Embryo Update From Yesterday

[ttcemmie]

Forgot to post yesterday that we got the call that the other 6 embryos didn't make it. It doesn't make sense to me as I thought double the eggs would mean double the blastocysts, not half the blastocysts (1) but concentrating on doing the best for the little one inside me.

At least I was vindicated about worrying and asking about a 3 day transfer! With them being like no don't worry, definitely will have ones for blastocyst. One to transfer seems quite dicey to me! I know we all have differing views on this, but I would prefer a 3 day transfer than nothing to transfer.....

Anyway, so so grateful for my one inside and happy to be at home incubating. Will not even be leaving the house now until OTD!

Thanks, I debated about posting this with everyone getting cancelled cycles and also with me being happy I even have one on board. I might take it down. xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to ttcemmie]

No way pet! You keep this post of hope up! We all need it 😘😘😘😘

[ttcemmie in reply to RhinoCat]

Oh RhinoCat, BTW I found a DinoCat emoji! 🐱‍🐉 Literally. So hopefully it won't be long before they do a RhinoCat. xxx

Oh, love, I’ve been there (lots of fertilized eggs and zero blasts for me) and I really feel for you. Hang in there, stay inside, and look after yourself. Thinking of you and sending love ❤️

[ttcemmie in reply to cggregory]

Thanks. Is this an insensitive post with all the cancellations? Should I take it down? x

[cggregory in reply to ttcemmie]

Not at all!! This is a painful process whether there’s a global pandemic happening or not. We’re all in this together and we’re here to support you ❤️

[ttcemmie in reply to cggregory]

Thank you for the support. Stupid stupid global pandemic, though. So stupid and unnecessary! Well, that and IVF!

Hi Emmie love ❤️First of all this is not an insensitive post and you shouldn’t take it down- we’re all IVF warriors and in this together and I don’t think the lovely ladies I’ve met here will think you’re being insensitive!!!

As Rhino said, we need some good news in these dark times 🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀I’m rooting for you and embaby ❤️Don’t forget the colder showers 😉💋💋💋💋

Sending lots of love xxxx

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Issy! I know we're all rooting for each other on here; you're right. I was just worried that it would come off that I was complaining about my 1 embaby when I'm so happy it's on board. Yes, already had one of those less hot showers today. Sigh..

[Chel91]

So kind of you to be thinking of everyone else. But no need to feel bad!! We all share our highs and lows, no reason to feel guilty about your good news! For me it can be hard to compare myself against others at times, but this is such a wonderful supportive community, it makes it easy to be happy for everyone! 😊

I just want to say I'm sorry that you didn't get better news, this whole thing is such a gamble and I can totally relate to the worries you were having on day 3!! So glad you have your little one on board though! What an amazing feeling 🤞 xxxxxx

[ttcemmie in reply to Chel91]

Thanks Chel. The comparing is hard, but I know we're all supportive and rooting for each other on here. I just didn't want to be complaining about my one when I am really thankful for it! You're right we share the good and the bad on here. 😊

Ah Emmie, every day there is always a mixture of posts - people posting beautiful pictures of babies and excited posts with scans and BFP’s and people posting heartbreaking posts re losses and bfn at the same time - to me the lovely positive posts give us hope 🌈 you have every right to be happy to have your little one onboard. This is what to me this group is about it’s so lovely to see the genuine excitement we all see when someone has a positive story and yet we are there for each other when things havnt turned out how we hoped. You have had more then your share of heartaches on this journey and are always there with fantastic reassuring advice. When we see the negative posts we can relate and try to share a little of the despair and know we have probably all been been in that despair but help that person to see that you can bounce back - but these positive posts help us all to see that miracles do happen and I am absolutely touting for your little one to get snuggled in there xxx

[ttcemmie in reply to Luna_79]

Thanks Luna. Glad this is seen as a positive post. I just didn't want to be moaning about my other embryos not making it when I was so lucky to get to transfer. You're right: we need a mixture of posts to be able to understand people's journeys and to be there for the good and the bad. Thanks for your message. xxxx

Hi emmie. Glad ur safe and sound at home with ur bubba on board. I feel you though. Especially when they sy at day 3 that they look very good and suddenly they didnt make it to day 5. But im guessing they do what they know best. I did think, would a private clinic listen if you would ask for 3 day transfer? Are you private or nhs? Stay strong ❤️

[ttcemmie in reply to Hidden]

Hi Mimisami. Thanks. I'm also guessing (for this round anyway) that they do know best. They are private, and I trust them, and said they would do a 3 day transfer if I felt strongly about it, but definitely wanted to trust them at this point! x

[JoP32]

So sorry the others didn’t make it, but so happy you have your one on board! And at least you know it’s a good one that’s made it to blast stage (you know I’m with you on the 3/5 day transfer debate! Im also doubting I made the right decision re. Holding out to say 5 as everything was looking good on day 3. Still, we’ll never know so as you said, we can only focus on the precious cargo we do have on board! And how lucky we are that we got to this stage at all especially in the current climate 😘) xxx

[ttcemmie in reply to JoP32]

Thanks. So so so lucky. Terrible environment.
