FET day & "The call"

[Oakey80]

Soooo just had "the call" from the embryologist to discuss ET which is happening today. They've been growing my 3 x 2d embies to 5d blastocysts this week.

They said out of the 3, 2 of them are suitable but neither is what they would call perfect. Although both were still good (they didn't give grades and I didn't ask!)....so they said they would like to transfer 1....

Cue silence from my end...my brain froze and my heart stopped. 1?? And it's not perfect??? Was all I could think.

Before I knew it my brain had engaged (after an uncomfortable silence) and I went on to explain we were hoping for 2....especially as they weren't "perfect". I also said it's our last nhs funded go and that we'd missed the 3 x funded goes by 10 days when they changed it to 1 last October. I also pointed out that I'm 37 in a few months which is their cutover for automatically allowing 2 embie transfers.

Anyway, whatever I said, it worked! As I'm now getting both back (yay me...high five!) I'm so happy as it's exactly what I wanted (and what I've been worrying about)

The fact only 2 survived to blastocyst is also music to my ears (weirdly) As when they were telling me all were looking great this week, I was thinking, why didn't our 2dt work last time? Maybe it's me?!...but just goes to show the last embie must have been dodgy as it didn't even implant.

Bring on the 2ww crazies wahoo!!!...and good luck to all those in lala land with me xxx

Great news hun! Well done for getting what you wanted! We were the second on 2 made it to 5 days & weren't perfect either so had both put back - would feel like such a waste if hadn't a as they weren't suitable to freeze Xxxx​

I'm so pleased with myself for speaking up as I'm usually one of those people that don't like to cause a "fuss" This was too important not to challenge though....I half expected to come across as a crazy lady waffling away but I somehow managed to stay calm haha (and save my crazy rants for this site!) We still got 2 x blastocysts in the freezer that they grew last time too 😄...I'm so excited I can't do any work (supposed to be working from home!)

I hope others read this and take heart that you can challenge the clinics decision and have a positive outcome!

Wishing you all the luck in the world!!! 🌍🍀🌍🍀

You should be pleased hun! I'm usually like that too - not causing a fuss. Sometimes some things are too important not to!

Glad you have more frosties too (just in case)

Thank you for your well wishes - not long until test day now 4½ days to go...going slightly crazy now & brain in overdrive!! Xxx

Well done you 😘 Sometimes we do know best and have to back our gut feeling and not take no as an answer. Hope the embryos find a nice home for 9 months xoxo

Thanks! I don't know if it's just the progesterone but I'm feeling strangely emotional now which I didn't before my 1st transfer. I was convinced the 1st one wouldn't work and I was right....I've always felt, even before we started, it would be a double fet that would work for me...so let's see what happens! 🙄❤🍀

[Hidden]

I have everything crossed for you. I've have read many success stories with fet- much less pressure on the body- so the body can concentrate and do its thing. xoxo

Well done you for speaking up. Don't want to let any embie slip through the net. Good luck x

Good luck waiting for 14 days haha

I am going crazy already, it is still 3 days to go and I am can't make myself sit still for a minute just because I am too nervous.

Fingers crossed love

Yay...go you! Welcome to the 2WW! 2dp5dt....where are my symptoms?! Hahaha! Welcome to the crazy thoughts! X

[Oakey80 in reply to Sunbeam123]

Thanks...not long back from transfer and it all went perfectly. Can't believe I have two gorgeous embies all tucked up in me right now....I already feel different lol! Whens your OTD? Mines a week Monday so doesn't seem too long at all xx

[Sunbeam123 in reply to Oakey80]

Mines next Thursday but we're testing Tuesday at home I think! Keep those positive thoughts!!! 👍🏻 x
