I'm so sorry to hear this
I am highly disappointed but not unexpected I guess. ONE of the embryos they said was "indeterminate" and could be tested again so I am going to ask they do that. I know it risks damaging the embryo, but it's worth a shot (unless he would just put that one in anyway). Worth asking.
Thanks everyone!! :-)

On another note, since I stopped the estrogen pills/patches, my period came about 10 days early!! I don't know if stopping the estrogen caused it or not. If not, then this month for an FET would have been shot anyway (I was supposed to have my FET this Friday). That is now 2 cylces with MUCH shorter luteal phases than normal.

As we researched, there is a likelihood (small, but still) that the embryo could self-correct and end up in a normal state as the article that was shared above describes. It's worth a shot before spending another $10K on IVF#2. He said at my age, it may end up the same next time (with no normals), so why not try this first. He wants me to talk to a genetic counselor first so they can go over the risks (obviously if it works and the embryo didn't self-correct and I end up with a child with abnormalities). From there, we will start the next cycle. Praying hard here!!

So 3 embryos were biopsied and frozen on Day 5 and the remaining 5 were biopsied and frozen on Day 6 which was Friday- so a total of 8 embabirs! So now I await the PGS results. I spoke with my Dr and the nurse about my FET and it seems like I’ll be xferring in about 40-50 days which lands some time in September- seems like a long while from now! Was hoping to xfer before school starts, but I guess not!
@pathomer - Great news on having 8 to test!!
AFM: It took about 12 days to get my PGS results from day 6 freeze. Indeterminate means they couldn't replicate the DNA (probably the sample they took wasn't enough). Just basically that they have no idea whether it is normal or not, so it will just be the same as anyone else putting in an embryo untested (except I know the sex - F). Dr. doesn't mind because he said it is more unlikely that it will work if it is abnormal anyway, so we may as well try it.
My FET will depend on when THIS cycle starts and how quick I can talk to the genetic counselor. I expect my period sometime in the next week or so, so maybe it will work out for late July early August, otherwise, it will be late August-early September.
