So day 4 update on my eggs just leaves the one.

There were only 2 that fertilised anyway so I guess 50% isn’t too bad.

She said it did all the right dividing and performed highly in the embryoscope tests....but she also said there was a wee bit of fragmentation. She said that didn’t always mean it was over but what are your experiences of this. Is there really any chance of it surviving??

I’m freezing it anyway if it survives so it can go to day 6 but will it even make it that far....the wait continues 😩 xx

Thanks, I knew you ladies on here would know the answer. It would be nice to have 1 survive. Fingers crossed for tomorrow I guess x

Hey honey, glad to hear that you have one little fighter going there! If its dividing the right way then even if there is fragmentation there it can still be a perfectly good embryo. There are different degrees of fragmentation but its still going and thats the main thing!! Come on little embie, grow...grow!!xx

Thank you, let’s hope it keeps going, I’m encouraged it’s doing the right amount of dividing I guess and that it’s made it to day 4. Just reluctant to be optimistic until its frozen.

How are you, enjoying the rare Scottish sunshine? x

Ha yes it actually is sunny here today and yesterday for a change! Im unfortunately as work but just so nice to see the blooming sun...makes Monday a little brighter! Im just away to post a wee update on here myself, off to Athens on Sat and transfer is on Tuesday....eeeeeek!

Wishing you so much luck, its so hard not wanting to get your hopes up! I really hope you get good news. Are you doing your mulitple cycles and banking your embryos for transfer at a later date?xx

No just one cycle at a time and then use the frozen ones so I’m already on the progesterone pessaries to get ready for FET after next period. I hope the fun of the pessaries has not been in vain.

Oh that’s exciting. This time next week you’ll be prepping for Tuesday transfer 😊 ☀️ xx

Hi Kyell. I'm sure you are disappointed, but fragmentation doesn't necessarily mean it's all over. As long as the little one is dividing, hopefully you will be in with a chance. Good luck and I shall be thinking of you. Diane

Thanks Diane. They said it’s definitely done the right amount of dividing but only time will tell I guess x
