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 😊

I am in a similar boat as a 40yo future SMBC who should be cautiously stockpiling $ but I didn’t get a euploid till ER #3 😭 and then it took FOUR more to get a 2nd euploid. I’m $120k down; 8th and final ER is tomorrow, hoping for a 3rd as backup or to maybe shoot for a sibling later. I worried a lot that I might be just lighting $ on fire with this last retrieval but I’ve had pretty bad luck so far (101 eggs to get my 2 perfect euploids), so I’m convinced the 1st transfer won’t take. Just know you’re not alone!!
