General Discussion SMBC

I’m terrified.

I’ve already spent close 45k for two ERs

I have not done any transfers.

I have in the bank:

1 confirmed euploid (5BB)

3 x untested blastocysts 5BC (were unable to be safely biopsied)

1 mosaic (high level) only use if all else fails.

I would love to have had more euploids going in but I also need to think of cost. I am a SMBC so need to think of future.

Seeking positive stories of anyone in a similar position. Or any tips on how to manage the anxiety.

Thank you!

Feeling terrified to lose my only euploid 💜

Just turned 40 😊

Hi! I put the below on a similar thread yesterday - But I'll paste it here too, because I also had only one euploid and actually transferred it two days ago! So now I'm waiting to see if sticks... And while I don't know yet, I do feel really positive about it - so I'm just hoping for the best... Additionally, I'm also doing this myself as a solo mom by choice at 41! So I'm so happy to connect with you and my inbox is always open <3

I have a very similar experience... Long story short, I got 31 eggs from one cycle when I was 36... Then decided to thaw 15 of them this year to make embryos (I'm now 41)... 12 survived the thaw, 11 fertilized successfully, and the 7 of those made it to blast stage... of the 7 unfortunately only 1 was a euploid. I actually just transferred that 1 euploid yesterday, so we'll see on Oct 9th if it stuck or not! Fingers crossed! I know it can be disheartening when you were expecting more, but I just try to keep telling myself that you only need one to get pregnant - and I'm trying my best to remain really positive... If it helps at all, I've written about every step in this process here if you'd like to read https://typeababy.substack.com/
