Feeling hopeless

I just had a call from the embryologist to say only one of my embryos is developing well (day 3). 1 had 6/7 cells the other 4 only have 3/4 which is poor for day 3. I only had mild IVF. My AMH is 28 and mild IVF is aiming to retrieve 6-10 eggs. I was disappointed to only get 7, 5 fertilised and only one developing well for my transfer on Thursday. I know I need to try and be positive but currently feeling very blue. 😔

Wishing you lots of luck with all your embryos. I only ever had one that fertilised, it made it to day 5 and transferred, I’m currently 16 weeks. It really only take one, but I do hope your other ones catch up and develop well also xx

Sometimes they can surprise you. My 4 cell on the afternoon of day 3 just about developed into a 6 cell at the very end of day 3. The embryologist wasnt optimistic but it did eventually make it to blast! My OTD is on Friday 🤞

Wishing you all the best!
