Embie on board. It’s not the best embie we’ve had, it was a day 6 grade 3bb but it was expanding today. Transfer was straight forward. Thank you all so much for your support today (and every day) xx

You know what I’m going to ask now don’t you ladies? Success stories of a 3bb please pretty please? xx

I’m home and lying on the sofa with a blanket. Just had my injections and did my usual round of cursing with the Heparin. I’m bruising well now. But, like I said to OH, maybe I shouldn’t complain how much these ones hurt and just be grateful that I still have a need to take them xx

Glad it went well sweetie. On my last FET (I had one failed fresh and FET) I had two transferred, one a 3bb and the other was a similar grade. One of those stuck which is now my little girl. I’ve said this to another lady on here but they can only grade them until a certain point, no one knows how they will grow once transferred.

I hope this is your time xxxx

Fingers crossed for you and welcome to the 2ww

I had a 4BB transferred and my doctor told me this is roughly same success rate as AA.

Hope all will go smoothly and hope to hear good news in 2 w!

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to Ap98

My last bfp was a Bb but it was a 4bb like yours.. I was just a bit worried that this one is a 3 xx

Ap98 profile image
Ap98 in reply to Tugsgirl

You said it was expanding again, this is good news!

Rating is not that important. A friend got a bb with BC or even lower, but probability reduces. But we are all different and we need a bit of luck and biology!

So stay positive, take good care of you!

We send you lots of good vibes!!!!

Good luck! Just wanted to say my 3rd transfer was a day 6 compacted morula (just before blastocyst stage) so my thoughts were it’s not great if it wasn’t at the blastocyst stage by day 6, I was wrong!

3bb is great - good luck 🍀🤞 xxx

Glad everything went well. I also had a 3bb transferred yesterday and the clinic said it was still nice looking and had every chance. Now we just need to try and not go too crazy during the 2ww. Best of luck with it all! x

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to Lynnr54

I guess they don’t transfer embies that don’t have a chance. It’s just hard to be positive after everything else I’ve experienced. When is your otd? I’ll be watching for your updates.. Good luck xx

Lynnr54 profile image
Lynnr54 in reply to Tugsgirl

That’s very true. The clinic said they won’t freeze ones that don’t have a chance so they must think a 3bb is a good enough grade. I totally get why it’s hard for you to be positive. Hopefully the extra meds they’ve got you on this time will make all the difference. I really hope it’s your time this time - you so deserve it after everything you’ve been through.

OTD is 8 March for me but I’m going to test 9dpt. I had a CP last time round and as hard as it will be if I have another one this time I want to know to see if there’s a pattern forming.

Good luck! x

With working on a post natal ward I hear lots of ivf stories, some are amazing, start off with no hope or their last ever try or the last embryo that had been frozen for years and they all made it.

Hey Tugs

Am so please your transfer went ahead! I never even asked the quality of my little Emby, I honestly tried not to focus on it and have lots of positive thoughts for the little one. Am 38 weeks pregnant so it didn't matter!! Am sending you positive hugs and good luck xxxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

I’ve just seen... xx

After being told it probably wouldn't be today and sitting waiting on blood results they finally decided at 10am we could go for transfer! Very stressed and teary 24 hours but on cloud 9 at the moment.

How are you today hun? Xxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

I was really upset about losing an embie yesterday, I couldn’t believe it. Then we only made it to the clinic by the skin of our teeth. I’m feeling much calmer today, I wouldn’t say positive but calmer xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

I'm glad you feel a little better today, fingers crossed each day is bringing you closer to your mini-me. I wasn't prepared for the day before transfer to be so stressful, I wanted to be in a happy, positive state not bawling my eyes out! Xxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

Me too. I can honestly say after four transfers that my fourth has been the most stressful and disappointing but at the same time overwhelming relief at just having had something left to transfer xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

Been thinking about you a lot, take care and I'm here if you need a chat, Hope you're feeling a bit more positive today xxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

Thank you, that’s so nice. I’m neither feeling positive or negative really, it could go either way, at least I’ve not yet convinced myself that it definitely won’t work xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

I think it's self preservation a little bit as well isn't it? After everything that's happened it's natural to almost shut off for a little while xxx

Wow Vic - I didn't realise it was coming round so quickly. Stick little embie stick. I really hope and pray for you this time.

