Infertility

Failed

hi ladies,

so, after waiting for the PGD results of our second IVF cycle, the one embryo we had, had an extra chromosome - so it failed. We retrieved 18 eggs ( which is good for my age 40) and after all the tests and wait, just one again. Except that the first time we made it to the transfer stage, which turned into a chemical pregnancy. 

I have spent the last week crying and being angry, and then just feeling defeat. This week is better ( I was traveling when I got the news) because I am home and my husband has been my rock. But I know I am done. I can't think of pregnancy..shots, cycles, diets etc. I'm done. I know it can still happen naturally...but I need to move on and gain my life back. I welcome natural pregnancy with open arms...but I have to move on and not think of any of this for a while. 

I wish you ladies all the luck in the world!

  • @pascorra - I've been lurking over the last little while, checking in on you ladies, and my heart just broke a bit. I'm so saddened by this news. I'm so beyond sorry. The pain we experience when we put ourselves through all the emotional and physical turmoil of IVF, is nothing compared to walking away from it with nothing to show. To not even have the chance to transfer I'm sure has been devastating. I totally relate and support your decision to walk away. After our second failed IVF I did too. For 2 years or so. It was the best decision I ever made. I was able to get back to being me, back to focusing on mine and DH's relationship, and back to living life in general. There is so much life out there to live. I hope you are one day blessed with the family that you so desire, and wish you emotional healing in the meantime. Big hugs to you my dear. xx

  • @pascorra , so sorry to hear about your situation. I agree that it is easy to have this process take over your life, and life should be about more. Best of luck with everything!
  • @pascorra, I am so sorry to hear this.  I can relate.  I am 41 and after our last IVF attempt, all 3 embryo were abnormal after PGS.  To go through all that and have nothing to show is devastating.  Please know you are not alone.  Take care of yourself and focus on being happy and healthy.  You will have your ups and downs, I am sure.  Stay positive and look for another door to open.  hugs! 
  • I am sorry to hear this.  I hope you can recover bit by bit over time.  I am going through a similar but different situation.

    I had donner eggs we had 9 and they all failed, they all died before I could even get the genetic testing done.  We moved on and powered thru and found a new donor.  I hope you might look into donor eggs and read about how they do become a part of your body.  At a certain age we have to consider these things.  Sadly I am now having other problems not related to the donor eggs.

    I hope for you healing but look into other options for your self as well.
