Success with a 2CB embryo

After four years of infertility, failed IVF fresh and frozen cycles, I am back to fulfill a vow that if my little 2CB embryo worked I would post about it somewhere to give someone else some hope. I scoured the internet for stories of success with a 2CB at the time of my cycle and I found only one.

My RE didn't rate our chances, he counselled that our little embryo would likely end in a chemical pregnancy, an empty sac or a miscarriage. I clung to that story.

When we got the positive pregnancy test our hearts leapt cautiously and we waited and waited for that first scan...not even daring to look at the picture in case we were faced with an empty sac but against the odds there was a feisty little heart beat! Next we crawled our way through the first trimester, braced for the miscarriage we'd been warned of and you know what he was wrong! Our little 2CB went full term and turned into a perfect little girl. She is healthy and gorgeous!

So if you're out there like me searching for a success story to give you hope, here it is. Some 2CBs work out just beautifully. Good luck!

Now 6 and still feisty! I went on to have a second child from this same batch of unlikely embryos. He is so ridiculously energetic and fit that I joke that he gained super powers in the freezer.

Wow! Congratulations….Thank you so much for sharing. This has given me so much hope. I have one last remaining BC in the freezer and have been feeling so negative about it. After reading your post I feel like perhaps I do have a chance. Thank you

I don’t remember what grading my son had but my daughter (2CB) was the ‘best’ of the batch so he must have been lower. I did not think he would work but he implanted right away! I wish you lots of luck.

Thank you for sharing this, as it has encouraged me immensely. I had a 2cb transferred on the 4th and I am one nervous wreck waiting till I can test on the 15th. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed and praying that it thrives.

Love to your gorgeous, fiesty little ones.
