Transfer cancelled and apparently I have bad eggs..awesome.

Well they call this morning to say neither of our embryos made it, we were supposed to transfer today. We had Azoospermia to start with, but when we found sperm we thought we had made it through the woods... 

guess not. I, who was supposedly healthy, did not stim well and we only got 6 eggs. 2 fertilized but only made it to 5 cell. We decided to go on Monday to talk with our dr. All this time thinking it was a sperm issue since my husband is much older (60).

 In a Voicemail, my dr. Stated that apparently we had an egg issue... I  had handled the news of the transfer cancel pretty well. But when I got that voicemail an hour later, it was pretty much a kick in the gut. At 29, I thought I would have no issues at all. 

 So devastated now, to think this could be over when I thought we where just starting.

I'm so sorry!! Maybe there is a different IVF protocol that would yield better egg quality & quantity for you? I would ask the dr about it. ((hugs))

Oh crpate, I'm so sorry.

I think the worst part of IF is the curve balls we are thrown when we least expect them. There is nothing anyone can say to make it better, it just plain sucks.

I hope that when you meet with you RE, they have a plan just for you!

so sorry for the news!

i know that my RE learned a lot about how my body would respond to meds through my failed iui's. if you went straight to IVF, maybe your doc just hasn't figured out the right protocol for you?

hang in there and know you have support here.

I'm so sorry. I 100% understand. We went into this IVF basically just a MFI couple and ICSI was going to fix it all!!!! Then suddenly my AMH was crap and we only got 5 eggs, 3 of which fertilized. It's so hard going from the "fertile" half of the couple (although we don't even blame our H's.. it's still different), to the problem and it's devastating. :(

sorry this was a fail!  It sucks that in order to figure things out you have to try.  It's not cheap and isn't fun.  do you have a WTF appointment set?  Ask a LOT of questions, they can maybe change up your protocol, etc.  Good luck!

I am so sorry.  It stinks to find out that something is wrong.  I remember after my hsg and I found out that I had  polyps in my uterus and blocked tubes they called and said that I had pcos and my eggs are older than I am (and I am already 36).  When it rains it pours sometimes.  But these drs are usually very optomistic and when you sit down with them they always have a plan.  Good luck!

Married 12-12-04
TTC since 07
me-36 PCOS, Tubal Problems, and polyps removed 7-12
DH - 36 extremely handsome and no fertility problems
IUI 8-12 and 9-12 failed
IVF 12-21-2012 - 2 I think perfect no matter what the dr graded them (2B)embryos transferred Beta on 12-31-12 Positve - Beta is 21
Beta 2 1-2-13 - 31
Beta 3 1-4-13 - 53
Beta 4 1/9 - 212!
Ultrasound 1/10 - Nothing completely empty uterus Beta 1/14 - 743; Beta 1/17 - 1704 ultrasound shows nothing. Officially a miscarriage. 1/21 Beta 3900 Dr. says it ectopic. Ultrasound shows a miracle heartbeat right in the uterus where it belongs! Dr. says I can be cautiously optomistic!!! Hang in there baby!

I am so sorry. I know what it feels like to go through the whole process up to day of transfer, only to be told there's nothing worthy to transfer. Sucks.


My (old) BLOG: www.ivfbabyquest.wordpress.com
TTC since Jan 2010 with OPKs. Me: 41, Hypothyroidism, hetero MTHFR C677T, hetero Factor V Leiden (no previous clots) Dx: DOR due to AMA. Rx: 100mg Levothyroxin, FaBB tab, Spring Valley Prenatal Vitamins, Vitamin D. Hubby: 34, Hyperthyroidism, Fragile X carrier, Great swimmers!
Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12
IVF #1: 10/17/12 Baseline: FSH- 9.4, E2- 24, LH- 3.7, Progesterone- 0.3. 6 follicles in my right ovary & 9 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in AM. 10/21/12: Add Ganirelix SQ in PM. 10/26/12: hCG Trigger IM. ER 10/28/12: 13R, 7M, 6F. 5 Made it to PGS. ET 11/2/12: CANCELED. PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF. Maxed out lifetime IF meds insurance. I can barely breathe, waiting to get through this process, hoping for my take-home-baby.
IVF #2: 1/7/13 Baseline: FSH- 8.8, 4 follicles in my right ovary & 6 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in PM. 1/11/13: Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. 1/16/13: hCG Trigger IM. ER 1/18/13: 9R, 5M, 5F. 2 Made it to PGS. ET 1/23/13: CANCELED. PGS: All embryos have "multiple severe abnormalities." RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the repeated extremely poor quality of my eggs. I don't even know what to do with that.
IVF #3- NEW RE! 100% OOP: 3/1/13 Baseline: FSH- 9.6, E2- 61, Progesterone- 0.94, 3 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/7/13: Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 3/9/13 SQ. 3/11/13 ER: 6R, 2M, 2F. Day 3: one 8 cell, grade 0. 3/16/13 Five day ET: one early blast, grade Fair. 3/24/13 Started period a day before beta. BFN.
IVF #4 (FINAL) (Added acupuncture to this cycle.): 3/25/13 WTF & Baseline: FSH-11.8, E2- 56, Progesterone- 0.84 3/26/13 Start stims. 3/30/13 u/s: 5 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left. Rx: 225 Bravelle & 225 Menopur SQ in PM. 3/31/13 Add Ganirelix SQ in AM. hCG Trigger 4/3/13 SQ. 4/5/13 ER: 5R, 3M, 3F naturally. Day 3: two 8 cell, grade 0, one 8 cell, grade 2 (Scale 0-best to 3-worst). 4/10/13 Five day ET: two blastocysts (the 3rd stopped growing.) 4/18/13 Beta: 2.5 BFFN.
No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!
