Early blastocyst

I would love some positive stories/ thoughts as I’m worrying 😞

I had my transfer on Monday which went well. Unfortunately we didn’t get any more so none to freeze.

The embryo they transferred was in the early stages of blastocyst so was growing slower than they wanted. They really didn’t fill myself or my husband with much hope. We felt so deflated.

I wandered whether anyone else has been in this situation and went in to a successful pregnancy?

Thank you in advance. It’s tough isn’t it?! 😩 xx

Hi wrighty82, I’m in a very similar situation to you but 3 days ahead as my transfer was Friday. We didn’t have any embryos to freeze either which just adds to the pressure on this little one! Ours was an early blast of good (but not great) quality. It’s a nerve wracking time but we can only hope for the best. X

It definitely adds to the pressure. They didn’t even say our embryo was good but hoping it will grow now it’s in its natural environment 🤔

Good luck to you and I so hope we get our bfp!! Have you any symptoms yet? Xx

Nope I’m feeling very normal again now, thought I had sore boobs but think it was just from all the stimms as that’s settled now. Not sure what to think re symptoms or lack thereof 🧐

I just read an earlier post of yours and there was a few positive stories from others who’d had their miracle baby from their one and only blast, really nice to read those stories.

My neighbour had two. They were not confident on either so they transferred two. The boys are both nearly 8 months now. Keep the faith x

Even when they tell you that you have the best quality embryo they've seen on the day you still get 2ww wobbles!

They don't show success statistics on embryo quality. Only on the woman's age.

Hey hun I wouldn't worry that it was an early blast. When I went in for my transfer day 5 I was told we only had 1 blast...and none to freeze again! But said they were still watching a few and would call me the next day. I wasnt holding out much hope as they told me that last time and we didnt have any to freeze. I got a call the next day we had 2 more make it blast!! I was ecstatic! So what I'm saying is that on day 5 those embryos must have been an early blast or a morula they call it, as they said the day before I had only the 1 blast that they transferred. So they were definately slow to develop as well. So try not to lose hope had they waited another day yours could have been a hatching blast like mine, but they have to transfer a fresh on day 5 as that is when your endometrium is most receptive they can only do day 6 blasts in a frozen cycle. Try and stay positive and very best of luck for OTD! 🍀🤞🙏😘💕

Great to know this, I didn’t know you couldn’t transfer a 6 dayer if it was fresh! You know that they say, slow and steady wins the race!! 😂😂👍🏻

Thank you so much for this 😊 xxx

Wishing you all the best to! Xx

Well they can transfer it at day 6 but the odds of it implanting is much lower as they miss the optimal window for your endometrium. So yes stay positive because yes slow and steady does win the race!! Got everything crossed for you 🤞🍀🙏😘 xxx

My first pregnancy I had 4 fertilised eggs by 9 pm that night on egg collection, next morning only 1 had survived. They called and said it needs to get in ASAP as that is its only chance to survive. Wasn’t even a blastocyst. I had a day 2 transfer and have a gorgeous 3 year old today! Not all hope is lost xx

My doctor said in 35 years he’s seen it all and is constantly surprised. Morulas to healthy babies, early blastos, low graded blastocycts ... he says you never know - so keep the faith 🙏😘
