Had my egg transfer and out of 8 only 2 had developed but were poor quality so tgutted, the 2 left 1 was a 4 cell and one a 6 cell and not great quality, none to freeze either, they put 2 back and tried to reassure me they could still develop but I've just lost all hope now, I've been trying to stay positive but if these don't work I have none to use from frozen so will have to start from scratch and pay full price. I'm devastated and feel so low about it all. Im trying to keep the faith but just feel hopeless 😭 Xx

My seven year old nephew is from 2 poor quality eggs that were put back on day 3. He certainly doesn't look poor quality now - lively and bursting with energy!! It can happen - I know it's hard but try to stay positive. Xxx
I think this happens more than you think. Im incubating two poor quality at the minute. Im still positive, you have a chance like i do! My friend was in same position and now has a 10 yr old plus 2 naturals followed. Take it a stage at a time, easier said than done x
Hi Veekay80. Years ago we only ever transferred 4-8 cell embryos, as there was no blastocyst transfers then. 30% in lots of cases took hold, and were successful! Yours are back where they belong, inside you. Wishing you every success. Diane
Try to keep positive - I've heard lots of stories of BFP from 'poorer' quality embryos. I personally don't think the quality has a lot to do with it anymore. Good luck for the 2ww x
Hi, I have had 2 fresh rounds as I only ended up with 2 to put back. 1st go they were both only 4cells and the same this time. The 2nd go got us a BFP and I am currently 5wks! Easier said than done, but don't get hung up on how many cells and which day they put them back in. I lost hope after 1st go, thinking my eggs must be too poor, but now I know it is possible! Wish u all the luck in the world 🍀xx
My 15month year old is from 2 poor quality eggs going back! One couldn't even be graded and the other was a 3BC!! Please don't lose hope! Just ensure you are being as healthy as you can and give them an environment that they want to stick to.. I had lots of Brazil nuts, avocados and keep my feet warm.. warm feet warm womb apparently! Good luck xx
Ah Hun, I know too well how you feel, I'm so sorry to hear your news. But as the ladies say, you never know, it could all work out for you. Try to keep yourself busy sweetheart. Xx
Good luck hun. Hope all goes well from the looks of things the others have wrote your still in for a good chance. Sorry I know nothing about this. I'm wishing you all the best xx
Loving all the positive outcomes, try not to stress, I'm keeping everything crossed for you! 💐 xxxx
Fingers crossed for you! Mother Nature does crazy and miraculous things and babies have definitely resulted from so-called 'poor' embryos. Hang in there, it is not over yet xxx
I'm really sorry Sweets. This is similar to my last round. It's really hard to drum up some positivity but do try. You never know. There are some positive stories from situations like this and just because there are negative ones too it doesn't mean yours will be. I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed. Sending a big hug. xxx
I know it's tough as I was similar on my first round sadly a bfn but there are loads of stories of bfp from here..please try and keep the faith..they are home where they belong xxx
Keeping everything crossed for you.. Sometimes I think it would be better if they don't tell you the grade... as lots of people get BFP's but the worry of being told the grade causes lots of extra worry for the person. Be positive you still have evry chance xxxx Thinking of you. Good luck! Xxx
Hey don't give up. You only need one! They wouldn't have transferred unless they thought they had a chance surely? What day did they transfer? I had 6 eggs collected and only 2 fertilised. Yesterday we had one 5 day blastocyst transferred (they didn't actually tell us the grade) but they said the other one wasn't as far along so they advised us not to transfer and give it another 24hrs then they will decide today if it can be frozen. I'm a bit confused why they couldn't just transfer as surely better chance to develop in my womb than a dish but I guess they know what they are doing.
When will you find out? Be strong and try to stay positive! What's meant to be will be! x
Update...Just heard that our other embryo didn't make it. The one we had transferred yesterday was apparently a 4BC which is average quality.
I know it's hard but, do try to stay positive. My friend had 2 low-quality eggs but back in, and she now has 8-month-old twins! Wishing you lots of luck x
This is not bad news! You have come on a very difficult long journey and you have achieved the final hurdle xxx Now it time for the 2ww. I had 10 eggs collected and 8 were mature. I thought brilliant this is going to give me some for fresh transfer and some for freeze surely. But day after fertilization only 1 had fertilized. We had that little one transferred with non to freeze and having paid for the full round. I am now 10 weeks pregnant. It really can happen please don't feel down or sad xxx
Thank you, that's really restored my faith , good luck to you xx
Don't believe what the medical report says God has the final say can make impossibility to be possible, just believe u carrying ur twins and have faith in him.
Fingers crossed for you. As the other ladies have said there are plenty of stories of poorer quality embryos fertilising so stay positive and look after yourself for the next couple of weeks x
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your kind words and support, you have lifted me up and made me feel so much positive. will carry on with the positive vibe and affirmations , I am sending positivity to the universe and hopefully I will get it back, I will continue to do what I can and take care of myself and eat healthy etc that's all I can do, the rest is out of my hands xx
I honestly wish all the best for all of you and am sending you strength and positive vibes for your own journeys, you are tougher than you know xx
I have to say I also think there is far too much focus on quality of embryos. I never found out what mine was when I had it transferred. I didn't want to know, I just wanted my Emby to know that I loved it unconditionally and gave it all the love I could once I had it back where it belonged. That is more important than anything. Stay positive you can do this xxx
