I just received my PGT-A results, and I’m feeling a mix of emotions right now. Initially, there was anxiety waiting for the outcome, but now that I have them, it’s like a rush of emotions. The relief of finally knowing and the uncertainty of what comes next is all so overwhelming. Has anyone else experienced this rollercoaster of emotions after receiving their PGT-A results? How did you cope with it? Share your thoughts and experiences below.
It is completely normal and acceptable to feel disappointed when things don’t go as planned during the IVF process. It’s important to acknowledge and process those feelings, rather than beating yourself up for having them. Remember that it’s okay to have conflicting emotions and that you don’t have to choose one over the other. Good luck with your future transfer!
My cousin used donor eggs and got 11 euploid embryos, all of which turned out to be boys. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the outcome.

It’s completely normal and alright to feel disappointed when things don’t go as planned during IVF. It’s important to acknowledge your emotions and allow yourself to process them instead of beating yourself up for feeling that way. Remember that it’s okay to be sad about certain outcomes while also being happy about others. Best of luck with your upcoming transfer!
My cousin ended up with 11 euploid boys after using donor eggs. It’s just funny at that point.
IVF is unpredictable. In my first round, I had four euploid embryos, two girls and two boys, with the girls being the highest graded. I faced gender disappointment after failed transfers, but choosing not to know the sex of my next embryos led to finally having a take-home baby, a girl from embryo 8.
As a same-sex couple (both female), we had hoped for two little girls to be best friends, but only one euploid girl came from our transfer. Despite some grief, our son turned out to be the best thing for us. If more embryos take hold, you will be thrilled. Another retrieval resulted in a female embryo, so don’t give up hope. Congratulations on reaching this milestone.

I understand where you’re coming from. It seems that we can only have boys with normal chromosomes, so while I am incredibly thankful for having healthy embryos, I also need to mourn the fact that I won’t have a daughter. It’s okay to allow yourself to grieve, it’s normal to feel both grateful and sad.
Realizing that gender disappointment is a valid feeling, it’s important to allow yourself some time to process the change from a theoretical baby girl to a baby boy during my second embryo transfer.
At age 40, we had 6 embryos, 2 of which were euploid boys. The other 2 were aneuploid girls. While I am thankful for any euploid embryos, the reality of the gender disappointment is hitting hard.
It is truly remarkable to have two euploids from one cycle at 40, regardless of gender. I am also 40 and did not have any in my first retrieval. In my second retrieval, I will be fortunate to have just one.
I just wanted to say that I completely understand. My partner and I were really hoping for a girl, but our odds seem to lean towards boys. We have one shot at a girl, and I’m worried it won’t happen, leaving us with only boys. Gender disappointment is a real and valid feeling, even though it may seem insignificant in the bigger picture. 
I can relate to this process. Our first retrieval resulted in one boy and one girl (the girl was a day 7 embryo and of low grade). The second retrieval yielded four boys, and the third resulted in a boy and girl. After that, we decided to proceed with transfers.
I can relate to your experience, feeling a mix of happiness and sadness. I had a similar situation with a miscarriage last year, and after 7 retrievals, I am not planning to continue trying. I have 3 boys and am feeling heartbroken that I won’t have a girl. It’s a common feeling, and just know you’re not alone.
I truly appreciate everyone’s understanding. The response of “be happy with what you have” has made me emotional.
These are fantastic! I have three - two sons and a daughter.
We were accidentally informed of the genders, which was disappointing as we wanted to be surprised. I saw the first few but quickly turned away. I was hoping to forget what I saw, but it stuck with me.
It is completely normal to feel disappointed about the gender of your baby. It is okay to grieve the idea of the baby you had hoped for. While the ultimate goal is a healthy child, it is natural to have hopes and dreams that may not be met. It is okay to feel sad when things do not turn out as expected. I experienced gender disappointment with my second child, but with time I came to love being a boy mom. I focused on raising my boys to be kind and nurturing individuals. While my spouse and I are trying IVF to complete our blended family, we do not know the gender of our embryos and I may experience gender disappointment again if we have another boy. I share this to let you know that your feelings are valid and you are not alone.
Currently experiencing this situation! I always envisioned having a daughter, but our three embryos turned out to be all boys. I am finding it challenging to shift my mindset.
