And Then There Was One

We got the call from the embryologist this afternoon and we have one. One single blast graded 4AB. The other 3 ceased to develop after 6 cells. The bottom line: I make really sh***ty eggs.

I'm not sure how I should be feeling. I'm disappointed, but at the same time grateful that we have at least one. I'm not a crying-type of girl and am usually pretty stoic, but in the past few hours I've gone through a myriad of different emotions and now, I'm just trying to figure out what to do next.

Should we do another cycle and try to get some more embryos? Do we just transfer the one embryo and call it quits? I'm really not sure...Doc wants to quit with this FET. Since we were able to get one blast, I'd really like to have at least two blasts to transfer back. I know I said that IVF #3 would be it, but damn, if that little thing called hope is making me a liar.

I guess we'll talk to Dr. Sur and see what he recommends.

Sorry to hear that the other three didn't make it to blast! The lone one left sounds like great quality though! Please let us know what you decided! You are in my thoughts!!!

Well, shit. That totally blows.

Bad news is so hard to take. I know you will make the right decision about what to do going forward.

Oh man, was hoping for better news than this. I'm sorry, I know how frustrating it is. It's such a game of chance. I hope you get some answers from the Dr. and have a plan to move foward with.

I'm so sorry your news was not what you had hoped for. after 5 days the best I could do was morula & she's due in 4 weeks so you never know! Thinking of you & sending some (((hugs))) your way!

I'm sorry Sooz. But I have a lot of hope for your one little blast. I, like you, would probably be seriously considering one more cycle to try and get another if it was financially and emotionally possible. Such tough decisions. Thinking of you. ((HUGS))
