Failed transfer – May 2019

This is a delayed blog post from May 2019.

Wednesday May 29, 2019.

Unfortunately it’s sad news for the team today. We received blood results this afternoon which confirmed a negative result from our recent embryo transfer.

It has definitely been an emotional couple of weeks to get to this point and not the outcome that we were all hoping for, but something that will only make us stronger as a team overall.

We do still have one little embryo tucked away in the freezer and have decided that there is no better time than now to wake that little blip up and give it a chance at sticking (it’s been a fighter up until this point! – the one embryo that had the biggest turnaround in development in just one night and the last to jump in to the freezer). I’m now in the position where I can ‘book on’ to the Repromed system again as of tomorrow morning and the team will be able to kick off a brand new cycle for transfer.

As a team we are off to Melbourne this weekend to attend the Surrogacy conference. This is one of the highlights of my year where I get to see many of my surrogacy friends. A once a year catch up and this year with a whole day with my fellow surrogates in the Surrogacy Sisterhood Day organised by Sarah Jefford.

I was hoping to head to this conference in the early stages of pregnancy, but alas, it’s not meant to be. The world of IVF is a bumpy one, and now I have a better understanding for what people go through who endure many of these 2WW (2 week waits).
