Our first embryo transfer!

We just had our first embryo transfer. We set our hearts on two embryos and as we had 6 embryos on day 4, we thought that would be possible. However today the embryologist told us only one is in blastocyst stage and the rest are there but slow, two are at the stage right before blastocyst which is not bad...

They advise us to go only with the one as it’s our first round and I’m 35 years old. We suggested to wait till tomorrow to see how the rest doing but the embryologist advise us against it.

I’ve been told I’ll receive a call tomorrow to let me know how the rest of embryos doing and if they have developed to blastocyst and could be freeze.

I’m very negative and I can’t keep calm, I really hope our embryo implant, keep me in your thought and wish me luck.

Hi mara!

Good luck! Just to reassure you I was only allowed one embryo transferred at a time (that's a good thing) and I'm nearly 39. Finally bfp for me.

You can do it!!!! X

Hi Mara84.

We nearly had 2 ready the day before transfer; but then we had only 1 embryo transferred as it was the best one, 3 frozen, the next day we got a call to have another frozen aswell.

Good luck! X

Mara84 in reply toBubunoto

Hi, thanks so much for asking, not a great news, non of our embryos made it to the blastocyst stage, thank god for the one we were able to transfer. I'm waiting to hear about progesterone level as its apparently very important.

hope you are having a good day xx

I am so sorry! You are probably devastated 😔 I hope everything works out for you and the embryo they transferred develops into a healthy baby! Sending you lots of love 🙏🏻

Mara84 in reply toBubunoto

yes dear, not what I was expecting. You know I was on diet to prepare my body no coffee or wine, lots of healthy eating, so I was really upset when embryologist told me the news. lets hope my one embryo would work. thanks again for asking.

how are you doing? xx
