Transfer day!

[gemmy999]

Hi, I’ve just had a nice early morning call. The embryologist has called, our 2 little embies are really good with an 8 cell and 11 cell. The only thing is they want to transfer today, day 3 instead of day 5 as there are only two and due to my age! It’s their policy and although we could go against their advice we’re to scared to in case we lose them! So transfer at midday 😄 they are putting both back. anyone else had this situation? I read day 5 is a higher chance of success. X

Hello! This sounds really positive to me. You are a better incubator than the lab and if they’d be putting them back in at 5 days there is now no benefit for them being in the lab. The lab is to watch them to select the best embryo which they have done. Very exciting I hope it all goes really well for you xxx

[gemmy999 in reply to Elizabeth86]

Hi Elizabeth86, thank you for that info. I had just read that it was to help pick the best so as you say they’ve done that for us and we’re having both in. Having both makes me feel better and I don’t mind twins!! Being 39!! X

Best of luck with your ET today. I’ve always had a day three transfer due to low embryo numbers. Best place for them is back in your uterus 🤞🏻🤞🏻xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Dunla]

Thank you Dunla. Xx 🤞🏻

When do you hear? Xx

[lianm8 in reply to gemmy999]

I’m booked in for transfer on Wednesday at 2pm but they will ring tomorrow with another update xxx

Hi gemmy, that's great to hear your two are still growing strong. It's a tough call on the transfer, I would just go with your instinct. We only went to 5 as we've had several miscarriages and I just wanted to cut out a tiny bit of uncertainty at the start of the 2ww. I hope the transfer goes well for you. They will show them on the screen before they go in which is amazing

[gemmy999 in reply to Caroliono4]

Thanks for your thoughts. We can’t really go wrong by going with their advice I guess. First time, not sure it gets any easier from reading on here! So nervous. Hope we can get a picture. X

[Caroliono4 in reply to gemmy999]

The doctor and nurses will do all they can to help with your nerves and the procedure only takes about 5 minutes. It helped me to look at the ultrasound while the procedure was happening rather than concentrate on what the doctor was doing at the other end! x

[gemmy999 in reply to Caroliono4]

Hi, thank your for your advice. Can I then carry on as normal today like going for a walk or do they say rest? X

[Caroliono4 in reply to gemmy999]

Just carry on as normal! Anything to take your mind off it We're heading out for a walk later x

[gemmy999 in reply to Caroliono4]

Ok thank you. X

[Aleelilook]

Thank you 🤞🏻 xx

[Buisquits]

Thats great news! Good luck 💓

[gemmy999 in reply to Buisquits]

Thank you xx

The only reason that day 5 embryos "have better success" is they have picked they have picked the front runner to put back from a bundle....they don't actually have a better chance from being transferred on day 5. Trust in your body too look after these two in their natural environment and don't worry, your clinic is doing the right thing. Wishing you luck and hope transfer goes Well!xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you so much. I’m feeling better about it now. Positive thoughts 🤞🏻 xx

[Dreamingofbaby]

Thank you. So nervous already! Xx

[Tugsgirl in reply to gemmy999]

You’ll be fine. This is the magical part 😊 ✨ xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Tugsgirl]

😇 🤞🏻 xx

[CheshireKit]

I had a day 3 transfer on my second round of ivf as I only had 2 embies so they’d rather get them transferred as you’re the best place for them to be. Hope all goes well today and they get nice and settled into their new home xx

[gemmy999 in reply to CheshireKit]

Thank you 🤞🏻 xx

Thank you xx ❣️

[Squeak2]

Good luck on 2ww xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Squeak2]

Thank you. Not looking forward to the wait xx

[Squeak2 in reply to gemmy999]

Just do whatever you normally do... do things that keep your mind occupied as it helps get through it at times! xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Squeak2]

Thank you. It’s hard cause the clinic don’t say to change anything but my gym is so full on I’ve decided not to go, which I’ll find hard! I’m going to walk instead. Xx

[Squeak2 in reply to gemmy999]

Yup but not to fast a pace that you can’t catch your breath! I was told not to do much of any exercise and struggled not to but it will help if your a gym bunny! 😁 xx

[gemmy999 in reply to Squeak2]

Oh ok. Thanks. I’ll take it easy. But I’ll have to do something a little active 🤣xx

[JULIETJAM]

Trusting that your transfer went well and smoothly x

[gemmy999 in reply to JULIETJAM]

Yes thanks. What’s a strange and exciting experience. X

[JULIETJAM in reply to gemmy999]

That’s great. Did you see your embies in the Uterine canal on the ultrasound? It’s a good experience. I got to see mine and I was given a print out picture of it. I will keep it for good memories x

[gemmy999 in reply to JULIETJAM]

Oh lovely. We didn’t get to keep a picture but did take one on our phone. They didn’t use ultrasound but did bring the embies up on the screen before transfer. X

[Hidden]

Hiya how are you doing? Just wanted to say good luck hope you are ok xxx

[gemmy999 in reply to Hidden]

Hi, thanks for asking. Not to bad thank you. Bit up and down, some days pains, some dizziness. Hoping it’s good signs but no idea. To scared to test! So get my bloods taking on Thursday. Results Thursday afternoon 🤞🏻 What a LONG journey. Xxx

[gemmy999 in reply to Hidden]

How are you? Xx

[Hidden in reply to gemmy999]

It is isn't it. I think the waiting is worse than all the injections. We had egg collection on Monday 4 eggs but only 1 fertilised so we just have to stay positive and hope it's a tough little bugger 🤣 Fingers are crossed for you xxx

[gemmy999 in reply to Hidden]

I saw your post 🙁 it’s so hard but try and stay positive. You only need the one so fingers crossed this little embie is that one 🤞🏻 sending positive vibes. Thank you Xxx
