My SIL got bad news yesterday

She was on her 3rd IVF cycle that didn't work. Her doctor told her that her egg quality was too poor and that they don't recommend doing another cycle with her eggs. They did say that embryo adoption or an egg donor could be an option. They are also considering adoption.

I feel so badly for her. She is 38 (will be 39 in Nov) and they don't have any kids. She is heartbroken but said that someday they will have a child.

I have no idea what I can do to help her, but listen and be here for her when she needs me. But she is very logic minded and doesn't show her emotions much. I hope she takes the time she needs to feel what she needs to feel.

Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!
BFP #1 6/22/09 EDD: 3/2/10 DS born: 3/8/10

TTC #2 since Dec 2011
BFP #2 7/8/12 EDD: 3/18/12 M/C @ 9w1d: 8/16/12

    That is heartbreaking! Fortunately there are still options out there. I technically used a donor for sea monkey. It is hard to make the decision but I am happy now that baby is on the way.

    Oh that is so heartbreaking. Hopefully she will be able to process this news and it sounds like she is positive about the future. I think she knows you are there to listen and be there for her if she needs to talk and offers her comfort. T and P!
