Day 3 update

[Lisaworthy1981]

We’ve had our day 3 update after egg collection on Friday!!

All 5 are still with us but a mixture of gradings......2 good, 2 average and 1 poor!! She said the poor is only poor because it’s 7 cells and not 8!

I didn’t really understand and don’t think I took it all she said as I was so nervous when the phone rang 🙈!

But anyway we’re booked in for transfer on Wednesday at 3pm

If anyone could give me and info on embryo grading I’d be really grateful xxxx

This all sounds pretty positive Lisa. On day 3 the preferred number of cells in an embryo is 8 however you can see embryos with 9, 7, 6 etc. The clinics are also looking for the division of cells to be equal sized with mininmal fragmentation. Ive attached this link for you to have a read through. Hope it helps. Good luck.xx

🤞🤞🤞 you will do transfer and have some to freeze... looking forward to welcoming you to the 2ww 😉

Thank you we’re really hoping so too!! This is our second cycle and In our first we had 4 at collection and only two made it to day 5! Apparently both good grade embryos! First ended In a chemical and second was a bfn!!! Go I guess the grading doesn’t mean anything!! Xxx

Ps - on my first ICSI, I end up with one poor embryo at day 3 which we decided to transfer there and then in case we lost him. That day 3 poor quality embryo is now s very big, healthy and naughty 4 year old. I also had a good quality embryo transfer at day 5 that unfortunately I MC at week 10.... so as you can see quality of embryo does not equal pregnancy or healthy baby.... be strong 💪

I had one looking a bit worrying last week and it caught up too, so try not to worry too much. (I know that’s easier said than done) wishing lots of luck for Wed xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Emma04]

Ah really well hopefully it might catch up then!! How many did you end up with???

It’s all a worry isn’t it 🙈 but we seem to cope somehow xxx thank you xx

[Emma04 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Emma04]
