grammarwomanWe met with Dr. Asshat this afternoon for our scheduled followup. I may have to back off his epithet to Dr. Adequate, because he didn't keep us waiting for more than a few minutes, and he actually took the time to read my file beforehand and show some sympathy for what happened.
The news isn't good. The lab marked all three retrieved eggs as PQ (poor quality), with the likelihood to only get worse. The doc estimates our chances of conceiving at this point between 1 and 5%. He basically pleaded with me not to try IVF again with my eggs.
My insurance will cover only one more round of IVF. The doc thinks our chances could be as high as 60% with a donor egg, but we don't know how much extra it will cost for donated eggs. I am so conflicted right now that I can barely think straight.
The dishes, laundry, and all other responsible adulting can fuck right the hell off tonight. I'm going to curl up for a bit with some wine and Seanan McGuire's "Chimes at Midnight" (to catch up before I dive into her latest). Tomorrow me might be able to cope better with handling anything else.
