Mourning loss of embryo
Just wondering if this is normal. We did PGS but still had a fresh transfer. I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant with Embryo 1 (!), and we froze numbers 3 and 5. Embryos 2, 4, and 6 didn't make it to day 5. The embryologist just called with PGS results and said Embryos 1 and 3 are normal, but Embryo 5 is not. She said it is missing a chromosome and is not viable and cannot be transferred. Now I'm supposed to come in an sign a release for it to be discarded. 😞
I know the embryos are not even babies yet...but they are my potential babies. And I had this hope that I could possibly have 3 children someday. Or 2, if one doesn't implant when we do FET. So I feel a loss. We are not able to do the whole <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> process again, so this was our one shot. I just wonder if it's normal to feel a sense of loss and if you need to mourn an embryo that didn't make it. It is such a strange feeling to think that your whole family is mapped out and frozen for you for the future, and now your potential family size has decreased by one. It is strange to know this much...
