I am so sorry! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Just wanted to let you know that we are starting an IVF cycle with PGD. Our transfer date is scheduled for Oct 26th, the day we lost our first baby from this donor. Crazy timing! Well, this is it...our last try so we will see!
Here's hoping the 4th time is the charm!!! Crossing my fingers...
Just wanted to let you know we were able to fertilize 16 eggs, 11 made it to blastocyst stage. Of those 11, 5 had abnormalities that were incompatible with life. 2 embryos were transferred and 4 frozen. I have taken several hpt, all of which are negative :-(. I go tomorrow for a blood test but things do not look good. The embryologist said that the sperm had "small heads" which is associated with poor fertilization and poor embryos. Interesting.... It is also, very interesting that I have lost two babies, sweetpea has lost one and no one else has had success. We will do frozen embryo transfers until these guys are gone and then we will switch donors. I hate that I am going to have to go through all this again with potentially poor embryos because the sperm seem to be abnormal. It has been such a long road and I am so sad and mad as well as financially broke! Anyways....thanks for letting me vent. If I were you ladies, I would switch donors and ask for a refund.
Our situation is quite same as yours. We got 6 good embryos, among which 2 of them were used for a fresh cycle and no preganancy. I'm now going to proceed to FET using the 4 frozen ones (potentially two cycles avaible). But knowing everything you have said above, I feel in such an awkward situation. What if I got pregnant but then lost it? I just can't imagine the pain...But on the other hand, I can't make my mind to just discard the 4 embryos either.
I am so sorry to hear about you bfn. I understand. Part of my wants to just switch now, but I can't bring myself the discard the 4 embryos that we have. But at the same time I think....two more unsuccessful cycles seems heartbreaking, and even worse...a miscarriage. Did your embryologist make reference to the "small heads?" Do you have any fertility problems? Or did you have unsuccessful IUI's?
@aggiebaby, did you tell fairfax? what did they say to the "small heads"???? I think if there's a problem with this donor, they need to pull him....
fairfax moderator?? any comments?

Thank you for your reply. We have four frozen embryos, and not sure if we should do FET. You gave us more confidence. It would even boost our confidence more if you can confirm those live birth reports. Same as aggiebaby, we called and were told that no live births reports will be given out.
Thanks again,
Judy
But for the few minutes this morning (before I went to work), and all day I was so excited thinking I was pregnant....I really hope there's a line tomorrow morning....I"ll keep you ladies posted.
I am on pins and needles waiting to see if there are two lines for you. I am hoping so badly for you.
Sticky baby dust to you!!1

How did your blood test go today? Praying for good things!
