June 2016 - IVF#3, Embryo Genetics

Genetics test results arrived today.  Our single frozen embryo from round 3 is abnormal.  It has been diagnosed with Turner Syndrome, and our RE does not recommend using it for transfer given the complications that come along with it.  Turner Syndrome isn't indicative of any additional challenges, nor is it related to my diminished ovarian reserve.  It's a common abnormality, and we were just unlucky enough to have this happen on top of what we are already dealing with.

We are both heartbroken that we are back to 1 embryo.  So much effort just to be back where we were in February.  IVF = Isn't Very Fair...remember?

Round 4 birth control has already started.  Tentatively moving to shots around end of next week.  We will meet with the RE tomorrow and talk more about the genetics and strategy for round 4.  More to come...
