Disappointing news today

We had our viability scan today. The rules wouldn’t allow my husband to be present because of COVID-19, but they said I could FaceTime during the appointment.

I knew when my doctor was silent for a long time, and didn’t turn the ultrasound screen my direction immediately that something wasn’t right.

We transferred three embryos in June. One 3AA blast, and two 5-day morulas that weren’t doing great in the lab 🧫. My beta results at 14dpt were solid: 2636! They didn’t even bother having me check they were doubling since they were so high. I felt confident and optimistic.

Back to today.

Only one embryo implanted, and it’s not doing well. It’s measuring over a week behind and is abnormally shaped. The heartbeat was too faint and sporadic to be measured or heard.

The doctor expects I will miscarry or have a missed miscarriage within the next week or so, but that there’s a very slim possibility the baby could pull through.

We have a follow up ultrasound next week to find out. They are allowing my husband in the room for that one, so you know the expectations are low for a miracle.

Praying for everyone else on this journey to have good news and great success! ❤️🙏🏻🤞🏻🍀
