The OBGYN appt went fine, I'm healing well - but grrrr.... the tissue analysis is not back yet. I adore my OBGYN so I don't blame her, I know those results sometimes take a while. She's going to call me when she gets the results, probably within the week. Bah, talk about anticlimactic.
We're both pretty sure it'll be chromosomal but she thinks unless it's the exact same problem as last time (balanced translocation on chromosome 18) that it's more of a crapshoot (egg pun intended) than something with which a geneticist could help. She did not discount my fears that stims are causing my breast cell issues, as she says that environment is a factor and I'm definitely altering the environment. But I told her our plan, if the breast surgeon thinks it's OK, to possibly do a couple more IVFs until the spring (with PGD) and if nothing happens, get a full boob workup again to make sure I didn't mess up more cells, and then move on the donor eggs. It'll be timed well with next year's tax refund, to help pay for it, so that's good at least.
I'll know alot more of where I'm going in the next few weeks after the results phone calls (miscarriage and boob) next week and STBY follow-ups with the breast surgeon and RE the week after.
More waiting, I guess. Patience is a hard-won IF virture.
I know you were hoping for some answers today. I'm so sorry that the results weren't ready - that must be incredibly difficult to swallow.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking about you tomorrow.
Oh, aren't we always waiting on something? How frustrating. Hopefully she get the results soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow!
More and more waiting! It never ends, does it? I think you have a good plan in place for your future TTC efforts. I hope you get some good (or at least not bad) news tomorrow. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are in for more waiting. I suck at it myself (patience is a virtue I do not possess). I hope that tomorrow brings some good news.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other posters - seems IFers are always waiting. Waiting, waiting, waiting!! Hope you get answers soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't hear more and that more waiting is what you got instead. I hope the doctors can find some answers. Your plan sounds great. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you didn't get the full results today and that you have to wait some more. It seems the waiting is never-ending in IF land.

Patience IS hard won, hard earned, long suffered. I'm glad you're healing well and I hope that you'll get some information about the testing soon.
