This blog charts our story in trying to have a family. It describes the soul-destroying, mind-bending, insanity-producing experience of being told that your baby has serious abnormalities, and to decide that you believe it to be kinder, for the baby, not to continue with the pregnancy. And to be faced with this situation twice. This is not a blog which is pro-TFMR or anti-CTT (carrying to term). This is purely the story of what has happened to my husband and I and how we came to our decisions.
So sorry to hear. I also tried IVF with PGD (aCGH) again. Of 21 eggs retrieved, 14 were mature, 12 fertilized, 11 made it to biopsy on day 3, and 1 good embryo. I got positive HCG levels, very high. Then there was no heartbeat on the first or second scan. So they are declaring a miscarriage, they don't know why. This was IVF #5 for us. I have no idea what to do now. I turn 35 next month.
I'm so sorry :(
ReplyDeleteOh no. How sad.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this! Sending hugs! :-(

ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear that. It's hard enough to get one good embie with BT, and for it not to take when you do get a good one is wretched.
