My very first ICLW =)
Welcome all ICLWers! This is my very first & I am praying it goes well. The goal is to leave at least 5 comments and return one comment daily, until the February 28th.
So here's a little about me; I am 22 and married to the love of my life! My hubby had cancer (Retinoblastoma) in both eyes as a baby. It was a very hard thing for his parents, as he had several surgeries & chemo. When we decided we wanted to start a family we visited a few genetic counselers who told us it was a 50% chance our children could have retinoblastoma. We decided to start IVF with PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis). We recently had our first IVF cycle.
I hope that you read my blog & enjoy!

Happy ICLW! I'm so sorry your IVF didn't work this cycle. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteHey Alicia, I read down and caught up a little on your story. I'm so sorry that this first cycle didn't go well. I understand how hard both the financial and emotional aspects can go. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry your first cycle was a bust and I'm even sorrier your friend was so insensitive. Lots of {{{hugs}}} and prayers for (quick) future success.

I'm sorry that you didn't get more embryos from your first cycle. Hopefully, the doctor will be able to tailor a better course for you next time and you will be able to add to the embies you already have frozen. I wish you and your husband all the best! ICLW.
