IVF with PGD #5

Well bad news.
Had 4 embryos yesterday morning, they did PGD and all 4 were chromosomally abnormal. In a way, I'm relieved I don't have to wait out a pointless 2ww or endure another biochemical pregnancy, plus now I know why it hasn't been working so far... but it still sucks. I think we'll try one more IVF/PGD and then probably look at changing sperm donors and/or my female partner will donate me her embryos. So much to think about! And to make matters worse, it's my birthday tomorrow. But my current feeling is more relief than sadness. Have any of you felt this way too?

Jaki - how did you go? Hope you got some good ones!! Wishing you very best of luck for an excellent transfer!

Mia's mama - any more thoughts on another PGD cycle?

Foxy I am so sorry. ((((((hug))))) It really sux!!!!!!!

I think using your partners embryos would be so beautiful, that really is coming together and making a child that is really both of yours, in spirit rather than DNA. Her gentic make up with your blood pulsing through it. Totally wonderful in my opinion. And I'm 100% sure you would never feel less of a mother to this child you would carry.
If it were me I'd never hesitate using donor eggs and have actually thought about it as a last resort if needed.

As for the relief feeling I've never had that... But I've also not had 11 transfers like you so I can understand.

Xoxo

Foxy77 - Sorry to hear the news. After being sad and ****ed off, I got the same relief feeling. My 6 PGD tested abnormal embryos, were also six prevented miscarriages. We are thinking to do one more PGD/IVF cycle and that would be it. Maybe we'll get a dog...our daughter has been asking for a sibling, dog or cat! I'm happy she's left us with options! haha.
I agree with Jaki80 about using your partners eggs/embryos. It would be a beautiful thing to do.

Jaki80 - Hoping this is your day for some good news!

Update.....
Had 3 embies tested today, all clear of the bad gene.... Which is crazy incredible!!!!!
Strongest embie transfered, a boy. 2 girls frozen.
There are 5 early blasties that could catch up for testing tomoz!
I'd stopped hoping good things could happen so I am toally amazed by this cycle.

Foxy I hope you managed to have a good birthday.

Xoxo

Jaki80- CONGRATS! How surprising and wonderful...and to have 2 frozen + 5 more to test...LOTS of babydust your way...it's your time :)

Ok ladies... Last annoying update until pg bt.
Had 4 more blasties tested this morning. And again all 4 were free of my bad gene! Not even any carriers! It's crazy insanely unheard of! I'm actually worried the checked wrong, lol.
One bad strike of luck tho was one of the blasties had latched on to the glass dish and the scientist moving them to the freezer could not get it off safely so we lost it.
But all up we now have 6 in the freezer so I shall not complain :)

Wow Jaki!!!!
That's absolutely fantastic and what great news!!!!!
How long until your blood test? GL!!!!!

I've decided to do another PGD cycle after discussion with my FS and so starting on the pill soon. Kind of exciting to be trying again so soon and he doesn't see there's any reason I shouldn't get pregnant eventually!!!
So hope is back...

Let us know how you go Jaki!

Jaki80 - Are you driving yourself crazy in the 2ww?!! Hope you are feeling good....

Foxy77 - Nice to hear you back into it again! I really hope the best for you this cycle!

We are thinking to go again (whenever I get my period...maybe in the next week?). Dr. wanted me to take one month off to let my ovaries recover from the stimulation. Part of me wants to try naturally, but I am so freakin' scared of miscarrying again. Sis-in-law had new baby last Friday and gosh, those feelings of wishing, wanting, needing and a bit of jealousy all bubbled up!

Ok ladies here it is....... Its a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im in a complete state of shock! This cycle has been amazing after such heartache in the past.
It does not feel real, Thank you so much for your support.
Im defo going to keep following you guys so keep posting!
