I wish I had fantastic news, but I'm not there yet. I recently switched clinics and am about to start round #5. I had a horrible experience with my last two cycles at my local clinic. After I decided to switch I requested all my medical records including my doctor's notes. Reading them was like reading fiction. This is upsetting, but it also gives me hope that with a new doctor and new clinic I might find success because obviously my old doctor lacked integrity. My new doctor seems extremely optimistic. That said, I also found out that if I only get male embryos than they need to be transferred or insurance will no longer cover services. It makes sense, but it's a lot pressure. So, very soon I will know if my IVF journey is going to be successful or over for good. Going through so much has given a lot of perspective. I miss my angel daughter so much. My life will never be the same, but at the same time I am very blessed with my boys. Seeing so many people struggle to just have one pulls on my heartstrings. I don't feel bad for my desires, but I do feel humbled. Wishing everyone that reads this now or years from now success. I will update once this final round is over.

I am so glad you're in better hands now - I truly think medicine needs to clean house desperately because far too many of us are having awful experiences.
I am hoping and praying for a happy update soon.

Sad update. So with Covid-19, my cycle got delayed. I went in about 2 weeks before turning 41. Got 10 eggs, 8 mature, 5 fertilized, and one made it to blast. It came back abnormal. My journey for a biological girl is now over. I have really good hormone levels, my husband has decent sperm, but IVF just won't work with my eggs. My current doctor says that if I tried on my own that I have a very high chance of miscarriage. IDK. My friend offered me her untested embryos. We're debating the pros and cons of this. I really wish I could test them, but they're day 7 and that likely wouldn't be too much for them. My doctor advised against accepting. He said to do donor egg with testing and to hope that we'd get a normal female embryo. Grateful for my friend, but really bummed about not having a mini-me. Child loss really sucks. I feel punished for wanting another girl so badly.

Any update CodeViolet? I hope you are doing ok and was sorry to see your most recent update in June.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
