Embryo update..... questions....

[MrsH007]

Just had a call on our day 3 to say 5 of 7 embryos are top grade and other 2 are ‘good’

So on for a 5 day transfer Saturday....

Is there a possibility between now and Saturday that some of these will die or reduce in grade? Or does that grading remain the same?

Thank you in advance

My last cycle we had a call on day 3 to say we had 3 top grade embryos but when we went in on day 5 for transfer hoping to have one transferred and 2 frozen we were told they were average quality and none could be frozen, it seems my embryos start off well but then slow down. We will be having a day 3 transfer next time. Everyone is different and it’s not to say your embryos won’t be good 😊 good luck for transfer day x

The grading unfortunatly can change between now and transfer however all sounding good at the moment! Best of luck for transfer!xx

I had a phone call in day 3 to say 2 were good, 4 were average. By day 5 only 1 had made to to blastocyst, and wasn't best grading but they've transferred him. None left to freeze. Was absolutely gutted and upset, but so grateful that our 1 had made it to day 5. Good luck with your embryos x Stay positive x x

Ah thank you for your reply, it must have been disappointing but also a relief that one made it ❤️ Best of luck to you too xxxx

Day four is a transition day for embryos apparently, and my clinic don’t check them on day 4 because of this (they don’t disturb them). So things can change re grading but you will probably find out on the morning of day 5 when you go in for transfer. Good luck x

Yes, be prepared for a reduction in numbers, I had 9 good quality ones on day 3 and then day 5, 4 where good enough to freeze the other ones were only early stage blastocysts X x

I think they say 30% of eggs normally make it to day 5. We had 11, 7 fertilised and on day 3 they were all really strong. By day 5 we had 3 which we were happy with. It’s such a numbers game. It sounds like everything is going well at the moment - wishing you lots of luck xx
