Mini Vent (warning: dumbass mentioned)

First off, I found out today that we have nothing to freeze. Our 2 little 'average' embryos leftover from the 2 'good' ones they transferred didn't make it to day 6, which is required by our clinic to freeze. So basically all my eggs are in one basket (the basket being my uterus). That was frustrating enough.

However, I channeled my disappointment into extreme eye rolling today. And bear with me, I'm totally overreacting, but it's easier to mad than sad. I went to see a hypnotherapist (yes, yes, I know it sounds dumb - it was purely for relaxation and anxiety reduction, plus she supposedly specializes in infertility & hypnobirthing). So I had met her before and thought she was kind of a bimbo, but she proved it today. I explained all of the ups and downs we have had with infertility, over 3.5 yrs and the heartache and disappointment, etc. Then I told her that we will get our bloodtest results back next week and that we have a trip planned the next day, just in case - for celebration or consolation. 

So blondie goes into this long spiel about how that's exactly like what she recommends to her pregnant clients who are getting antsy about their due dates. She tells them to plan something 'fun' on their due date so they don't get disappointed if they don't deliver on that day. WTF. Yeah, us planning a trip on the day we find out if our thousands of dollars and years of pain have been worth it, just to avoid having a complete emotional breakdown is totally like wondering if your healthy baby will arrive at the exact moment you wanted it to. 

I expect comparisons like this from random people, but not people claiming to specialize in IF. Grr.

  • IVF#2 - Started stims August 21st. Triggered with Suprefact, started on dostinex due to risk of OHSS. Retrieval September 5th - got 27 eggs! 21 embryos on day 3. Embryos deteriorated quickly. ESet 5day blast on Sept 10. No embryos high enough quality to freeze. BFN came Sept. 22.

    Dont fret about the Freeze.  I had 2 cycles where "all my eggs were in one basket"  It happens.  I only have 1 frostie to show for 3 IVF cycles.  It sucks.  But it happens to a lot of women.  I love to hear the ladies who have tons to freeze, but its really not the norm.

    As far as your whack job lady......  I think I trump you.  My mom claims to be psychic.  So we are not telling her about baby until its obvious.  Cause I mean..if she's psychic she should already know. :)
