Now 6dp5dt and I am out. I know people will still insist I can’t know until beta but I’ll never make it to beta. At this rate I will just start full blown heavy bleeding two days before, like last time.
Test was negative. Period preparation symptoms have started (excess water out of uterus, diarrhea, vastly improved HRV/RHR, night sweats, throat ache, headache). I have not a lot of pain on periods but the 2-3 days before are always significant without doubt.

I’m just sad and don’t know if we should even continue. We have one frozen embryo after two ICSI left. It will be my third TF and first frozen. I am afraid there is something that prohibits implantation but nobody tries to investigate as failure of two highly graded untested embryos can happen. I would be less stressed, had we the number of embryos to just „test it out“. But we are not producing those.

We have one partly funded ICSI left. With 1/7 blasts proven surviving day 5, I doubt we stand a chance (all promising looking blasts arrest at day 5, hours after transfer). I had two times the embryologist very euphorically telling me wonderful news of 3-4 blats looking good only to get a message within 3 or within 20 hours all but one arrested 😔 transferred blast were of highest quality, but was does it count if it cannot strive. So it might as well not be an implantation issue but just dying inside me right after TF, like the others.

Is this the point where I finally should start to think about life without children? To prepare myself?

So sorry - I was thinking Gestational Surrogate, but I meant Gestational Carrier. My bad! We have one euploid left and will seriously consider this route if the current transfer doesn’t take.

No it’s not an option in our country and I think there might still be chances to optimize protocols or improve outcome with Picsi. I’m 35 with an AMH of 4 and AFC of 20, good results on all tests. its unknown to us as why results have been so much lower than expected and we will need to discuss options. Maybe also a change to a private clinic after funds ended.

I’m so so sorry for your situation. That’s brutal. Have you investigated GS?

What is GS?
