I'm so sorry to hear you've got the same bad luck. We did a consult and are actually reversing course back down to injectibles and TI or IUI. Basically the dr, who I really trust, said given all my stats and other history (i've worked with him in the past successfully), I have pretty similar chances with injectibles and TI than another big round of IVF, freeze all, PGT, FET, all out of pocket. The 2 IVF cycles we did gave him info that pretty much everything is working, although obviously in the end it is not getting to the end baby! We can likely afford 5+ rounds of injectibles and TI for the cost of 1 IVF out of pocket that might still not work. He said for us having more chances to throw darts at the board is better than 1. I'm hopeful, I was glad to hear I don't have to keep throwing money at IVF, but it's also not great because it means IVF which is so wonderful for many people doesn't seem that wonderful for us, and there are only so many things you can try.

GOOD LUCK!

I'm sorry, OP. I'm in a similar situation - 2 PGS-normal embryos with no baby.

Damn. I'm so sorry OP.

OP. Unfortunately the 9dp5dt hpt was negative, and they confirmed this morning that my bloodwork shows the same. Major bummer, as now we have two fails with PGS normal embryos, although the first at least was positive for a week, but that doesn't get you a baby! We'll do a consult follow up, last time the Dr didn't recommend any changes and thought it was bad luck and a bad embryo even with the PGS normal tagging, but I'm not sure if twice is bad luck or not. Never know, which is what is so hard! Thanks for the support through this, this board can be very kind!
