Inconceivable — Injections

Well, that was fast. Much faster than we expected. Q is for quickly. I emailed our nurse coordinator on Monday (the 25th) to let her know we are ready for this break to be over. After transferring 2 PGS normal, 5AA and 6AA embryos (basically perfect), and having both fail to implant, we are looking for some answers.
