So just had the lab update . The 3 embryos are still going but one is poor.

We have :

πŸ₯š 1. 10 cell

πŸ₯š 2. 8 cell

🍳 3. 4 cell

Safe to say we are down to 2 at this stage from these results. πŸ™„

Finding it hard to think any will make it to Monday day 5 🀯

The lab director said that the two are 5/6 from the endoscope ratings ..... with the 10 cell Looking top quality at the moment.

Why do we always wish for more than one when even one blasto is a mission 🀨🀯πŸ€ͺ😒😭

I had 31 eggs taken, 26 were injected with sperm, 16 fertilised, 11 made it to blastocyst stage but only 2 were good enough to freeze. I was so disappointed and I shouldn’t have been because really I should be thankful for 2. Fingers crossed for you and I hope your two make it to good blastocysts! X

Hi rhinocat, I’ve had similar experiences myself and in 4 cycles have only ever scraped together something to transfer (not always a blastocyst) with never anything to freeze. I naively thought on my 1st cycle I’d get a few blastocysts ending in a pregnancy and some in the freezer. I guess I’m the unlucky one balancing out the statistics. I hope you have more luck than myself. Come on embryos grow grow grow xx

Your experience sounds

Like Mine. I got one last round and obviously it didn’t work. Not much I can do, just have to go with it . πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»

A 10 cell and 8 cell on day three are exactly where they should be. No reason to think they won’t make it, hoping they do make it for you!! Only two more days to wait xx

Know how quickly the numbers fall

Etc. No appointment was made for transfer on Monday just told to be ready in case I had to come.

Hi Rhino. I hope all 3 survive. Here is cheering your little ones! Positive vibes only xx

That is sounding strong to me. πŸ₯š πŸ₯š 🍳

(Your pics made me smile... I was actually able to have a chuckle that my one was a 🍳 last time πŸ™ˆ... it is a good way to look at it and I didn’t think I would ever be able to smile about it!!)

I know it is a day at a time but you are getting closer to Day 5.

You can do it girl! 😘 πŸ’ͺ🏼

Just wanted to say that I really hope you get great news tomorrow. I've got ET booked for tomorrow morning & getting a bit worried about my little embie's progress over the weekend (also cultured to day 5). Not much to do about it either way, though, so will just have to go with it. I've got everything crossed for you (although I'm sure everything will be fine)! Best wishes!! x

Hi RhinoCat I couldn't scroll past your post and not wish you luck πŸ‘ you never know the 4 cell may catch up yet, but sounds like you have 2 strong front runners there. Wishing you lots of luck for your update tomorrow, take care ❀🌈😘

Hi RhinoLovelyCat. I would never say "safe to say" in this journey, so I would consider 3 in the running at this stage! Understand if you're trying to be conservative and self-preserving, but I will have all 3 in my thoughts for you. xxx Keep us updated. So stressful! xxxx

Thanks emmie , I hate blasto Eve πŸ€―πŸ˜„πŸ€ͺ I’m going to find it really hard to get up early and get ready if I don’t know for sure there’s a reason for it πŸ€ͺ I predict a night of tossing and turning .

You know the deal like πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ 😘

Totally agree with everything everyone has said - numbers mean nothing! They only got 6 from my round. We ended up with two (in their words 'dodgy' ones frozen) but, crucially, the one transferred led to a BFP ;-) Now 6 weeks.

Not what you're looking for?
