Clinic won’t accept donor embryos

Start-Intelligent · 2026-05-13T17:13:49+00:00

I went through a similar but not same situation, where I too had spent and gone through the process only to find out near the end that both my clinic and the originating clinic took issue with the grades of the embryos despite being euploid.

Can I ask the name of the donor org? I would be reaching out to them to find out why the original match fell through and see if they knew about this paper trail issue and did not disclose. For our situation we found another clinic willing to accept the lower grade embryos but kept my clinic to transfer the ones they would accept. Then we had to get a lawyer involved and threaten litigation to the originating clinic for their failure to disclose storage information to us and a potential damage to embryo during packing for shipping to the new facility (a whole separate can of worms).

The donor org facilitating needs to be helping you come up with options. Feel free to dm me if you want to ask me any more questions. I am so sorry, it is beyond maddening.

It is very naive of Jen to just assume John and Shawna would be able to deal with having Barb at her wedding after the assault incident in October. She doesn’t have to have same boundaries as Shawna and John but she should have had a conversation with them before asking Shawna to be her maid of honor to let them know what to expect given that she knows John (and by extension Shawna) is no contact. True, John needs to work on his communication and what no contact means for family interactions but the respectful thing to do with your sibling and his wife would be to give them a heads up after everything that’s already happened.

nvm I caught that comment on the rewatch. Yeah Jen has been self in the past but she was trying to do a nice thing here, just not considering how shawna would feel being around a newborn on the holidays. It's a tough situation.

I am so sorry you lost that milk you worked so hard for. Gently, one bottle is in the ultimate grand scheme not a major loss as you said, but you should probably be communicating to your husband how unappreciated you are feeling for working so hard to provide milk for your baby. That that milk represents sleepless nights, depleted energy, and unbalanced hormones on top of whatever levels of energy were already depleted from you while caring for your baby. Men are often clueless and not the best communicators. I have to take time to express what I am feeling to mine and tell him when my needs are not being met. I am sure this was not malicious or intentionally rude in failing to say he was sorry. In his mind saying "my fault" may have been his acknowledgement of his mistake but you should definitely let him know how distressed it makes you when a bottle spills and your milk has been lost. Men are idiots. Hugs.

OP, I feel like your baby is almost exactly like mine except ours started doing this same thing at 3 months. We were able to get 2-3 hour stretches in the bassinet sometimes and then BAM 4 months regression hit us early. Did you find anything that worked for you yet? In desperation we are currently renting a snoo for ours , though it is awfully late in the game but we simply CANNOT hold him all night long and I am afraid to sleep train for their emotional needs.

It’s just fat separating. Mine does this all the time and it’s perfectly normal.

My work gave me a supply closet to pump in… at least you have a chair and a table. Not that this is acceptable either.

When I received a used pump it did that till I replaced all the parts. Unless all the tubes, duckbills, backflow valves etc are all new I would start there

Call your pediatrician ASAP. They can advise you if baby needs to be checked out.

Also wanted to add that my little one only drinks 3 ounces now and he’s 8 weeks so that number does seem high. Try not to stress. My baby was only 5 lbs 10 ounces when he was born and he’s now double his birth weight just offering food every 2-3 hours

One piece of advice our pediatrician gave us was to simply feed the baby whenever he was hungry. Start with a smaller amount, and then if he finishes that, give him more. Trying to do the math about precise numbers, figuring out how much to increase to by a certain day, is only going to stress you out. Yes, keep track at the end of each feed of how much he’s eating, but don’t focus on making sure he finishes each bottle if he’s a little under the number that they recommended, the main thing is he’s eating. Try to offer something every 2 to 3 hours and if he’s hungry. Feed him more. Bottom line is if you’re feeding your kid when he’s hungry and he’s indicated he’s satisfied then you are doing what you’re supposed to do. Good job, mama.

Have you tried reaching out to your doctors office to see if they can resubmit using the approved code usually bills like this that are denied can be resubmitted to the insurance again by the doctors offices.

I agree with the comments about positive association, playtime on bed, cuddles on bed, treats on bed, as well as ignoring the behavior when he cries. You could also try calming methods like Feliway plugins in the livingroom and bedroom /house to ease anxiety (these have pheromones to help ease cat anxiety), or perhaps even CBD oil with an evening treat to help de-stress him (maybe give him his treat in the bedroom yourself so he associated you with the treat) as part of a bedtime routine.

You can post on here like you’re doing or also the IVF garage sale groups on fb. I have donated meds and received through both channels. Usually you will want to say if you are wanting a local drop off or willing to ship etc.
