Early blastocysts

[leo1980]

Morning ladies! Anyone have any positive happy success stories with an early blastocyst? Thank you

[Megandmog]

Yes, me! I had an early blast transferred on 19th October and currently 8 weeks 5 days pregnant xx

Congrats and thank you for responding!!! Tell me everything:). I have had this embryos frozen for the last 2 years. I actually forgot it was an early blastocyst. I was 38 when it was made and after a few cycles failed/unsuccessful I am considering transferring it. Am 40 now. What do you think??

Hey Leo.

I can’t see why it wouldn’t work, it worked for me. Mine was ungraded so I didn’t know the quality of it. I have one in the freezer from the same ‘batch’ which was frozen on day 6 and is now an expanded blastocyst.

It’ll be better in your uterus and the right environment to grow and attach. Also it’s always the ones you least expect !! xx

Thank you! An early blastocyst is usually the ungraded ones. Mine was frozen at day 5. It could potentially start to develop further once thawed. But my little heart is too afraid to hope...

[Megandmog in reply to leo1980]

I get that. Why don’t you see how it thaws? xx

[leo1980 in reply to Megandmog]

Looks like it is booked for the 2 Dec for a thaw. We are having it PGA tested. What do you think. I am nervous it’s my only on me left....

[Megandmog in reply to leo1980]

I think that’s the best decision. If you don’t try then you’ll never know. Hope if the only thing that gets you through when having fertility treatment. I wish you all the best 😘 xx

HI Megandmog - what day was the early blastocyst observed ?

[Megandmog in reply to Np7776]

Day 5 and it was transferred on day 5 xx

Hey Leo1980, is an early blast one classed as like a 2 or 3? X

[leo1980 in reply to Peanutchips]

Hi Peanutchips - it’s a 2/2 if that means anything...what do you think? It was frozen on day 5 maybe early afternoon so perhaps if it survives the thaw it might turn into a blastocyst which can be graded?

[Peanutchips in reply to leo1980]

Hey lovely, I think there’s always a chance isn’t there! My friend had two embryos put back before they reached blastocyst stage and she now has healthy toddler twins. Perhaps another option (if you can face it) is another collection and transfer that alongside another embryo for added chance? Xx

Hi. I would love too! But I am 40 my last round on the 16 Nov ended in fertilisation failure. Sperm parameters were fine so the doctors are saying it’s my eggs that are all wonky. AMH is low too. What do you girls think about the mild route? Anyone on here had the mild IVF route?
