Just went through our second retrieval, and we were able to send 4 for PGT-SR testing. Everything I’ve read about my genetic issue says 66% of embryo making it past blast stage are going to fail. Having 4 sent off is triggering hope again, which is incredibly hard because I’ve had to temper my hope so much through all of this. I want to believe this round will work for us, but I’m fucking terrified. The grading isn’t great for these 4 either, but I’m trying not to let that get me down.
We had 9 retrieved, 8 mature, 7 fertilized, and 4 sent off for testing. Last round was 7 > 6 > 5 > 2 > 0. I’m scared but want to have hope SO badly. I don’t know what will help, but positive thoughts and strength are so needed right now.
Good luck! I hope you have an easy recovery and good results at the end. Sending you good thoughts ❤️
Try to keep yourself busy! I legit felt like I was gonna lose my mind waiting for our PGT-A results. I went to Target and bought a bunch of different craft stuff - a paint by numbers, a jewel art kit, air dry clay, and a coloring book. Keeping my hands and mind busy made it harder to worry about
I’m about to embark on hours of cross-stitch because of your comment, so thank you for the suggestion!!
Yay! Send a picture of your finished product :)
