When women get older, the chromosomes in the eggs age as well. It comes to the genetic stuff. I'm sure not me having genetic problem because I got tested. Now my hubby is wondering whether him or not.? Well, it doesn't matter to me whoever has the problem because getting pregnant needs 2 people.
We discussed for the next cycle of IVF, at first we wanted to tell the doctor that we want to do assisted hatching (thin outer shell of the embryo) at the day 3 of embryo, that way might help implantation even though no proof about doing it. Anyway, deep down on my mind, I wanted to do the day 5 of embryo or blastocyst like we did the last cycle, I felt that was very close. He explained that I had early miscarriage which is normal in the IVF. He also said that my body always have a good response to the medication, he suggested to do the blastocyst again. So we both agreed on that. Anyway, it is depending on how my body response to the medication, the quality of the eggs.
Something new today from the meeting, he suggested us to think about more options for having a baby, something like not our own genetic. He suggested 3 options :
# Egg Donor which is cost approximately $ 40, 000. i was joking that it costs same as my car. This option, is my husband's genetic but not mine. I don't mind if i carry my own pregnancy and the baby is going to eat with me during that time. We have to work with the agency for this matter for checking like picking a girl , checking her if she is candidate for us.
# Frozen eggs , this option is cheaper but we can't be too picky.
# Frozen embryos, This option is none of us genetic but in my opinion still better than adopt toddler. Well, none of these option guarantee that I will get pregnant if i do one of them.!

I have never thought that we are coming to this point. Anyway, I still have a hope for this cycle. However, adoption is not my option at all, I like to carry the pregnancy by myself. I hope my husband understand, look like he does.
We are waiting for me to get my period then we will be doing our next cycle, same old thing as the previous one. I hope this is not the end of trying on my own.
If i have to go for one of those options that the doctor offered, I need to get my mind ready for that matter! I like to do so many things if I can't have baby. Do I really need to do this? I do this for myself or my husband? or for both of us?, I still wonder sometimes. May be i never meant to be a mom, then I want to focus on my career.
Life is so much exciting! So many things to see and explore, to learn and to enjoy! I can't just stuck on this kind of this treatment for ever!! I want to do so many things before i get too old!!
