2 Embryos developing well

I haven’t posted since my egg collection as I made the mistake of falling into the numbers trap. We’ve now managed to get through another milestone so I wanted to share some good news. We collected 7 eggs and 2 fertilised. 2 didn’t survive the ICSI injection and 3 didn’t fertilise overnight. At this point my heart sank, even though I knew we only needed one. However, I feel like someone is watching out for us as our 2 embryos are developing nicely and are now both 8 cells. It’s sooo amazing that for once I’m crying tears of happiness. It’s the furthest we’ve got and I’m so grateful 🍀

Thank you. Hope you’re managing to find distractions for the 2ww x

Thats great news, i only got 2 eggs and both got to 8 cells, i was nervous but it really is true it only takes one good egg, and quality over quantity 😊 good luck 🤞 how many are you transfering? xx

All the luck being sent your way ☺️. I only have 2 embryos make it to fertilisation and they are both top quality. Don’t put pressure on yourself have a lower count, as long as they are high quality. I beat myself up massively last week for only having 2. And I’m sitting here on my TWW with a 5 day transfer. Have faith, it can all still be good news for you xx
