Tomorrow is day 5 of the blastocyst stage and I'll find out how many have survived and are good enough to be frozen.

A, B and C's make it at my clinic.

Just posting to vent my anxiety. I know it's good news so far but literally anything can happen at any stage in this process and not sure how I'll handle it if it's bad news.

So hard and tiring to keep positive. 😖

Thank you lovely. X

Been thinking about you over this weekend. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed it’s good news for you tomorrow 🤞🏻 and you’ve lots of wee embies to freeze. The anxiety part of this journey is the hardest part isn’t it. It’s so hard to try not think too much about it and keep yourself busy xx

Well thank you. Had a last minute fresh transfer today as they wasn’t sure and it depended on how I was. It’s like being in the constant unknown. Some of our embryos have been frozen too so it was amazing news for us after an emotional week. We didn’t get any day 3 updates, just had to wait for the overall result which was nerve wracking. I hope tomorrow brings good news to you, its seems like you are in a good position xxx

It is such an anxious time. Wishing you all the best. I remember getting that phone call to say we had 5 that made it. So emotional. ❤️

5 top quality (A) embryos in the freezer. The relief!!!!!

A wee but dissapointed I likely won't have a FET till January, but so pleased we've gotten this far.

Would love someone to explain why we haven't managed to get pregnant naturally yet. 🤷🤷

If it's anything like mine, you won't find out much. They'll tell you if you're responding as you should be to the drugs and say "keep going as normal". They might tell you how many follicles they can count so far. I'm really nosy with the ultrasound and ask them lots of questions about what I'm looking at.

Distracts from thinking about having a wand up yer hooha. 🤣

Deep breaths! 😘

Yeah that’s exactly the bit I’m not looking forward to! Relax eh? How can I when there’s a massive dildo shaped thing stuck up my hooha!! 🤣🤣

So would I. So far no answers from two clinics. A few tests and they don’t seem to want to do anymore.

They just focus on the frozen embryos that we have. I guess I can understand to a point. Just frustrating that neither my husband or I seem to have any issues but can’t conceive naturally. I don’t really believe in unexplained infertility, I think if you look hard enough you will find something. For now focusing on quality frozen embryos is the way forward on the journey. I am pleased you have some great frozen embies.

Best of luck. ❤️

Thank you. I feel the exact same! I asked the consultant if they would check my tubes in case of blockages. He said "no. We usually only do that with same sex couples. It's the only other reason I can think of so far for it maybe not working...

Did you have yours checked?

Yes it was a hycosy but I wouldn’t say it was conclusive the consultant said all was ok. However the new clinic I am with said that, putting fluid through your tubes doesn’t always highlight issues. saline may flow through meaning there is no blockage but there maybe scaring for whatever reason that is preventing an egg traveling down the tube or sperm traveling up.

This depressed me somewhat!. It seems from reading on here that everyone has such different advise. I fear this journey we are on is never straight forward. I think we just have to do what is right for us. I feel if I try one or two times with my frozen embryos and it isn’t successful then I am going to push for further investigation independently.

Interesting to hear. Yeah i think I'll be the same re further investigations if it doesn't work! Trying to take each step at a time, be grateful for the chance and keep the faith. 🤞💪🙈🙏❤️
