Well we just encountered one more bump along our in vitro route. Pretty typical. Of course nothing can be easy in an already stressful and emotional journey. Today we found out how many normal embryos we had out of the 5 total embryos. 3 abnormal and 2 inconclusive.
Inconclusive you say... You mean you don't know if it's normal or abnormal. That wasn't part of the plan. That wasn't ever given to us as a feasible option. So now what....
We were given three choices....
Option #1 Continue with medication to prep my body for implantation. When my body is ready for implantation they can thaw the embryo and biopsy the embryo again and within 24 hours we would either have an embryo that was normal or abnormal ( if normal be able to implant).
Option # 2 thaw the embryo biopsy again freeze the embryo and wait 10-14 days for results. I would still continue with implantation medications but if the embryo was abnormal and no good I would only have to take 1 week of medicine vs 3 weeks. If normal continue my medications an implant the end of June.
Option # 3 do another round of in vitro and batch the testing with the two "inconclusive" embryos to improve our chances.
Sooo we have decided to go with option # 3! In vitro # 3 will start May 31st. Hopefully we will continue to have more embryos and the two inconclusive results prove to be normal.
Matt and I were disappointed ( again ) but again these are the cards we have been dealt and have quickly learned that this is completely out of our control.
Today we spent the day together! Did a little retail therapy, hung out with our new neighbors, and indulged in some wine and ice cream.
