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!

What a lovely and inspiring post. It's so easy to get into our heads that only perfect embryos turn into healthy children. Your story is certainly an eye opener. Huge congratulations and sorry you had to go through all the worry without reason.
Big congratulations she's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for the lovely post, it's great to hear that there can be a perfect ending to this long, often tricky journey Enjoy every minute with her xx
Wow that is such a heart felt account of events. Words are simply not enough to say how pleased I am to read such a wonderful outcome. May this be the start of a beautiful journey, may you continue to be blessed. Me and my wife are in the process of going through treatment and hope to start my mid Oct/November time.
It's reading things like this that give us all hope. She is beautiful beyond any words. Treasure every moment.
Wishing you all the best. This is not me T to come across as a personal plug of marketing but if your based in london, I'm a photographer, and would love nothing more than to capture these memories fur you
This is a wonderful story of hope and your daughter is beautiful! Congratulations and thank you for posting. We all need stories like yours to help us stay positive on this difficult and emotional journey. I'm currently in the first trimester stage and just like you were, I am cautiously hopeful. Your story means a lot to me. Thank you.
Thankyou just what I needed to hear to cheer me along the journey
I know this is a bit of a late reply but I just wanted to say I loved your message and huge congratulations. I am having a bit of a wobble today as about to embark on a third cycle shortly so nerves are a little frayed but your message has given me a little bit of hope xx
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. It is so nice to hear stories like yours. It helps people like me that have 1 frozen embryo left which is a cb and I was worrying but after hearing your story I feel more reassured. Thank you x
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.
Hi Fields_of_Roses im not far behind you, transfer on 5th October and test on Saturday 16th. Good luck to us both. I'm not feeling confident at all, even tho it was a tested embryo xxx
