Am I normal???

Hi all,

I had my ET on Sunday and will back work today (I feel good). But i’m wondering if the egg and fertility rate and development rate are on the ‘normal’ range. I had 19 eggs, 9 were fertilised, but 1 was ok at the 5th day for transfer (they haven’t specific how good it was :( so i’m concern), 2 were good at the 6th day and another 2 were ‘borderline’, so we had the option to freeze all or nothing and we decided to freeze the 4 remaining. The dr told us that success rate for frozen eggs is much lower when the embryos are ready on the 6th days. So i’m scared that we may have issues with the development rate of the embryos... also we only got 1 good embryo out of 19 eggs... but we don’t know why that low rate. Anyone has a similar experience? Was the right decision to freeze the embryos?

I’m in the 2ww and don’t want to over stress but and it is difficult not being anxious 😟

Many thanks!

Hi

It's very difficult but there are so many unknowns and always exceptions to the rule. If they really thought there was no chance with the other eggs then they would not have frozen them.

Try just to focus on this time. Hopefully this will be successful and you won't have to think about the others for a long time.

Good luck xxx

You are right... one step at each time. I need to be positive on the one I have with me now ❤️ Thank you for the support!

No worries. It is totally normal to be worrying about everything. Even down to crumbs on the side in the kitchen (i.e. the smallest things that you wouldn't normally bat an eye at).

Fingers crossed for you xxx

ive had the same kind of worries when we have had cycles i think its normal to worry and each cycle/embryos are different x

I’ve read the opposite, six day blasts are just as likely to take when they are frozen, it’s when six day blasts are put back fresh that they are less likely to make it because they are out of sync with the womb lining. My clinic won’t freeze embies they don’t think have a chance and they froze two six day blasts for me. So keep hopeful x

Thank you! I will keep hopeful and no worry too much. It is true that if they freeze them there should be some chance. Good luck for all of you xx
