Sorry to hear this Hun. Hope you're keeping your chin up & still thinking positively. It's always hard having any knock back. Glad this forum is here to vent sometimes as no one understands the whole stresses of fertility unless they are in the process themselves. X

I agree having everybodys support on this site is really helpful as u say people who are not in our situation dont iunderstand how we feel.x

hi, focus on the embryo inside you, its the only thing at the moment. i never had any embryos to freeze, but got a successful outcome. freezing embryos is a bonus of the treatment, not a given, and there are known fertility issues with you, and perhaps undiagnosed issues as well which can impact on embryo freezing as the standards for this are very high.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that but this just happened to a friend of mine who is now pregnant from her one and only egg/embryo.

If you don't mind me asking, how many follicles / eggs / embryos did you get?

in reply toKatrina13

Hi maccerpops

Congrats to your friend.. I had 11 eggs.. 8 fertilised.. I then had 1 grade A transferred and they gave to embryos an extra couple of days to mature but they wouldnt have servived the thawing. . :-)

one is all it takes as everyone has said so keeping everything crossed for you ! Keep on the positive vibes hun ! X

Hey like everyone else said it's the one inside you should focus on, 4 days will feel like an eternity but here is hoping for a positive result for you Hun! And if it's any consolation every cycle of ivf is different a friend of mine had her first ivf and no embryos to freeze then the second time round she had two to freeze and is currently 5 days off her test! So literally a flip of a coin as my consultant put it! Keep positive x x

Hi Sum1sweeta. So sorry to hear that your other little embies did not survive. However, we must focus on the positive – your young age, and the fact that you do have one little one hopefully “bedding in”. Keeping everything crossed for your result. Diane

Thanks diane I hope so.. I stupidly did a test on day 8 which came back negative.. I got so upset.. im hoping sun will be positive. . If not ill have to save up.. only got 1 nhs funding postcode lottery.

I was having painful cramps last night so dont know if thats a bad sign x

Oh, it's so tempting to test early. I hope that the cramps are just down to your ovaries settling and that all goes well for Sunday. Diane

Hi there

On my last donation i produced 7 eggs ... one was used and that was successful and the couple had one frozen embryo left. They used this embryo 2 years later and that was successful too.

I was worried at the the low amount of eggs as this was the lowest amount i had from the 3 donations ... its quality and not quantity.

Stay positive and send lots of positive vibes to the little one xxx
