Dec 8 finally
Finally had my re follow up today. I was there on time and I was pretty nervous going in. The nurse that did the intake was new and I asked if our karyotyping was in and she said yes. So I spent the next hour nervously awaiting the re. He finally came in and we started talking, he checked for the karyotyping and nothing. He called the nurse in and they figured out the results werent actually there. The nurse made a call to the lab and they said they would be signing out on them in a week. Let's talk for a moment about the inefficiencies of the system. It's been 6 months since we did these tests 6 MONTHS!!! In reality it takes only 5 days to do the actual test. Our blood has been sitting in some freezer or whatever for 6 MONTHS waiting for a test that takes a few days. To top it all off it looks like we didn't even really need too bother.
I've been thinking about the RPL dx a lot in the last 3 months and that how it really doesnt fit my situation. Yes I have had 3 losses but I dont count G as part of the RPL, my two first tri losses were like 4+ years apart with 2 live births in there. My RE for some reason thought I had had 5 losses. So my refresher on the history cleared me of RPL and all the talk of pgs and New Jersey. Dr M said there is only 3% chance karyotyping will come up with anything butto still call next week for results. Sigh....
But the good news is we are on track for IVF in January! Which was my plan 3 months ago anyways so I am not too upset about this unintentional delay. The break has been good for me.....I think.
I do know ivf will be our last resort. I am ready to be done ttc. It has consumed my life far room much.
My clinic has about a 60% success rate for someone of my age and disorder (pcos). My re did suggest a double transfer I did express my concerns about this....but their sET rates are only about 4O%. He also mentioned their two rate was the second highest in the country second to the only other clinic in this province. Apparently this is a bone of contention with the government but if they refuse to pick up the costs of if treatments then this is going to be the reality. Its all about the $$. I did stress to dr M how much I dont want twins.
I got home Internet modem was down. Spent a hour on hold with my ISP who quickly fixed the problem. I logged into fb and the first thing in my news feed preggo neighbour announcing her pregnancy...barf...they got to hear the heartbeat today for the first time. It is only here that I can say I felt no joy for them only envy :(

I have everything crossed for you and your upcoming treatment!!! I know you're in good hands, have nothing but the highest regard for Dr. M!
Keeping my fingers crossed that the IVF in January works. We are heading towards an IUI with an IVF in the future if IUI doesn't work. We had the karyotyping too and it only took about 4 weeks to come back. That sucks that you've had to wait for so long, but I'm glad that it didn't delay IVF.
Glo, I am glad that the clinic is moving things forward for you and that that the having to do PGS is off the table.
A double transfer seems scary to me too , especially since one of the other moms I met while in the hospital was carrying triplets (a girl and identical twin boys) that started off as a double transfer. Go with your gut on what you should do.
I will have everything crossed for you next month and if you want some baby dust from Thing3, just let me know.
