Hi ladies,
I had my first IVF in Sept which resulted in a BFP only to show no HB at 6 weeks, currently in the process of miscarrying so my hormones are probably playing some part in this.
I just found out that after PGD testing we have 1 healthy embryo left - I know it only takes one but I was really hoping that both of the ones we tested would be healthy. Chemo treatments have left DH sterile so IVF is our only option. We are paying entirely OOP for the procedures and I really don't think we'd be able to do another fresh round so this will be our last chance. We go back to the RE in two weeks. I'm just feeling kind of sorry for myself.
Thanks for listening!

Pookster1020 I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the same thing with my last IVF and the hormones are very unhelpful. Please give yourself time to grieve and recover.
I hope your frozen embryo is a rockstar!
