Early blastocyst success- it does happen!

[ToughCOOKIE78]

At this very moment I am freaking out big time, as my beta HCG shows I’m pregnant.

Having had a mmc at 11weeks last March, I’ve learnt that a positive pregnancy test doesn’t mean much. Yes it means the embryo has implanted but it’s pretty much it. The road is very long and definitely treacherous.

And I’m sorry if you think I’m being negative, but it’s just the truth.

However, I’m happy to say I was wrong when I thought my cavitating morula/early blastocyst wouldn’t implant- IT DID!!!

After the transfer I was so upset because of the ‘bad embryo’ I ended up with, but I want you ladies who are in the same situation that it does happen!!!!

Whether the pregnancy progresses though, it’s a different story.....😉

Right now I can only be happy that I was wrong! ❤️

[Orla9298]

Yay! Good luck! Sometimes how an embryo looks or being a bit slow just means nothing! Fingers crossed for you that this is your little fighter, it sounds good! xx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to Orla9298]

I hope you’re right Orla ❤️🤞🏻✨thank you hun xxx

[PenguinBlue]

Yayyy! So pleased for you. Wishing you all the best for this one tough cookie!! You deserve it xxx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to PenguinBlue]

Thank you penguin dear! It’s so hard to believe though! 🙈xx

[PenguinBlue in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

I can imagine! Will you do a second beta? Hope that will put you a bit more at ease though I’m sure it probably will never get easier for those who have suffered losses before. Have everything crossed for you hun xxx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to PenguinBlue]

Yes I’m doing another one tomorrow...I’ll also check progesterone and TSH (I’m on meds for hypothyroidism) ...I don’t think I will EVER be able to relax 🙈I just need to try take one day at a time ....whens your OTD??? 😍🤞🏻✨wishing you all the best!!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[PenguinBlue in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

All the best for today’s test! Have everything crossed for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽🍀🍀 one day at a time is a great approach! Ha mine feels like an age away - 13th Dec. I have a lot of anxiety about testing (never had a BFP) so I’ve put that date in a box in the back of my mind! 🙈 thank you for your wishes and look forward to hearing how you get on today xxx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to PenguinBlue]

Awww thanks! I won’t have the results until tomorrow 😣I totally understand how you feel, I can’t even get to book the scan 🙈I told my hubby that I won’t look at the screen! I will look away...

You know, before getting my BFP was so used to BFNs that when I actually had my first BFP (my last pregnancy) I tested at 4am while my husband slept and thought I was seeing double! I woke him up asking him to look at the test because I thought I was seeing things lol and it was a strong line on OTD, not earlier...

Anyway, I have everything crossed for you my friend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[PenguinBlue in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

All the best, hope it’s not too anxious a wait til the results tomorrow!

Thank you so much tough cookie - have everything crossed for you toooo 🤞🏽🤞🏽 Xxx

Thank you 😊

[Hopingforarainbow]

Congratulations 🥳 lovely news. Wish you all the best 🤞🏻🤞🏻 can I ask what grade your embryo was? xx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to Hopingforarainbow]

Thank you hun! My embryo was a cavitating morula/early blastocyst so couldn’t be graded, as it was just turning into a blastocyst....xx

[Hopingforarainbow in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

Thank you for replying. I don’t really understand all this grading. It’s so confusing 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to Hopingforarainbow]

Gradings are just a way for embryologists to pick the ‘best looking’ embryo when you have many...so you transfer the one they think has a better choice....but then it’s not always what happens...because at the end of the day they only look at the morphology of embryos and not at what’s inside (the DNA). Good embryos can have abnormal DNA (more often in women aged 35 and over) and vice versa...

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

*chance, not choice!

[Tryingtostaycalm]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I had 2 average blastocysts transferred a few days back and was so deflated until I’ve read your post! Congratulations! All the best for your pregnancy.xx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to Tryingtostaycalm]

Thank you so much 😊🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[Danuelle]

This post has given me some hope. I've just had two cavitating morulas transfered and been told it's a 10% chance of success. Thanks for posting

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to Danuelle]

I’m glad it did! 10% seems a bit low to me....fingers crossed for your BFP hun 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[LouKP]

I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to post and say that it has given me some hope. Had a MMC at 7 weeks last May after our first ICSI cycle, and now on our second cycle the best we had to transfer was a day 5 cavitating morula. I was a bit disheartened as up until this point this cycle had been going so much better than 1st (more eggs, better day 3 quality) and I was hoping for at least one good blastocyst to transfer.

I guess all I can do is hope this this wee embaby has a chance and see what happens. Hope it's a wee fighter and overcomes the odds x

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to LouKP]

Hi Lou! I hope your embaby stuck 💕xx

[LouKP in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

Unfortunately it didn’t, but have just started meds for a new fresh cycle. Not off the rollercoaster just yet xx

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to LouKP]

Im sorry to hear, hang in there hun! Wishing you all the best xx

[jaanleo]

Hi there! Congrats on your success with the early blast. Did you have any obvious symptoms during your tww like spotting, cramping or sore breasts?

[ToughCOOKIE78 in reply to jaanleo]

Hello!! No I didn’t…nothing at all! I thought it didn’t work but it did 😊wishing you all the best! X

[jaanleo in reply to ToughCOOKIE78]

Thanks so much xox
