Update: had my 6+2 week scan. Extremely happy and sad at the same time.

Hi all, finally got to see a baby with a good heartbeat today. But there was only one. I'm very grateful but sad as well. One of the embryos was ours we made with my husband and a donor egg. It was our only one so we decided to adopt an additional embryo to implant at the same time (the two embryos weren't genetically related). The adopted one had a higher chance of implanting, better quality. I was really hoping to see both so I'd know our little embryo made it. We are thrilled to have a healthy baby but also sad about the other.

Hopefully that makes sense? I'm not complaining. It's just a complicated feeling. I was crying both happy and sad tears at the same time. xx

Congratulations to you both. Never thought of doing what you did, such a good idea!, but I totally understand, there's no way anyone can say how you should feel. I'd be exactly the same. I had two embryos implanted and I was hoping to see them both too. You've done an amazing job, congratulations. X

Thanks!

Congrats 👏 how do you know which one implanted ?

[Ell493 in reply to Beclp]

The other was better quality. I think there was something wrong with my husband's sperm. She had over 30 eggs and only made one embryo.

You never know. Your little one could be the one that implanted 💕 it’s possible 🙌

Congrats on your pregnancy. I don't think you should feel sad. You have no idea which embryo implanted and its not always the better quality one. I think you should celebrate that you are having your baby whichever embryo it was, you are now carrying it and giving it life through your body and your genes, and it will pick up a lot from of you from that and be your child however he or she started out in life - and like I say you can't be sure it wasn't your one! xx

Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will be surprised to find out that the Embrayo you thought was not strong enough was the one that made it. Good luck with your pregnancy wishing easy and comfortable healthy pregnancy and birth

Congratulations! Sorry that there were disappointed not to see two heartbeats but happy for you that all is well with the one there is. And you never know it could have been that embryo which was successful- many poorer quality embryos still have success! xx

Thanks!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I think it's only natural to feel a bit sad for your little Emby that didn't make it, but it's amazing you've got that little one growing nicely 😊. Wishing you lots of luck 💕xX

Thank you 💕

For my first pregnancy, we transferred 2 genetically tested embryos: 1 boy, 1 girl. The boy was excellent quality, the girl was average… Guess who’s made it?! We welcomed a baby girl! 🙂

Embryo quality accounts for only 30%, the rest is endometrial response.

[Ell493 in reply to endbrnd]

Thanks! Yes there is a chance our embryo made it. You never know. It makes me wonder, if the environment in there is good, why don't they both stick? There's so much chance involved. So crazy.

HI ell. Mostly we go in for one baby, transferring two embryos can give us that dream. The little one that has remained, looks good to me, so fingers crossed he/she makes it all the way. Thinking of you. Diane
