Donor recap and the road ahead

Today I FINALLY heard back from the clinic regarding the two embryos that were sent for PGS testing... they are BOTH abnormal. So this last donor was a bust. Damn.

Here is out donor history just to be clear:

Donor 1: 8 frozen eggs thawed and inseminated = 1 day 5 blastocyst (NOT TESTED but can be transferred)

Donor 2: 15 retrieved, 8 fertilized, 2 made it day 5 and PGS tested = 1 day 5 blastocyst - PGS normal

Donor 3: 6 retrieved, 4 fertilized, 2 made it to day 5 and PGS tested = ZERO normal blastocysts

So, where does that leave us? I have a flight tomorrow to Prague and I am getting on that plane! We have the one normal PGS tested blastocyst so we are hoping that little frostie is the one! The coordinator did say that there was a donor that might meet our requirements and she is going in for her retrieval tomorrow but if we give her a go, we will not have PGS results before transferring. So Jason and I will discuss the options tonight. Either way, I am headed to Prague.

Of course I was really hoping to have more than one egg but honestly I am not that upset about these latest results. It is just par for the course.

I have posted this song before, but this song speaks to my soul and feels so fitting.

Send me calming vibes for my travel day which starts tomorrow... I am usually a freakishly nervous flyer. I have been working with my amazing acupuncturist for the last two weeks and I am actually feeling pretty good about everything. She has been specifically working on blood flow to my uterus but acupuncture as a whole just makes me feel so much better. I just wish she could come with me!
