Hey everyone, I was waiting to update my blog until I had news on all the testing that had been done. I thought the worst part was the 11 day wait for news but the news was definitely the worst part. I am a strong person but I will be the first to admit it hit me harder then I had anticipated.
Well my tests came back negative. It was nothing I did at all. The embryos that they had frozen and then thawed out just weren't of the best quality. They had 5 and all had to be thawed for the quality of the best 2, which still were not 100 percent. So I received the news the same day as the blood work, and let the family know. We are all bummed and yet we all knew the chances were slim once they saw the embryos.
I am still going to continue in there dream of having a family. Now the process just starts over. It will begin again in about 4-6 weeks. They have to work with the donor and then we will start again. I am very hopeful that it will work the next time and only wished it was a positive result this time. Nothing more we can do now then to start again.
I would like to say thanks to everyone for all of your support and I am so thankful for all the great comments, emails and messages I have received from everyone. My life is going great and I am very happy with my decision to continue on this journey even though it did not work the first chance. So it has yet to end here, it is just another beginning...
Oh Jessica --- I am sooooo sorry for you and the parents. Such a sad ending to the anticipation. But I'm glad to see you haven't given up. My Mother had 5 miscarriages between me and my sister (10 years) ---- so don't lose hope because it can definitely happen! I'm rooting for you all!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani, yeah it was a big let down. I did all I could do and it just wasnt meant to be this time. We knew the percentage when the transfer happened because of the embryo quality. But still didnt make it any easier.. Thanks for your support.
ReplyDeleteOh Jessica- I'm so sorry to hear but very happy to know that you haven't given up! The family will be very blessed with this miracle! It will happen because its a kind selfless act of generosity and that is an amazing thing you r doing!!

Sorry to hear the negative result so far. Hang in there girl. You are strong and if it is meant to be it will happen. But only if you hang in there. Ric
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great attitude about the whole thing, exactly like you said, its just a new beginning. If this is meant to happen for them (and you) then it will! Keep your chin up girl!
