So true Molisa.... quantity is not good if the quality isnt there. My first cycle i had 13 eggs and by day 5 had no viable embryos. 2nd cycle 15 eggs and only 3 alive on day 6. Then 3rd cycle 17 eggs and a very successful quality cycle.... im not sure if it was changes i made in my life for that cycle or if it was just my time.
The mathematical odds is tricky also...... I could not wrap my head around the fact that cycle 2, 3 embies biopsied and a perfect split in results.. 1 affected, 1 carrier and 1 unaffected. And then to get to cycle 3 and have 7 biopsied and all unaffected. It blows your mind........ The scientist explained to me after i accused him of testing wrong that each embie has its own set of odds, we cant see them as a whole unit. So yes a miracle occurred to me but not in the eyes of science
I just want to wish you and your little embies the best of luck for tomoz! I will be praying and anxiously awaiting news that you have had your transfer! xoxo
So sorry to hear that Molisa. That totally sucks. I wish it had been better news. I hope you have people around you who can support you in this tough time. We are thinking of you.
I need your advice. My FS phoned this afternoon and he recommended we start another cycle with different protocol. Before we started this cycle, we contacted the sperm bank and we can start the process any time soon using donor's sperm. My DH doesn't want me to go through another round of painful PGD journey and he wants us to stop here. What I can see from this thread is nobody got succeed in the first cycle. It is a trial-and-error process for my FS and he said it is too early for him. I know it is our decision, but I really want to hear your advices. Your support and company has made this process so much easier.
