What a knock back :(

Okay so I had a phone call from the clinic to say that basically only 1 of the remaining 4 embryos made it to "almost blastocyst" so they asked me if I wanted to freeze it knowing the quality. The others just were either of poor quality or stopped dividing.

Little did I realise that the two embryos inside me were not able to be graded because they hadn't quite reached blastocyst. I burst into tears when I got off the phone with my hopes shattered. I wasn't prepared for this, I never had doubts and now I can't get excited because of this doubt. Has anyone been in this situation and had a BFP?

Aw I am sorry to hear that and agree a shock you defo didn't need. I would still freeze your one and keep believing that your two on board are made of strong stuff and will come good xxx

Thank you, yeah I'm trying to remain positive and keeping myself occupied but I guess sometimes you can't help but doubt and worry. Roll on test day so I can be put out of my misery haha x

Know what you mean I feel flat today, feels worst 2nd time round the dread and fear creeping in, just wish it was test day soon lol X

So sorry Tara, that's not what you wanted to hear Try to stay positive, you have two embies on board and they need all your energy in them, here's hoping they're tough little cookies and sticky beans!!! x x x

[Tara2016]

Thank you ladies for your support. I'm gonna try my best to keep busy and hopeful x

It's all so difficult. Hopefully your embies are bedding in, they are in the best place. It might not feel lucky but you have got a back up in the freezer.

Fingers crossed for a BFP.

Thank you, we are trying to wish these embies well x

I had 2 early blasts transferred that were unable to be graded and I got my 1st ever Bfp last month, sadly I have misscaried but it had nothing to do with them. Good luck , praying you have sticky ones on board xx

[Tara2016 in reply to daydreamer89]

Sorry to hear your embies didn't stay on board. Hope your doing okay? And thank you for sharing that is reassuring to know that ungraded embies can stick, that's what I need to hear to retain hope. My OH has low sperm and motility and I wonder whether that has something to do with the quality? X

[daydreamer89 in reply to Tara2016]

Im getting there slowly thank you 😙 My husband has exactly the same as your OH so shouldn't make a difference that's what icsi is used for lovely. Having 2 gives u a higher chance of success so try to think positive only 1 we seen on our scan so will never know which one stuck. Our next step is to see why we misscaried.

Glad it's given u a bit of hope that it actually can work with ungraded embies , take care of yourself now and no heavy lifting 😙 good luck, fingers crossed for you. Xx

[Tara2016 in reply to daydreamer89]

I hope you get to the bottom of why they did not stick as I can imagine how important that is moving forwards. Try not to self diagnose (I'm a victim of that lol). My OH said he wants to ban me from the Internet hahahaha. I've got a couple days off work and my transfer was on Saturday so here's hoping that is enough time to rest xx

[daydreamer89 in reply to Tara2016]

Yes very important to me because I think I have been doing this for a long time before the ivf so need some tests done now before we pay for our next round.

Ah I drove myself and my husband mad with 'googling' 🙈 and i still am doing it but researching other things lol such a bad habit 😞 ha

Pineapple, plenty of water, high protein diet , long walks to keep your blood circulating. Take care will check back to see how u get on 😚 x

[Tara2016 in reply to daydreamer89]

Lol yes it's definately an addiction of mine. Thanks dear will keep posted, all the best xx
