Bad news about our PGS test

SaltyStar09 · August 2015

My husband and I just got off the phone with the dr and he broke the news - all three of our embryos were abnormal. So we have to start all over again. We are both in shock right now. I know most people have to do more than one cycle of IVF, I just really didn't want to be one of them. I think we all believe that we're going to beat the odds. I thought - I'm healthy, I look younger than I am, of course my eggs are better than others my age. But it's just not true.

The dr tried to accentuate the positive. A lot went right in this cycle (we got 11 eggs, most of them fertilized), the quality was just not good. It's hard not to feel disappointed.

At the same time, I feel weirdly relieved. The waiting was awful. Just awful. I'd rather have bad news than no news.

Thanks for listening, all. I so appreciate it.

So sorry for bad news, but I'm glad you feel relieved to be out of the wait and can focus on the positives from this round!

I am so very sorry. I just wish I had magic words. I love that you are keeping positive despite the news.
Sending you lots of well wishes and support xo

Thanks all, your words of kindness and support mean so much. The shock is starting to wear off and sadness set in but knowing there are people out there who understand is very comforting.

So sorry to hear this. Sounds like you are keeping positive and that's all that counts. Good luck going forward!

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I can totally relate to looking young and having old eggs. Last week at a dr's office, they were looking around for my mom because they thought I was under 18. In my head, I thought, "I'm 37. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my ovaries."

And you're so right about believing we'll beat the odds, like bad stuff only happens to other people. My protective bubble of happiness was burst not so long ago.

I hope you have better luck next month!
