Hi ladies

Hope you're all ok. I've had a long day! It started with a 1.5hr drive to our clinic for our FET. We were very lucky to have 3 frosties and the embryologist was going to try thawing one blastocyst for transfer and then ring us en route.

We got the call at 10 this morning, the first embryo had failed to thaw. The clinic had previously told us they have a 90% success rate with thawing so we were immediately gutted and then worried that it was something to do with the quality of our embryos. We agreed to thaw a second embryo, and half an later got the call that that too had failed. At this point I burst into tears, too scared to imagine what might happen to our final embryo. They said they'd see us at the clinic and decide from there.

The rest of the journey felt like the longest ever journey. I've tried so hard to be positive throughout this cycle but everything just hit me. We got to the clinic and they said the third embryo hadn't had enough time in the embryscope to determine if it was viable so sent us away and to come back for 1.30... talk about nerves!

We had lunch, scared to talk about the what ifs or risks... Making small talk about the stupid sandwiches! By the time we got back to the clinic I was worn out and tbh fully expecting negative news. The embryologist said that we could relax and that they thought it was viable!! I was in shock. No idea what to feel as I was so prepared for bad news!

So... After a long day (we're still on the road, on the way back on the 1.5hr drive home now) I have had the transfer and weirdly... Lucky embryo number 2 (on the slide) was put in on 22nd of the 2nd month, at... Yep! TWO OCLOCK!! πŸ˜‚

Now I'm just hoping and wishing and praying that this little fighter stays put. But for now... Just happy to have good news.

Off to accupuncture when I get home and then I'm ready for a sleep!! Best of luck to you all ladies, it's not easy but it's a bloody miracle sometimes! Xxx πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žπŸ€žβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

Im not at a good stage right now! I had my first natural pregnancy8weeks ago but the fetus didnt grow up after week4or5 and we had a termination yesterday! It’s tough but it rarely happens! U must be optimistic about yourself and hopefully u will get the best bfp ever soon! Take care &relax! xxxxxxx

We lost one at thaw on one of our fets and that was upsetting enough so to lose two is horrible. Well done you for getting there in the end! And good luck for your tww xx

I was surprised how upset I was tbh, as we've had fresh cycles before when we've lost lots more embryos, but I think you become attached to the frosties! Maybe I'm nuts! πŸ˜‚ Thanks lovely. I hope you're doing ok? Xx

It’s so so scary to be told an embryo didn’t survive the thaw. You expect to lose embryos after EC. You don’t expect to lose any at fet because as you said, the success rate of thawing is so high.

I’m doing ok, I think πŸ€” I have a private scan tomorrow 🀞🏻🀞🏻 Xx

Glad it’s in a good way! ☺️ the journey is so full of ups and downs isn’t it. We had one embryo from our FET and it made the thaw which we didn’t expect and now I’m sitting here 20 weeks pregnant! So I’m feeling hopeful for you πŸ’ͺ🏻 you’ve got this πŸ™ŒπŸ» think sticky thoughts πŸ˜‚ xx
