I sent a follow up email to the hiring manager regarding next steps/timeline since the final interview and he replied with this:

We will be extending offers over the next couple of days. You were a top candidate.

Is he saying I was a top candidate but I wouldn’t be receiving an offer? It’s been a day since the reply and I haven’t heard anything yet. Just trying to prepare myself for the rejection even though I really wanted this job :(

UPDATE: I got the job offer 🎉

Now that I’ve stopped crying I’m trying to gain clarity on my situation. I’m looking for some perspective because I’m confused about my RE’s plan moving forward.

I’m 34 with a history of PCOS, Hashimoto’s, and hypothyroidism. Also have a high BMI of 39. My TSH was 2.0 prior to my medicated FET. My lining looked great, and my hormone levels seemed solid throughout the cycle.

I transferred one untested 5AA embryo, but my beta came back with an hCG <5 (negative).

My beta labs were:
Progesterone: 33.99 ng/mL
Estradiol: 529 pg/mL
hCG: <5

For additional history, I had two IUIs last year that both resulted in positive betas but ended as chemical pregnancies.

My RE’s only planned change for my next transfer is increasing my progesterone dose. I’m struggling to understand the reasoning because my progesterone and estrogen levels were already in a good range, and it seems like the embryo simply never implanted.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to investigate whether there’s an implantation issue or something related to the uterine environment? I’m wondering if I should ask about additional testing or suppression (Lupron, ReceptivaDx, ERA/EMMA/ALICE, hysteroscopy, immune workup, etc.), or if I’m overthinking this and one failed transfer with an untested embryo is most likely just bad embryo luck. Should I ask to thaw my 6 remaining embryos to do PGT-A testing? Idk I’m just frazzled

Got laid off from my very cushy WFH job a few weeks ago, last Friday was my official last day and I’ve been prepping for my FET day after tomorrow at the same time. I feel like most people would say this is great timing and I can stay relaxed for the FET but it’s quite the opposite. I feel like such a failure. And I’ve been interviewing since I got laid off and have another one Friday and idk I feel like I have so much on the line I’m so stressed and I feel like my FET is going to be a failure because I’m under so much duress and ugh life just really sucks. Idk why this keeps happening to me but there’s only so much I can handle on my plate and I wish I was better at handling stress. Le sigh

All of season 4 is unwatchable with how rude they are to Jules…especially the girls. Hannah is already thinking she’s hot shit because someone like Luke gave her attention but girl you brought Jules into the house, why wouldn’t you be there for her and help the other girls make connections with her? Paige is a certified mean girl and AMANDA my GOD I’m glad her true colors have been shown but she’s ridiculous. The fact that she told her she didn’t like her bc of her Jordan association and the way Amanda told her that she wasn’t in her loser ass clique. Our Chili queen Jules is so sweet and tried soooo hard all summer to get along with everyone the house and did charity work sleeping with Jordan and making out with loser Carl. I’m just so glad this season is over and can’t wait to get caught up with the new season and watch the downfall of Amanda, FINALLY!! Idk how so many people pardoned her shitty behavior in older seasons (prob bc of Kyle’s cheating) but my god she’s always been terrible.
