Day 3 cell formation

Hiya

Today I got an email to say my 4 embryos have 4,5,6 and 7 cells respectively. This is day 3 and therefore they should have 8 to 10 cells. Has anyone else been in this situation and had a positive outcome. I don’t want to live in false hope and be hurt later. Has anyone else had a successful outcome with these odds

I think around now they should have 6-8 cells so that may make you feel a little bit better?

Fingers crossed for you that they all do well xx

Hi Rainbwhope. Those are not bad numbers really. The smaller ones will catch up hopefully. Years ago we only did 4-8 cell transfers as we didn't have the expertise to grow them on any further. We still had many successes, so go with that thought. Thinking of you. Diane

Yeah I think your right and I and I am just letting the stress get to me. I need to remain calm and wait to see how the progress by Wednesday. Either way there is nothing I can do about this now. It’s out of my hands. This is always the worst part for me. I can deal with the injections and all the other stresses of IVF but this bit makes me crumble. DH and I are now going out to spend the day shopping and eating. Hopefully this will keep my mind occupied for a while. Thanks for your reply

Never any need to apologise, we all get it xx

Hi sweetheart, I had 3 embryos transferred back at 3 days. I had a 5 cell, a 7 cell & a 8 cell. I'm currently nearly 14 weeks pregnant. I think before starting IVF I was beliving I needed amazing 5 day blastocysts to be successful so was shocked that I got my BFP! Hopefully by Wednesday you will perfect little embryos for transfer. Good luck 😘 xx
