Lost

My RE just called. It's never good news when the doctor himself calls you. I was waiting for instructions on my ET tomorrow morning. He said all embryos came back from PGS with severe abnormalities. Again. There is nothing to transfer. Worse, I asked him what's next? He said, "There is no next. Your egg quality is consistantly too poor. It is not worth doing this anymore." He knows that DE and adoption are out of the question. So, basically, you're saying I'm never going to have a baby? "I'm sorry."

Where do you go from there? There is no where. I've just been handed the sentence that I will never have a baby. How do you deal with that? No food will taste good. No amount of wine will help. Tears are a waste. I just flat out feel like a failure, and that I have no further purpose in life. I know that sounds drastic, but it is entirely accurate.

 Please take me off the Polar Bear list.



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!

I am so incredibly sorry and wish there was anything I could say to take at least some of the pain away. I am sure it is overwhelming. Do take some time for yourselves though to grieve. Take a day or two from work if you can. Lean on those closest to you when you are ready if anyone knows about your struggles. Or just curl up in bed, cry and scream. Whatever you do, don't feel guilty about it. This journey is unbelievably difficult and incredibly unfair. Sending huge huge hugs to you.

Oh honey you are in no way a failure.  Please never think that way.  You have tried so hard, much harder than most people.  You are a strong woman who has been dealt an unbearable hand and it is not fair.  No one should have to endure what you are going through.  I wish that there were some words that I could say that could take away some of your pain.  Please know that you and your dh are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so so so sorry to hear this. After news like this be kind to yourself, its not your fault. IF bites a big one and no one should have to go through something like that.

Anniversary
Me(31): Possibly Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency caused by a mutation in my pituitary genes called PIT-1--Also, Factor V Leiden
DH (31): Borderline low morph, but not considered a problem
"Baby dancing" with no protection or BCP since July 2009
IF testing started March 2011
Endocrinology related tests from October 2011-February 2012
March 2012--Clomid --No response-Straight to injects!
April & May 2012-- IUI#1 & #2 = BFN
July 2012- IVF#1 cancelled
September 2012-IVF#1.2--BFN
November 2012- IVF #2 --BFN
January 2013- IVF #3-- BFFN
February 2013--Found a new RE but first back to the Endocrinologist for more diagnostic testing
Absolutely no idea when we can cycle again...looking into DE as well if IVF#4 fails again
PAIF/SAIF encouraged...give me some hope!!
For detailed cycle info. see right side of blog... Kate's IF Blog

I know how you are feeling. I'm either one day or 9 days away from the same ending with no child. I have no advice but wanted to say I am thinking of you. We did not fail. Our bodies just failed us. But there has to be another path for us that we just don't know about yet. Just hang in there and take it one day at a time. 


TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:39 and BRCA1+, DH:45
DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality

***sig warning***

I am truly sorry you recieved such news.  I know I don't know your history and/or why adoption is out of the picture for you guys.  But would you ever consider using a donor egg program?  It could be something worth looking into.

Prayers to you that you find a way to get your miracle baby.
