10. The Update We Wish Wasn't - Part Four

Ashley & Brooks McMahon

In this final full update of round four, we dive into the emotional aftermath of receiving our PGT results. The news wasn't just that our embryo was abnormal; it felt like a crushing halt to our dreams of expanding our family. The past four months of effort, anticipation, and sacrifice seemed wasted, leaving us back at square one and grappling with the disappointment. We discuss the struggle of navigating appointments, feeling invalidated, and the exhaustion of having our lives on hold. Addressing questions about our persistence for a second child and contemplating a potential round 5, we share our mixed feelings and the uncertain path ahead. Despite not wanting our podcast to focus solely on this journey, we hope sharing our experiences in real-time has been valuable to our listeners. Thank you for your unwavering support.
