Well that's it officially PUPO! So we've got 1 blast rated a 3ba on board. None for the freezer..yet π (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 π I'm off to eat some pineapple, Brazil nuts and wash it down with pomegranate juice!, π€£π I will try anything this time! π€β€π

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.
Oh really? Hmm that would be awesome actually...cause guess what I'm already bloody googling embryo grades!! π£π£ 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 ππ€£ππ
Thank you and yes cheers with my glass of pomegranate juice! π€£ππ xxx
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
Hahaha we can give great advice..but when it comes to ourselves ππ€£ I'm trying to tell myself what will be will be. Trying is the key word here π€£ππ xxx
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 πππ
Aww thank you! I'm already going bloody nuts googling embryo grades ππ I can only imagine what the next few days have in store for me πππ£π 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 ππππ
Oh I did not know that, I will do ππ 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 π
Yes you must eat the core, it's not the nicest part but it's where all the goodies are at π well sounds like you got a good embie either way! Lets hope we both got sticky ones ππ 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 ππππ
Yes all my energy is going to the embie sticking π€£ just eaten my pineapple portion and gutted as it's not even a nice sweet one but I'll try anything π 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
All sounding good to me! Welcome to the 2WW club and good luck in trying to stay sane π€ͺ Fingers crossed for a positive for us both ππ€π€π xx
OTD is Thurs 11th π¬ I have ups and downs of positivity....the usual being scared to hold on to it, having experienced so much disappointment in the past. Iβve learnt not to symptom-watch, as Iβve previously been convinced itβs worked then realised itβs the meds/my body playing tricks on me, but itβs so hard! Iβm also useless at relaxing without feeling guilty. Iβm my own worst enemy π€¦ββοΈ Letβs hope this flies by for the both of us without too much mental trauma.
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 π my boyfriend has hidden the test from me so I can't cheat xx
Really glad you got reunited with your embryo π
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!
Itβs good you are in a positive mindset because thatβll help πdefinitely pregnant until proven otherwise! ππ»
Donβt get too hung up over grading Iβve seen women get BFP from low grades anything is possible is this crazy journey! If itβs meant to be it will be β¨π
Wishing you every success & hope you get your BFP xoxo
Thanks so much Jess π 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 π 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 π£π but your right what will be will be ππxxx
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, didnβt a lady on here introduce the news of her daughter from a 3cc a few weeks ago?
Oh really? Phew ok I was panicking cause it was a 3 but after some googling ππ€£π 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 ππππxxx
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
Yes I've got my pineapple cut in 5 pieces for next 5 days...6 Brazil nuts daily and sipping on pomegranate juice as we speak π yes sticky sticky vibes thank you! πππxx
