Tomorrow I have a scheduled phone call with my first IVf doctor. The one that I had 2 not so fabulous retrievals with and the one who said he would only work with me further if we went the donor egg route. He gave up on me.
Well back in December I heard from the clinic saying they still have our 2 abnormal embryos on hand. They can’t destroy them at the clinic so they have to send them out to some storage place (won’t name names) close to the east coast. I had to fill out paperwork and I told the embryologist to let Dr. Z know I had a successful ivf cycle and I now have a 6 month old baby boy. A couple weeks went by and Dr. Z called me to congratulate me. I missed his call, he left a message.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago and I get a call from the manager of the storage facility who was calling to tell me bad news. The shipping container had cracked open and the embryos had thawed. Basically killed them. I told her to not feel bad, that she should be relieved that it happened to me and not someone else since these embryos were abnormal anyways. So not to scare you all who have embryos stored somewhere, she says this NEVER has happened before. I can’t imagine if these embryos were normal, the anger I would feel. How horrible would that be?
Anyways the Dr is calling me tomorrow to talk about what happened. And I CANNOT wait to tell him all about AJ and this current miracle growing in my uterus!
