After a brutal two weeks of waiting, I finally received a call from the fertility clinic this morning with the results of the PGS test. I wasn't expecting good news because statistically, a woman of my age has only a 40% chance of having a chromosomal "normal" embryo, but I was hoping for good news. Unfortunately, both of the embryos were in the other 60% -- abnormal. According to the doctor, both embryos had multiple chromosomal duplicates and/or missing chromosomes.
Where does that leave us? Well, we paid for the 3-IVF cycle plan, which means we can do three rounds of IVF (the daily injections, monitoring, retrieval, etc.) before having to purchase another "round" of IVF. In the meantime, I'm back to waiting, this time for an IVF nurse at the clinic to call me so I can set a start date for the second attempt at IVF. The doctor who gave me the bad news told me that their lab closes in mid-December for the holidays, so I can probably squeeze in one more round of IVF before they close. I hope so. If I have to wait until January to start again, I may lose my mind.
