Yesterday, my heart was broken not because of the election, but because of the 6 eggs retrieved… all are gone. Not a single embryo made it past 10 cells. Two arrested at 4 cells, two at 6 cells. Two were hanging on yesterday as 10cells… But they should have been over 100-celled blastocysts.
They’ll still monitor these two 10-cells for another day, but their chances are bleak. We were told to fear the worst. We’ll get a final word later today or tomorrow.
Our journey isn’t over… but we’ve reached a dead end. Time to go back the way we came, look at the map, and figure out a new direction. There’s a larger problem here that we need to address before trying again.
