We have 3 frosties

[Fingerscrossed34]

So this is more than we expected to get and I know we are incredibly lucky but I still feel quite sad we lost the other 5 embryos at the final hurdle, feels like a big drop off suddenly. I’m also just moody and down today I think the Progesterone is giving me PMT! Just feeling a bit rubbish today too. But 4 total is good news even if we started with 16 eggs! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyone else feel rubbish on the Progesterone part?

Just wanted to tell you that according to my clinic, 4 would be spot on. Out of however many mature eggs you get, in an ideal situation, they would like to see 50% fertilise and 50% of those to go on to blasts. So well done ✅ xx

Thank you, that’s good to know. I know we’ve done well and exceeded what we expected too we have to focus on that! Just a down day today! x

[Tugsgirl in reply to Fingerscrossed34]

Understandable with all the extra hormones etc xx

Aw it’s a minefield of emotions but you have you have one safely back inside you and 3 in the freezer so that a great achievement.

Hope the 2WW is going ok xx

[Fingerscrossed34 in reply to Kyell2]

Well we’re half way through! Our clinic counts two weeks from egg collection so one week down already. Hoping as I’m back at work tomorrow that this week will fly by. x

[Kyell2 in reply to Fingerscrossed34]

Oh that’s good that you only have a week left, going to work will definitely make the time go faster x

Progesterone is the enemy!! It just makes you feel rubbish. 4 blasts is a great result from 16 eggs, we had 16 as well and ended up with 5 blasts. One of which is snuggled up in my tum now ❤️ Best of luck lovely x

Thank you! Progesterone really sucks! x

Aww totally feel for you on the progesterone - it's awful!!

You've done amazing to get that number of frostie. My clinic will only freeze above a certain grade so considering we had 17 eggs (13 mature) we ended up with one frozen and one growing well in my tummy. It only takes one 😉 x x

[Fingerscrossed34 in reply to Drives]

Yeah our clinic doesn’t freeze C grades but no idea if that’s what happened. It does only take one I’m still hopeful this one sticks. Yes Progesterone sucks!! x

That's wonderful to have 3 frosties! I know it's sad you lost the others but just try and focus on the hope those embryos and this transfer offer you. Lots of hope there.

I know what you mean about the progesterone, I'm eating ALOT of food partly comfort eating and dangerously I just baked a batch of cookies... I also had to go and buy a new bra as this progesterone is inflating me somewhat as well as being super grumpy! Im trying to roll with it as I am still super grateful to be going through this, as it puts me a lot closer to having a baby than if my OH and I were left to ourselves !! Xxx

[Fingerscrossed34 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah my boobs do that every month anyway! So incredibly grumpy it’s unreal!! I saw so many people complain about the other meds and I didn’t find them too bad but this lot sucks. But as you say it’s all taking us a step closer! x

3 frosties is brilliant.. Well done! Of course you feel sad at the loss, its only natural but 3 is fantastic. Progesterone has a lot to answer for! Xo

I feel AWFUL on cyclogest. I’m with you!

[Hope76]

3 Frosties is amazing, I’ve got none so just think there is always someone worse off. I was distraught earlier when I learned I had 3 they wanted to discard. But soon decided to focus on the 2 excellent embryos they transferred today. Initially I was so upset so what you are feeling is completely normal.

I hate them blooming ‘bullets’ they are the devil 👿

[crisps88]

I know you feel disappointed and that’s natural no matter what you get or what you don’t, it’s totally natural. 3 Frosties is amazing and they must be brilliant quality to freeze so well done on that Hun even though I know its easier said than done. Xxx

[Hidden]

I can understand that you're disappointed but it's a great number! Chin up! Tomorrow will be a better day!
