Got the call this morning that the embryos have pretty much stopped developing since Wednesday. They are going to transfer "the best two". A 10 and 12 cell which is a joke. It's basically over already. RE doesn't know why this cycle was an epic fail compared to the others but im 99% sure they are going to kick us out of shared risk. I honestly don't know what (if anything) is next.

I'm so sorry. I've been in the place you are at and it is truly miserable. Can you ask that they wait until tomorrow to see what happens on day6? I would not want to bother transferring what you have either. I'd take the risk knowing they would likely arrest in the dish but its a bit easier trying to accept and move on when you aren't dealing with a 2WW. Big hugs.

I just can't wrap my head around it honestly, previous cycles we've had decent embryos-even one to freeze, we realize my progesterone is probably the issue, get that under control and then my embryos are crap. Wth?? It REALLY seems like the universe is trying to tell us to hang it up. Money is officially an issue with future decisions so I don't know where to go from here

RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the extremely poor quality of my eggs.
***Decided to stop trying and live CFNBC. I couldn't adjust. So, six months later...
IVF #5: Changed RE. Going to one of the big name clinics now. OWDU: 10/29/13. Update: HORRIBLE experience. Disgusted and distraught at their complete unprofessionalism and how much money and precious time they cost us. Sickening. Have now changed RE again. New Patient appt. 1/30/14.
