I never got an embryo picture. Also the embroyologist, chooses the embryo. Infact if not for follow ups after failed cycles, we wouldn't have known the grading of our embryos, they only just tell us, you have got good embryos.

Congratulations and wishing you a bfp

Wow this is amazing!! I never got to see my embryos. And definitely had no say in the decision about which one went back in, the embryologist chose for us x

That looks great!! I got photos of mine from the day they were defrosted, right before they went back in. They're on the fridge right now and if all goes well we'll be able to show them to our kids "Look - this is you when you were 5 days old!" Very cute!

We chose to a certain extent as in we had 2 good and 3 medium quality and the embryologist suggested a couple of combinations for transfer - we decided to put in 1 good and 1 medium together but we didn't get to choose exactly which ones.

All the best for your transfer and hope for many more photos of those two!!

We have pictures from our five transfers/ six embryos. We’ve never chosen an embryo though, that’s all down to the lab.

Good luck xx

I never got to see our pictures. I assume they kept them and when we went back a year later we were told they didn't keep them.

A got a snap just before transfer but the embryo was contracting so it looked like pacman!

We got some pics of our embryos but never were asked to choose, not that we had an awful lot of them but clinic has always advised which ones they are putting back!xx
