Embryo update

Well, phoned the clinic and found out that 2 embryos survived to freezing stage....I sincerely hope they gave them fur coats!!

In all seriousness, not exactly joyous news in regards to their stages....1 embryo reached 2 cells and categorised as a type D embryo and the other faired only a bit better with 3 cell stage, category c....I have no idea of what they are but all the embryologist could say was....we have had pregnancies from those types of embryos before, so not all hope is lost, she is not sitting in the darkest of hells like I am at the moment.

Seriously considering DHEA to try and get a better outcome the next time around...anyone know of a decent brand to investigate?

Oh hun. Two in the freezer is still two in the freezer. Assume you've read it starts with the egg already? I'll DM you re DHEA. It does need three months to work though. Chin up, buttercup. You guys can do this! (And I do understand - last cycle I was so excited with my 15 follicles and we got just 4 viable eggs 😢 of which just two fertilised 😭 to go back. It was so hard to be positive after that. But you will bounce back in time. Just be kind to yourself.) xxx
