Rollercoaster!

[JenRoy]

So yesterday I was so happy, 2 blastocysts transferred. Not the best grade but still good. I was feeling excited and positive.

Today the embryologist phoned to say our remaining 3 blastocysts had shown signs of degradation this morning and weren’t suitable to freeze. So we have no frosties for future.

Now I’m feeling completely deflated and worried. What happens if our 2 transfers did the same overnight?! They weren’t too great. Pretty average. I’m willing them on but so scared they’ve already degraded. What seemed like good odds yesterday now looks slim!

But...I love an underdog so will be willing our embies on! 🙏🤞

Anyone else been in similar situation?? Esp no frosties and average grade blasto’s? Thanks ladies x

Maybe they have done better and are safe and sound I hope so x

[JenRoy in reply to Autumnmoon]

Thank you 😊. I hope so too!! Xx

we only had 2 left with none to freeze and had them both transferred on day 3. We ended up with a BFP, unfortunately i did miscarry. But just goes to show it can and does work xx

[JenRoy in reply to lauren3189]

Thanks. I kind of wish they didn’t tell us the grade. Just that they put the best 2 in. That’s how I’m going to try and think of it. We’re incredibly lucky to have got this far!! Xx

best of luck xx

Sorry you've not had the best news today. Hopefully the 2 you have are snuggling in nicely! I never had any frosties from my fresh cycles unfortunately which seems to be fairly common. Good luck xx

[JenRoy in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks. I always thought we would! My naive pre-IVF self 😝. Just hoping those 2 are happier now they’re where they should be 🤞🤞 xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to JenRoy]

So did I....nobody tells you the fact that there may not be any to freeze. I just presumed that because I had eggs that equalled embryos! Sure learned fast though! Ha ha ha Yes they are back in the best place, fingers crossed!xx

Hi Jen. I speak to a lady who was in a similar situation; she had 5 eggs collected, only 3 fertilised but were not great quality so she ended up having a 2 day transfer with two embies and nothing to freeze. She's 24 weeks with a singleton 😊 Good luck xx

[JenRoy in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!! Stories like that show me I need to just have faith that it can happen. I’m feeling much better now, taken control of my panic mode! It’s lovely having such support from you all xx

[AS100]

All the very best 😃 🙏 💖 keep busy in your tww!! Xx

Hey Jen. The embryos do better in you than outside so hopefully they are tucked up nicely. Try not to worry too much about the grade. Look after yourself and hope the two weeks go by quickly xxx

[JenRoy in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Zoe. So true. I went into proper panic mode! Spoke to my hubbie and then my mum plus all the comments from you ladies...feeling calmer now. Just got to stay busy and positive xx

Congratulations on the transfer! I’m 3dp5dt and we were told we probably wouldn’t have anything to freeze, they waiting till day 6 and we were lucky to have 1 in the freezer but it was touch and go. I know how upset I was on transfer day to be told there wouldn’t be anything to freeze. I was blubbing on the bed before we even got into the theatre to do the transfer.

Just think that your 2 embies are fight hard to make a lovely home for 9 months. Good luck and be kind to yourself. You’ve done amazing to get to this point! Baby dust to you! Xxx

[JenRoy in reply to Em2405]

Thanks Em2405! I just never thought that with 11 eggs and 8 fertilised that we’d end up with none to freeze.

But...that’s the way it is now and you’re right that we’ve done amazingly to have got this far! I am really proud of us 😊. Thanks for the baby dust 🌟. Sending lots of baby dust to you too xx

Hi there! I had the same situation last year - 12 collected, 9 mature, 8 fertilised - we ended up with nothing to freeze & had 2 average grade embies put back. The embryologist was not overly confident about them when they called to tell me this the morning of my transfer (cue floods of tears at work)

Anyway, I now have a 6 week old little boy. Please don't give up hope! I have everything crossed that one or both are snuggling down nicely for the long haul! Hang in there although I know it's tough xxx

[JenRoy in reply to Hidden]

Pumpkin36, thank you so much for replying! Really appreciate it.

Congrats on your 6 week old. That’s amazing!! You’ve certainly helped me feel more positive. I’m willing on my two! Still can’t believe they’re in there 😝 xx

[Hidden in reply to JenRoy]

You're more than welcome the reply 😊

Glad you're feeling more positive, it goes along way to getting through the 2ww. Try to relax as much as you can although I know it's not always easy & take care xxx

[Se99]

Don’t forget the ones they put back are best of the bunch so don’t compare them to the ones you’ve lost, they are much better off inside you!

I had my transfer Sunday too! Good luck!!!x

[JenRoy in reply to Se99]

Very good point! That’s what my husband said, great minds 😊. Congrats on your transfer and good luck for the 2ww xx

[Se99 in reply to JenRoy]

Thank you! X

I’m afraid I’ve not been in your situation, but I just wanted to wish you lots of luck. I had a day 5 blastocyst transfer 3 weeks ago now, so I can understand your anxiety generally! I hope your 2 blastocysts hold on tight and get snuggly 🤞🏼🍀 xxx

We had our last two transferred and I'm 22 weeks pregnant with one. Keep the faith. Those embies could be little soldiers fighting to live.i say consider yourself pregnant and think positive.all the best with the tww.take one day at a time.
