WTF follow-up

We had our WTF appointment today, and it was exactly what I thought....we have no answers, but a lot of options to discuss.

Pretty much they said they have no clue why it didn't work, and there are a few elimination tests they can do, but if those come back fine then they have no answers at all. They said our next steps were to:
  1. do more testing -about $3K for all of it
  2. do an FET with our frosties (before or after testing) -about $2.5K
  3. do a fresh cycle (strongly suggest testing before) -about $8K
What really sucks here is that money will be a huge factor in our decision, since we have none. Right now Greg and I are both leaning toward doing the FET w/o the testing. They did say they have one of the best thaw rates in the country and that the FET stats are pretty much the same for a fresh IVF.

We are going to think about it a while longer and talk to our IVF nurse again. Ugh, this just plain sucks. I wish we were pg instead of discussing next steps.

Oh, and our furry baby Fiona has to have both of her front feet splinted b/c she torn tendons in both her legs:( That is gonna cost about $800....but hopefully she will feel better.

Sorry to hear about your furbaby's legs, that's no fun! I hope she gets better fast!
I'm sorry you have to be thinking about what your next steps are instead of being pregnant. I wish I could just snap my fingers and make things how they should be, but I can't. Thinking of you!

I'm so sorry your furbaby is injured on top of everything else. I so wish you didn't have to make these decisions becasue you were PG too. Good luck to you in making them. ((HUGS))

I'm sorry that you didn't get clear answers or better options. *sigh*

Hope your fur baby is feeling better soon.

Sorry about Fiona, that is too bad...I hope she gets some relief from the splints.

I wish you were pg too - gl with the decision.

Ugh, so frustrating! I know how awful it feels to have money have to be a factor in these decisions - so unfair. What protocol were you on? If you want to chat, email me at j_lawless@comcast.net.

Thinking of you (and Fiona)!!
