Hi. As some of you may know by now, we had our first IVF transfer on August 12 where we transferred 2 of our embryos. We found out on Friday, the 25th, that our pregnancy test was negative and the transfer didn’t work.
We are feeling all of the feelings. Sadness, anger, frustration… But we also feel all of the support and prayers around us. Thank you for that.
To back up a little bit, we had our egg retrieval on August 7 and they were able to retrieve 25 eggs. Of the 25, 17 were fertilized and 6 made it to embryos. We transferred two embryos by choice and by our doctor’s opinion.
Next steps
We have 4 frozen embryos that we are going to continue to try with. We are not giving up. We are not sure if we will be taking a little break or if we will jump right back in at this time. It is a lot of money and emotional and physical energy to go through all of it.
I’m sharing all of this because I have received so much support after sharing that I don’t know if I could do it without the support of my family and friends. Thank you all so much for being there for us and supporting us in so many ways!
I’m also sharing to support others who may be going through similar things and may need someone to talk to about it. I get it.
That’s the update for now. Thanks for reading.
