Success stories please with top grade embryos

[JenRoy]

I had an embryo transfer on Thursday with our first donor egg embryo. It was a 5AA 🌟

We never achieved such a top quality embryo with my own eggs so this is really exciting 🙌

We had success with an average grade embryo in 2018 who is my 2.5yr old gorgeous daughter 🥰. But multiple failed rounds since.

I’m now day 2 post5dt and all the doubts are creeping in. And obviously too much googling already 🤦‍♀️🙄. I’ve read that there’s a good chance of success with a 5AA but when I’ve looked for positive stories all I read is ladies posting about failed transfers with 5AAs 😢.

Positive stories would be very much appreciated. Need to keep a positive mindset as the negativity is exhausting 😴

Cant offer advice but that egg sounds fantastic quality. Can I ask how you chose your donor egg and what clinic you went to?

[JenRoy in reply to bestthingsinlife]

Matched via Altrui (a UK agency) and then used a south London clinic (DM and I’ll give its name).

We did a fresh donor cycle. Got 19 eggs, 17 mature and 15 fertilised. All made it to day 5 and they froze 9. The other 6 weren’t deemed good enough to freeze x

Currently 11 weeks with a 5AA 🥰❤️Best of luck! Xx

[JenRoy in reply to Millbanks]

Thanks! Got a BFP ☺️. Now to wait for the viability scan 😱🤞🤞

[Millbanks in reply to JenRoy]

Ahhh amazing news!! Huge congratulations my lovely ❤️❤️❤️Ugh the wait for the scan is hard, but just keep telling yourself there is no reason for anything to be wrong. We have our 13 week scan on Thursday and I'm worried all over again! xx

[JenRoy in reply to Millbanks]

I remember the anxiety from having ny daughter in our OE ivf. So nerve racking. Good luck!!

[Millbanks in reply to JenRoy]

Hoping all goes smoothly for you this time round xx

I got no advice either as I never knew the grading of our embryo 🥰 Just wanted to send you some positivity - nothing you can control sadly, but have faith! Believe it will happen- I know that is so much easier said than done - and so scary to let yourself believe as deep down you want to protect yourself! The chances of it working are as best as they can be! Science done it’s part, now to trust nature! Tell yourself something positive every morning - does not have to do with your transfer! But something about yourself - “I am strong” “I am healthy” “I am a good person” etc 🥰

Just wanted to wish you all the best!! Be thinking of you!! 🤞🤞

[JenRoy in reply to Sparklylife]

Thank you ☺️. You’re very wise 😘. And right! I’m very scared to hope too much. So scared of it failing. But this is definitely the best chance we’ve had for a long time. Will keep those positive affirmations going 💪 xx

[JenRoy in reply to Sparklylife]

Got a BFP so now to wait for our first scan 🤞x

[Sparklylife in reply to JenRoy]

Aw, I am so happy for you JenRoy ! Congratulations! I know the waiting for every milestone is hard, but you got this. Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy 🥰

Hi Jen,

I’m 2dp5dt aswell but with a 5bb! I’ve heard lots of positive stories here with AA BB and even C grade embryos, so try not to worry too much x wishing you all the luck and baby dust x

[Kyell2]

My little boy was our only surviving embryo and was a 5AA 😊.

Keep the faith xx

I just wanted to wish you all the luck 🤞 I'm currently prepping for a FET with a donor egg embryo Xx

[JenRoy in reply to User20]

Good luck hun. It’s such a journey to get to donor eggs. Wishing you all the luck too 🍀xx

[ChloeDE]

Our clinic uses a different grading system but we transferred 2x day top grade donor egg embryos last year and now have twins. Good luck (and stay away from Google). X

[JenRoy in reply to ChloeDE]

Fantastic news! That’s so wonderful. Will try and ignore the lure of Google 🤪😆

[Lou1616]

Hi, I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant with a donor egg grade A. All the best hun 🌸 x

Wonderful! Hope you’re feeling well and it goes super smoothly for you xx

[JenRoy in reply to Lou1616]

We got a BFP. Very relieved but taking each day as it comes 🤞

[Lou1616 in reply to JenRoy]

Congratulations hun 🌸🌸

[Ell493]

Good luck to you!I'm transferring my donor embryos grade 6AB and 3AA in a few days. I'm trying not to stress about the grade. They say stress is the one thing you should avoid. Fingers crossed 🤞

[JenRoy in reply to Ell493]

Good luck!! 🍀 I’m definitely less stressed than I was with my own egg transfers. Feeling ok and keeping busy. Just hoping 🤞🙏x

[Ell493 in reply to JenRoy]

Yes, me too. Donor eggs give a higher success rate. So I'm less nervous, but still.

[JenRoy in reply to Ell493]

Hope your transfer went well. We got a BFP so keeping things crossed for you x

[Ell493 in reply to JenRoy]

Awesome! Congrats xx

[Hidden]

My twins are 9 this month and they were 5AA 💙💖. I'm currently 31.5 weeks pregnant with a 5BB baby boy too. Wishing you all the best of luck x

[JenRoy in reply to Hidden]

My goodness!! That’s incredible. Well done and hope it all goes smoothly with the arrival of your little boy xx

[jengi]

Awh sounds very promising JenRoy! I’ll keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 We used donor eggs too and now have a 5 month old son. Did you transfer one or two? Xx 😘

[JenRoy in reply to jengi]

Congratulations jengi. I remember the arrival of your little one. So glad you achieved your dream ☺️. We transferred one as we really would rather not have twins. But I’d definitely consider a double transfer in the future. Just hoping this is it 🤞

[jengi in reply to JenRoy]

Fingers crossed, sending you lots of positive implantation vibes! Xx

[JenRoy in reply to jengi]

We got a BFP! Relieved and now taking each day as it comes. Fingers crossed 🤞

[jengi in reply to JenRoy]

OMG, this is amazing! Congrats huni. Just take each day at a time & stay positive. I’m so so happy for you….. I could burst! Xx 😘

[bbti]

I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with a 5AA embryo. Still can't believe it! ❤ Good luck! 🤞
