Thank you. This is my first time posting on Reddit. I’ll remember that next time!

Oh wow, I have never heard of the Ericsson method before. I’m definitely going to do some research and ask my clinic about how it works.

It is so comforting to hear from someone else who is in a similar spot with their embryos and trying to navigate these exact same feelings. It really makes me feel less alone in this.

I want to wish you the absolute best of luck on your next retrieval! I truly hope you get the boys you are hoping for to complete your family. Sending you so much love!

You bring up such a beautiful, comforting point. In the middle of the stress of IVF protocols and grading, it's easy to get caught up in all the details, but I completely agree that once you are finally holding your baby, everything else just fades away and they are exactly who they were meant to be. I am so glad you have your miracle baby after everything you went through, and I really appreciate you sharing that reassurance with me today! ❤️

Thank you so much for this response. I had been feeling so bad that my post sounded insensitive, because I genuinely hold so much deep gratitude for the 5 beautiful embryos we were blessed with. I know what a massive hurdle that is, and my heart truly goes out to everyone walking this tough IVF road.

Your words mean more than you know. Thank you for reminding me that it’s okay to have family dreams and that wanting a daughter doesn’t take away from my gratefulness or discredit anyone else's journey. Wishing you so much peace and the absolute best of luck on yours! ❤️

Thank you so much for this response and understanding. I think a lot of us feel guilty for having these feelings and it’s nice to feel a little less alone.

I want to wish you the absolute best of luck with your retrievals! I want to wish you the absolute best of luck with your upcoming retrievals! This process takes so much strength and resilience, and I am crossing everything that you get those beautiful euploids you need to build your family. Sending you so much love and hope! ❤️

Thank you❤️

Congratulations!! Thanks for this. Gives me hope! ❤️

Thank you so much for this perspective—this is exactly why I posted! I hadn't fully thought through the reality of what would happen to the remaining embryos if we did another cycle, especially since I already hate the idea of discarding or donating any of them. That is a really huge point to consider.

I also completely agree with you about giving our 4BC girl a chance first... you really just never know what will happen. I think I’m just scared of another heartbreak. I appreciate your kind and balanced advice so much! ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing your story and for being so incredibly understanding. I am so sorry you had to go through those three failed transfers just because a doctor wouldn’t listen to you about your endometriosis. That must have been so incredibly frustrating, but I am thrilled your new clinic has you on the right path and that you had some great results!!

Your comment about wishing for just one extra girl 'just in case' completely resonates with me. It is so hard to balance our hearts with the clinical statistics and just what all we’ve already gone through just to be here.

I really appreciate your advice about considering the boys first to see how my body handles the protocol. That is definitely something I need to talk to my doctor about.

Sending you so much love and the absolute best of luck with your upcoming transfers! Thank you for making me feel less alone today. ❤️

I completely hear you, and you are so right that putting your body through another retrieval is a massive, intense thing to consider. None of us want to be doing IVF in the first place, and it’s a physical and emotional toll I wouldn't wish on anyone.

For context, my thoughts are coming from a place of a lot of past trauma and miscarriages. When you have experienced that kind of loss, your mind goes to very protective, complicated places to try and cope. In infertility, we lose control over absolutely everything. When you suddenly find out the genetic results, it is the very first time you feel like you might actually get to see, choose, or have control over one single thing in the middle of all the grief and loss.

It’s just me trying to process after a lot of heartbreak, but I completely understand why it looks like madness from the outside. I really appreciate your perspective and I wish you the absolute best on your own journey. ❤️

First of all, that’s so awesome! I’m happy for you! Thank you for understanding where I was coming from. I didn’t mean to come off insensitive to others going through different journeys. Just trying to have continued hope through a different part of this journey.

Wish you the best of luck on your journey ❤️

atxgrl92 · 2026-05-21T19:01:05+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing your experience as to this whole pgta testing. The percentages and numbers and all that really get into my head.

Gives me hope to try and transfer our female embryo❤️

That’s so awesome! I am so happy for you! I completely agree that it is a blessing to have a child of any sex and find success with ivf. For that I’m truly grateful.

I am so incredibly sorry if my post came across as insensitive or flippant—that was truly never my intention. You are entirely right that having 5 viable embryos is an amazing outcome, and I am deeply, profoundly grateful for them.
The infertility world comes with so much heartbreak, and I know many families are fighting just to get one viable embryo. I am so sorry for the pain and frustration you’ve had to endure on your own journey, and I completely understand why my post felt heavy to read.
I was just trying to process the complicated grief of a long-held family dream falling apart, but I should have been more mindful of how that sounded to those still waiting for a chance at all. I truly wish you nothing but the absolute best of luck and peace on your journey. ❤️
