FET - Embryo on board! Stressing as usual 😩

[Greyeverything]

Had my transfer today. Was a little painful to be honest, had some real cramping getting the catheter in but it’s done now at least.

Embryo was 5BA, am I being completely ridiculous being a little worried about that?? I know the B part relates to the bit that develops in to the foetus so I’m stressing out that it was the lower graded part!

On our fresh transfer it was a fully hatched blastocyst that looked totally different from our little frostie today. Today it was really compacted and there was bits that the embryologist said had been discarded?? But that it would continue to develop without those bits. She said it was all normal for an embryo that had been frozen and defrosted again and it was a good quality embryo but I can’t help be worried which is the last thing I should be doing today!!!

Looking for reassurance I think and just wanted to get it in writing on here as husband thinks I’m being ridiculous!

Good luck! I’m sure if they thought it hasn’t defrosted ok they would have said and not transferred it x

I haven’t got much advice. I am going for my first FET next month but I don’t think they would have gone ahead if they weren’t confident! Best of luck to you xx

I had 4ab and 4bc transferred together. Don't really understand grading very well, but I think both would be considered lower quality than yours. Anyway, happily one stuck and is kicking me quite hard right now!! I don't think you need to stress about the grade. Hope the 2ww doesn't drag too much and ends in a BFP for you xxx

Congratulations, that’s amazing! I do know that the grading doesn’t really make that much difference from everyone’s stories on here. What will be will be, just can’t help but worry! X

Hi, it’s really hard not to stress nor overthink especially when our first cycle failed a lot of trepidation the second time around. Might help if you read a book or try to occupy yourself.

I will be having my FET this month after a failed ICSI last April. We decided will go for Naturalness FET rather than the medicated just to give my body a break from medication. So just a waiting for my ovulation peak date. I was quite in a state when I was on IVF medication so you’re not on your own, I can understand how you feel - it gets overwhelming after the transfer. Best of luck on your OTD!!! xxxx

Yeah I’ve just automatically assumed it’s not going to work, feeling really negative and stressed when I know I should be relaxing and being positive so it’s making me even more stressed that I’m not relaxed! Ridiculous! We are going away for a few days to take my mind off it hopefully 🤞🏻 the whole thing is just horrible isn’t it! Good luck for your transfer x

Bless you! That would be a good idea for you both. Best of luck!! Xx
