Re expansion thaw of embryos

Hi ladies

Has anyone had a 3 ( day 5 blastocyst thawed that quickly developed into a 4 when it was thawed out before transferred. So for example a 3AB or 3BB that turned to a 4AB/4BB? Xx

HI sunset212. I had two embryos thawed this morning as I had my transfer today. Mine were 4BB and 5BC on day of freezing so blastocyst stage and today they thawed to 4BB and 4AB. It sounds like it’s good news for you as it’s got better. Goodluck xx

Thanks for your reply Tulips1978. Very best of luck 🤞 for the results of your transfers soon. You have a good shot with two on board and being good grades. My ones to transfer at freeze were 3BB i am just really hoping when they thaw they expand a bit more to a 4BB the letters at least are not so bad. Sounds good that your letters improved on the second from a 5BC to a 4AB I know the number is slightly less but the middle letter turning to an A is a positive sign compacted more the cells to give an improved grade of the Fetus part 🤞🙂💙💖xx

How are you feeling any implantation signs? When do you test? xx

Hi sunset212

Had slight twinges on day 2 and 3 and heaviness in my lower abdomen but not much else. Testing on Monday. Really nervous.

Where are you with your cycle? Fingers crossed for both of us xx

Fingers crossed the twinges could just be the implantation process working away 🤞 I started first day of cycle yesterday so I’m due to go in first week of March for my transfer with a 3BB x
