Infertility
I'm back!! Update from WTF appt :( (SAIFW)
It didn't go so well. ?The first thing the doctor said was that he was sorry to have to give me such bad news on the second day of the new year. ?Then he asked me if I lived near something toxic, worked in a factory, if my parents worked in a factory, my diet, ect. ?My embryos looked like embryos of patients in their 40s. ?My fsh was perfectly fine, my antral count was good so it is all a mystery.
He wants to try a different protocol but there was no hope that it will work any better. ?He doesn't think it's possible that every single egg I have is bad, but they just don't know. ?DH wants to try IVF again and I did too while we were on vacation. ?Then our ship docked and I had a panic attack just thinking about doing it again with such low chances that it will work. ?So...we will always try naturally because why not but as far as treatments go I am done. ?Maybe in a few years we will try IVF again but I am just not seeing it.
?That's that for now. ?As hard as I try I can't stay away from this board so I will be in an out like usual. ??

After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

"Someday we will look at our babies and know it will be worth it. If it was easy, we would not have had our babies, the babies we were meant to have." From Amy052006
I am sorry you got some unsettling news. I can tell you my experience with embryo quality - coming from a 39 year old with FSH of 12.8.
IVF #1 - antagonist protocol, transferred two blasts AA and AB, none to freeze, resulted in chemical pregnancy
IVF #2 - repeated same protocol, everything looked great on day 3 embryos so pushed to day 5 again and quality reduced dramatically. Transferred BC and CC grade. BFN
IVF #3 - long lupron protocol, decided to do a 3 day transfer since both time had good quality on day 3 we figured maybe better in my body rather than in petri dish. Worst quality yet. BFN
IVF #4 - EPP/antagonist protocol - 3 day transfer, 1 High implant potential 8 cell embryo, 2 good, and 1 fair. In 2ww.
For my WTF after #3 I specifically asked the RE due to the quality getting worse over time should we move to DE or adoption and he said no that he still thinks it will work and it is just a matter of getting the right combination.
Ultimately you and your DH will have to decide what is best for you. Don't lock yourself into any long-term decisions right now. Take time to absorb the information. I know my mind changes almost daily with whether to proceed or not. Is there another RE you can get a second opinion from?
Oh, sweetie, I am so sorry. I want to wish you the best of luck in whatever road you take in the future. See you around the board...

LO #2 - TTC 7 months, surprise spontaneous BFP!
I'm so sorry you got this news. I know how difficult it is deciding whether to give up on medical intervention, having made that decision after 4 IVFs. For me, it was important to feel like I had done everything I could, and would not look back and wonder "what if?" If that is the way you are feeling, I would recommend a second opinion if that would give you peace of mind. Taking time off to process before making any decisions at all, as pps have suggested, is also probably a good idea. Deciding what is right for you is difficult, and there's no reason to rush yourself.
((Hugs)) I wish you all the best in whatever you decide.
