Infertility/IVF update: This is a raw unfiltered photo of me last week after crying for hours upon receiving some bad news. I updated all off you last month that I opted to switch my upcoming embryo transfer to a mock cycle with endometrial biopsy to gather more information before we move forward with another transfer. Well, I have another update for you. Unfortunately, I got the news last week that my endometrial sample that was taken during the second biopsy was insufficient and could not be analyzed for any results. In other words, the entire cycle (the injections, oral/vaginal pills, terrible side effects, blood draws, multiple vaginal ultrasounds, money, time) and painful biopsies were for nothing. I have to do it all over again. I was very angry and disappointed. This news compounded with the two year anniversary of us trying to conceive has been very painful. Infertility journeys can be long, lonely, sad, and exhausting. I think people often think IVF is straightforward and guaranteed. It truly isn’t. I let myself feel all the emotions that night with my supportive husband and infertility support group. The next day I already felt more at peace. It’s definitely a bummer, but it’s not the end. It’s just another road block. Another delay. I’m going to keep going and keep pushing towards my goal. One foot in front of the other. I never give up and I won’t give up. I am becoming more resilient and tenacious than I ever imagined I could be. I’m preparing for another mock cycle and will have my endometrial biopsy next month. Hopefully this gives me some answers that will bring me closer to my baby. Thank you all for the support. Sending love to all of those who are on this journey with me. You’re not alone. #ivfwarrior #ivf #ivfjourney #infertility
