We lost one of the embryos. It stopped developing yesterday afternoon. The one that is developing is a 4 cell with no fragmentation. The embryologist stated it is textbook perfect. She didn’t want to schedule a time for the transfer in case it didn’t continue to develop. I then stated that I was not going to transfer only one and we discussed combining it with one of the frozen blasts. I’m so frustrated with this process. Honestly I’m ready to just call it quits. Ivan was upset that I didn’t want to transfer the one that has developed and that we have to wait but at this point I think I’m entitled to make all the decisions. I’m the one going through everything.The uncertainty of all of this is nerve wracking. I can’t believe we’ve had so much difficulties with the 2nd and 3rd cycle. Maybe I should have just done a frozen right after the first and avoided all this. Our plan all along was to do 3 fresh cycles and freeze more and use our frozen blasts as our last option. It seems that’s where we are now…not very comforting.The embryologist was going to discuss it with the doctor and get back to me. If they are in agreement then the transfer will be on Monday.
Update:
We will be doing a day 5 transfer on Monday. The remaining embryo we have will be cultured and hopefully will develop into a blast where it then will be transferred with one of the popsicles. If it doesn't develop then we will transfer 3 pops.

Oh Liz, I'm so sorry it's been such a difficult road so far. I really hope this one works out. Even if you don't get to do the frozens this round, if (and that's a big if) you don't get pregnant with this one, the frozen ones will be available for you. I do understand the frustration though. :(

I am praying that your one little embryo is a fighter and will be the one to take. I am sorry for all of the pain you are going through. I hope the transfer goes smoothly.
I am thinking about you.

De-lurking to say that I hope everything went well today. You've been in my thoughts.

I am so sorry. I hope your fresh blast develops, and that you'll only need to transfer one of the pops.
I know you're discouraged, but it's not over yet. Try to hang in there. We're all rooting for you!

Liz, I'm so sorry this cycle has been disappointing. I'm sure you've heard this over and over, and it's probably not what you want to hear, but... it only takes one. You still believe in miracles, I know you do. Keep praying. If anyone deserves a miracle, it's you.
