Officially PUPO! 😁😍💕

[Niki_B]

Well that's it officially PUPO! So we've got 1 blast rated a 3ba on board. None for the freezer..yet 😟 (I knew it, same as last time) but they said there are 3 or 4 they are watching until tomorrow so fingers crossed...while day 6s are not as successful as a 5 daty they do produce babe thousands of babies the embryologist said! Ok so i was a bit worried when she said 3ba....our last embryo was a 4bb. (I think we have the same rating scales as you in the UK...1 being the lowest and 6 being a fully hatched blast?) But she said the difference between a 3 and 4 is minimal and she said all that number represents is the outer shell of the embryo. She said it is a really good looking blast!! She said only when you haves Cs in there should you start to worry.

So I'm actually quite happy with a 3ba would you guys consider that a good embryo??

I know she said its a good looking blast..and be happy ive got a nice blast as some people dont even get that far and sometimes they would transfer a morula if thats all a couple had. So yep the 2ww stress has already kicked in ugh 😞 I'm off to eat some pineapple, Brazil nuts and wash it down with pomegranate juice!, 🤣🙃 I will try anything this time! 🤞❤💕

Yay. Hope it all goes well. If it's any help to know, my clinic do not grade any more. And there is some research coming out that grading does not necessarily impact on outcome.

So cheers with pomegranate juice and hope you can relax (?!?!) Into the 2ww.

Good luck xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Hidden]

Oh really? Hmm that would be awesome actually...cause guess what I'm already bloody googling embryo grades!! 😣😣 gosh this is gonna be a long 2ww!! Well actually I only have to wait 9 days, we get a blood test after 9 days, no peeing on a stick. I don't know how you ladies do 14 days 9 days is crazy enough 😂🤣😓🙃

Thank you and yes cheers with my glass of pomegranate juice! 🤣😘😘 xxx

[Hidden in reply to Niki_B]

My clinic does the test 10 days post transfer too. I agree it's hard enough too. Step away from Dr Google (says me who is currently scouring the internet for information on what progesterone and estrodoil levels should be at time of fet) xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Hidden]

Hahaha we can give great advice..but when it comes to ourselves 😂🤣 I'm trying to tell myself what will be will be. Trying is the key word here 🤣😉😁 xxx

[Noobs]

Fantastic! Got everything crossed for you nikib1980. All sounds really positive🤞.xx

[Niki_B in reply to Noobs]

Thanks Noobs! I really hope it will be a positive 😉😁😘 xxx

[Noobs in reply to Niki_B]

So do I. You have to keep thinking like that. Come on the egg💪X

[Niki_B in reply to Noobs]

I'm trying I really am. Omg I'm surely going to go nuts in this wait it's not even day 1 yet 😂😂🤣 xxx

[Noobs in reply to Niki_B]

Aw I know. The longest two weeks ever😂. I’m rooting for you and the egg🙏X

[Niki_B in reply to Noobs]

Thank you!!! This is our last chance/hope so it really needs to stick! 😔🙃💖💕

[Turtleswimmin]

Hey congratulations that's amazing news! Just make sure you relax now for the next couple of days. I'm going to enjoy today as much as possible before facing work again tomorrow. Xx you inspired me to buy a pineapple yesterday 😂😂😂

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Aww thank you! I'm already going bloody nuts googling embryo grades 🙈🙈 I can only imagine what the next few days have in store for me 😂😁😣🙃 hehehe oh nice yes I had my slice of pineapple today....mmm so delicious! Make sure you eat the core too that's where all the good stuff for implantation is 😉😁😘😘

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Oh I did not know that, I will do 😂😂 if I'm honest it was all a blur I know she said the embryo they put in was ab+ she laughed at the b+ and said it was very nearly an a. The one in the freezer is a bc but I have no recollection of her saying any numbers! I'm trying my best to stay off Google but it's not easy! Told you your positive pants would work 😊

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Yes you must eat the core, it's not the nicest part but it's where all the goodies are at 😉 well sounds like you got a good embie either way! Lets hope we both got sticky ones 😉😍 oh trust me my positives pants are on one minute, then next minute they are flung across the room and into the closet nowhere to be seen 😁😂😉😘

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Yes all my energy is going to the embie sticking 🤣 just eaten my pineapple portion and gutted as it's not even a nice sweet one but I'll try anything 😊 xx I'm about to get my laptop up and running to get some work done but going to avoid my emails today to reduce the stress xx

[Hidden]

Wishing you a positive 2ww. Xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much! 😘Xxx

[Lamorna80]

