1 embryo transferred none made it to frozen

I’m feeling mixed emotions today and wanted to see if anyone had been through similar or has any advice. We had one embryo transferred yesterday after ICSI - it’s our second cycle and first time of ICSI after no fertilisation first time. We had 13 eggs collected and 7 fertilised but only got one to transfer and got a call today to say rest hadn't made it. I’m really worried about the chances of the one that was transferred now and what this means for future as we don’t seem to be able to get good levels of fertilisation. Guess I’m just looking for some advice and would love any success stories from those who have been through similar.

Hi Char1t. So sorry that this has happened, but rest assured they wouldn't have transferred the one, if they didn't think it had a chance. Just wanted to wish you both well and I shall be thinking of you. Diane

I haven’t got a success story to share but just wanted to stop by and say I can understand those mixed emotions (having often had good numbers throughout but then having so many deteriorate, one to transfer but nothing left to freeze). I know it’s easier said than done but try to focus on that little one you have on board. I have seen many women on here have had success from the ‘one & only’ embryo so if you can, try to stay focused on that. Wishing you lots of luck xxx

We had similar on our first and second round. On our third round they realized my follicles needed to be much bigger to get a decent quality egg so kept me stimming for longer and had a longer trigger too. Made a big difference and we even got some frozen blasts also. Good luck with your egg transfer. Hope it sticks xx

Hi, I had exactly the same numbers (but no ICSI). We lost 6 embroys between day 3 and 5. Only one survived I was shocked .

But guess what😅 I am now 22 weeks pregnant with that one little fighter💪💪

Never ever loose hope and believe in that little one, he or she deserves it. Been through a lot already 🤗🤗

I cant help with advice but Im praying your little embryo is a magic one! Ive seen a few ladies only have one embryo and be lucky and it must have been ok or they wouldnt have transferred it. Good luck.xx

Just wanted to say my husband's bosses had this, a nice number of eggs but not many fertilised and then only one embryo to transfer. That little embryo is now their lovely three year old boy. So there is still hope. Don't be afraid to ask the clinic if there are things that can be done to improve fertilisation for a potential round three if only to set your mind at rest and give yourself a plan XXX wish you all the best xx