I was really sorry to read also that one little one didn't make it. Its such a massive fear and is a loss in it's own right, i am so sorry for that and I just wish you all the luck in the world for this little embie.

i get your concerns about embie quality but a bb is really decent and so many people have success with bc and cb (i think my last embie is a cb or bc, can't recall which).

Hope you are resting up and having lots of cuddles with future hubby xxxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

Hey 👋 Yea I’m not worried about it being a Bb grade as our last bfp was a Bb that’s why we named it Bb lol. I’m more worried about it being a 3bb, it’s the 3 that has me a bit worried. You’re right though and I know there’s a chance it could work, guess I just can’t allow myself to believe that though xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

xx

Good luck! I know how you feel with the heparin injections. I’m going to start clexane injections when I start stimming as I got SLE. And if my ivf work I will need to continue on it until I see a consultant.

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

The heparin hurts and does bruise but it’s funny how I’d love to have to keep doing it for the next 9 months 🤞 xx

Hey Hun well done on the transfer and praying for your embie! Keep your feet warm and rest up but do some walking too to get the blood pumping 😊 I don't think grading really matters because you just can't predict it! I think our first too that failed we're 5ab's and Leora was a 6bb so according to the grading system our poorer quality embie became our little girl! A fertility acupuncturist once said to me that the more transfers you have the increased likelihood of success because the body learns what to do and eventually gets it right, there are so many elements when it comes to getting pregnant! Everything crossed for you! Xx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to Aleelilook

I guess. And I keep reading that. And googling. It’s just that I had bad af type cramping on my bfps and this time all I’ve had is sharp twinges here and there in my ovaries. Slight, ever so slight mild backache and my boobs are a bit more sensitive, not much more. I know all these things can be due to progesterone and af being due tomorrow too. It will be a bloody miracle if it’s a bfp on Tuesday xx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

If it’s any consolation one of my bfps was a 4ab and yours was a bit better xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

I go up for a blood test on Monday but right now I really don't feel much different at all. One minute I think we have a chance, the next I'm in tears as I really don't feel any different. No sore boobs, no headache etc. Cramps and lower back pain now and again and that's it! I think I'm struggling to work out how I should really be feeling at this stage.

Thank you so much, I just hope he or she decided to stick....

How are you doing hun? Xxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

Pretty much the same as you! If I’m having symptoms then they are mild ones! Some cramps and twinges, mild backache and some lightheadedness, boobs a touch more sensitive but nothing definitive at all! It doesn’t feel the same as when I’ve had my bfps.. af is due tomorrow, I know she won’t show because of the cyclogest and Lubion but it could explain the “symptoms”. So yeah I am constantly thinking we have a chance, no we don’t, maybe we do, no we definitely don’t. It’s purgatory xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

If it helps I was speaking to my friend today who told me her two successful pregnancies were completely different from day 1 so fingers crossed this is your turn.

Half of me is desperate to know and the other half is too scared to find out. Doesn't help that all this snow has kept us at home the last 3 days so I have far too much time to think rather than keep busy. Xxx

Tugsgirl profile image
Tugsgirl in reply to

I know exactly how you feel on both counts there too! Terrified of finding out on otd but fed up of the tww and suffering cabin fever! We had things planned but we’ve been snowed in.

Thank you for trying to reassure me. It just feels like it will be a bloody miracle to get a third bfp in a row especially as this tww has been different and our embie wasn’t as good a grade as the last two xx

in reply to Tugsgirl

I keep looking for reassurance and when I get some it doesn't make me feel any better, ha! I've told my hubby that I don't know what I want just now and I'm just going to be a massive pain in the arse until Monday if not longer lol.

I'm here any time if you need a chat or you just want to talk nonsense or vent.

Xxx
