1 embryo

One out of our four eggs have fertilised and we have our transfer tomorrow. A little disappointed we didn't have a higher fertilisation rate but relieved we have one as we are living by the mantra: you only need one. No frosties for us but I'm clinging to some higher power in the heavens telling us that we won't need it.

Hope everyone on this journey is doing ok.

Thinking of you xxx Are your clinic doing a day 2 transfer? I thought the earliest that could be done was on day 3? I hope everything goes well for you 😘

Yea a day two. Apparently they do it if there is only one embryo... It's definitely the one going in so they want it in sooner as there's nothing holding them back. I was wondering the same. 🙈

Ok that makes sense. They're the experts, I'm sure it's the right decision. I really hope everything goes well with the transfer. How are you feeling? Xx

I'm OK... Disappointed we have nothing to freeze as I'm only entitled to one fresh and one frozen on NHS as I'm in Northern Ireland. That's our frozen gone. But just hanging onto the fact we only need this one and hoping it implants and grows.

How are you? How are your embryos doing?

I didn't have anything to freeze on my last cycle and it's not looking too hopeful this time either. We've self funded both cycles and we didn't qualify. Hopefully this embryo will stick and you won't need to worry about frozen ones!

I don't know how mine are doing, I'm going mad thinking about them. My clinic only do day 1 and day 3 updates! Xx

Hang in there... The biggest issue I've found with IVF is the mental torture... Physically you just forget about it lol. They're in the best hands at the minute and hoping and praying you get good news.

Absolutely... We're hoping it's a stubborn one. 😃

On our way to the hospital for transfer and the first song on the shuffle playlist is Be My Baby by The Ronettes. I'm taking that as a sign to stay positive 🤞🤞😆
