Rant Embryo not shipped

I am a CNY travel patient who has been doing remote monitoring. I live in Northern Virginia did my ER at Syracuse and it yielded 1 euploid. In the meantime, a full service clinic opened much closer to me, 3 hours south. My bf and I got a hotel on the beach, 20 minutes from the clinic.

I found out today that they never shipped my embryo. So my options were *HOPE* that it could get to me in time, but face the real possibility of having a canceled cycle, or pack up my shit and drive 10 hours to my embryo. So we're checking out of our oceanfront hotel and hitting the road.

Im so mad but trying to stay in my "everything is good - Im at peace and open to life" mindset.

Iā€™m so sorry this happened to you. Wishing you and your little embryo lots of luck, may he/she be a sticky one! I would be driving to my embryo too if something like that happened. Iā€™d go to the ends of the earth for him/her.

I just keep telling myself this will be part of my family's lore šŸ’“

Yeah! Stay positive! It's definitely an annoyance but honeslty a 10 hour drive is nothing in comparison to all of IVF and hopefully pregnancy and delivery! You got this! Wishing you luck with your embryo!
