I’ve been struggling with a big decision lately, and I could really use some advice. Have any of you been faced with a situation where you had to decide whether to break away from something familiar, transfer your energy to a new opportunity, or retrieve something old and comforting? How did you ultimately make your choice? I feel torn between these three options and would love to hear your experiences and insights. Sometimes, navigating through these decisions alone can be overwhelming, so I’m reaching out to this community for guidance. Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom and helping me through this tough decision.
I am facing a similar situation. After my first ER, we only got one euploid embryo. I am preparing for my second procedure this week and it’s hard not to rush into a transfer. I keep thinking about setting a specific number of blastocysts to transfer while waiting for the second round of PGTA results. However, it’s difficult to make a decision as I don’t want to make the wrong choice.
It is a difficult decision to make without the PGT results, but I faced a similar situation a few weeks ago. I was able to receive my results the same day and make a decision whether to do a transfer or another egg retrieval without waiting for another cycle. I was on birth control which gave me some extra time. I suggest going on birth control while waiting for the results. If you want more than one child, I would suggest leaning towards another retrieval. I understand how challenging it can be to make a decision without all the necessary information. As a 38-year-old, my decision to do a second egg retrieval is to bank embryos now so I hopefully won’t have to go through IVF again in the future. Hope this advice helps.
I’m the same age and have had 4 retrievals with around 8-4 blasts sent for PGT-A testing each time. On average I’ve had 1 Euploid each time. 2 times we’ve had a mosaic in addition.
Yes, I agree! Sending 5 is an excellent choice for testing. Good luck!