All sounding good to me! Welcome to the 2WW club and good luck in trying to stay sane 🤪 Fingers crossed for a positive for us both 🙏🤞🤞🙏 xx

[Niki_B in reply to Lamorna80]

Thanks hun 😘 not sounding as good as your embies tho 😉 how are you coping so far? When is your OTD? Xxx

[Lamorna80 in reply to Niki_B]

OTD is Thurs 11th 😬 I have ups and downs of positivity....the usual being scared to hold on to it, having experienced so much disappointment in the past. I’ve learnt not to symptom-watch, as I’ve previously been convinced it’s worked then realised it’s the meds/my body playing tricks on me, but it’s so hard! I’m also useless at relaxing without feeling guilty. I’m my own worst enemy 🤦‍♀️ Let’s hope this flies by for the both of us without too much mental trauma.

[Niki_B in reply to Lamorna80]

OTD is Friday the 11th for me 😣 i know what you mean, my last cycle was a fail...and this is it for us we simply do not have the money to fund another round. So alot riding on this 😩 but I'm just trying to tell myself what will be will be. It's very hard to stay positive though. And yes let this time fly for us...please! 😉😂🙃😬😍😘

[sanni12 in reply to Niki_B]

Yaaay we all test on the 11th. Will be rooting for us all 🙏🏻❤️many Congratulations my dear xx

[Niki_B in reply to sanni12]

Who else is testing and oops sorry I meant friday the 12th is my OTD your a day ahead 😉xxx

[sanni12 in reply to Niki_B]

Haha I’m sure your a early tester 😉😉

[Turtleswimmin in reply to sanni12]

Mine is also the 12th but I'm going to wait until the 13th as its a Saturday and I won't be able to cope at work on the Friday if its negative and I've take too much time off to have another sick day! It's going to be agony waiting but I'm also trying to think if it's worked it's going to be hard waiting 9 months so what's another day 🙄 my boyfriend has hidden the test from me so I can't cheat xx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Thats a good idea just in case, if you cant have anymore time off. I really hope this is our time hunny 🤞🤞🤞xxx

[Turtleswimmin in reply to Niki_B]

Me too darlin, this is it! 😍🤩😍 xx sleep well tonight xx

[Niki_B in reply to Turtleswimmin]

Yessssss! 😍 thanks hun you too xxx

[Hidden]

Really glad you got reunited with your embryo 😍

I ate loads of pineapple & I swear that helped! I took a fertility/pregnancy supplement each day.

I also watched a comedy film every night to help me laugh & relax I think that helped. The 2WW is hard!

It’s good you are in a positive mindset because that’ll help 🙂definitely pregnant until proven otherwise! 🙌🏻

Don’t get too hung up over grading I’ve seen women get BFP from low grades anything is possible is this crazy journey! If it’s meant to be it will be ✨💞

Wishing you every success & hope you get your BFP xoxo

[Niki_B in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much Jess 😊 yes bought me a nice fat juicy pineapple today will get 5 slices out of it for the next 5 days already had some today sooo delicious! Yes I'm doing the same I'm making sure I'm watching a comedy every night to make me laugh 😂 I know I shouldn't get hung up on grading....its just really hard for me as this is it. If none make it to freeze tomorrow this is mynlast shot if being a mother and having my own family 😣🙃 but your right what will be will be 😊😘xxx

[Tugsgirl]

I would try to be happy yes. A 3ba is good. I had a 3bb in February and we were told that was a good grade blast and re-expanding nicely. Besides, didn’t a lady on here introduce the news of her daughter from a 3cc a few weeks ago?

Wishing you a speedy tww xx

[Niki_B in reply to Tugsgirl]

Oh really? Phew ok I was panicking cause it was a 3 but after some googling 😆🤣😂 it's actual probably better than my 4bb. But yeah did hear about that 3cc! So we really can't go off grading anything can happen! Thanks so much this has to be our time 😊🙃😍😗xxx

[Kari55]

I would definitely say it’s a good grade. Wishing you all the best for 2WW. Xx

[Niki_B in reply to Kari55]

Phew! thanks so much 😁xxx

[Sammy18]

Good luck, I really hope you get your bfp xxx

[Niki_B in reply to Sammy18]

Oh me too Sammy thanks so much! 😘😘xxx

[Cinderella5]

Yep, I'd be pretty chuffed with that grading of embryo....done a lot of reading up on this and as & bs are good and even seen some of lesser quality c's be babies too! Wishing you so much luck!xx

[Niki_B in reply to Cinderella5]

[Cinderella5 in reply to Niki_B]

[Niki_B in reply to Cinderella5]
