The News I Didn't Wanted To HEAR...

So, I got the results back from the PGT-A test we did on the embryo, and I honestly didn’t think it would turn out the way it did.

I knew there was always a chance something could be off genetically, but I think I was holding onto a quiet hope that things would come back normal, or at least mosaic, something manageable. Instead, the report came back saying the embryo is "complex abnormal," which apparently means there are multiple chromosomal abnormalities—more than just one or two.

Hearing that word—“complex”—felt like getting hit in the chest. I didn’t even know what to say at first. I’ve been reading and re-reading the report, trying to understand what each piece means, but honestly, it’s overwhelming. I didn’t expect to feel this level of sadness.

I guess I hadn’t fully let myself imagine the possibility that the embryo wouldn’t be viable.
