Embryos frozen!

[Hopingforbaby_]

Hi everyone!

I had my eggs retrieved last week. 18 retrieved with 16 fertilizing successfully We waited 5 really long days. The embryologist called to tell me 7 had developed but were ‘compacting’ more slowly than he’d like to see. He said he was surprised because I’m so ‘young’ (also not that young if we’re talking fertility lol) Absolutely scared the shit out of me, but also we’ve never really known why I’m not getting pregnant so maybe now we know it’s egg quality? Anyways he was giving them another half day before freezing and would call me back. The next day he called and said ‘good outcome’ we have successfully frozen 4…. 3 4BB and 1 3AB.

Why don’t I feel like this is a good outcome? I would have liked being able to do more FET if we need to. I’m a little concerned to be honest but don’t meet with my doc until the end of the month to discuss transfer protocol.

Any shared experiences would be so nice to hear, thanks for listening!

4 in the freezer is really good lovely, I was 26 at the time of freezing and I got 5, 3 As and 2 Cs.Currently 33 weeks pregnant with twins using an A and a C on our 3rd cycle so you’ve done amazingly well! Good luck.

It sounds good to me. On my first round we got 7 eggs, 5 fertilized and we only got 1 embryo (fresh transfer).

I just wanted to say congratulations to getting to freezing stage 🎉 such a huge part knowing you have embryos frozen.

In my own experience I did 2 natural frozen embryo transfers in 2016 1st one failed 2nd resulted in my 6 year old. Fast forward 6 years and we went through this crazy journey again as I still had blastocysts frozen. The same happened again 1st failed and the 2nd was positive, I’m nearly 10weeks now.

You only need 1 so having 4 is amazing, I really hope you get your bfp ❤️
