Following our latest fresh IVF cycle we retrieved 5 eggs, of which only 2 fertilised via ICSI. I was disheartened by that, but we were very lucky that both made it to blastocyst stage.
Our last IVF cycle resulted in the devastation of TFMR at 15 weeks, because our baby had serious chromosomal problems. Needing to do everything we could to avoid that trauma again, we decided to PGT-A test our embryos even with low numbers.
The results came back in today. We have one normal embryo which we are really pleased about. The other was a complex abnormal. Obviously it would have been great to have both normal and would have been over the moon with that, but to have one normal is fantastic in our position.
Just sharing my good news xx

Yay so chuffed for you Skittles! Must be a relief although understandably a little disappointing that you didn’t get a full house. Now onto transfer! Keep us updated xx
Thanks for sharing your update - this is really great news! I'm sorry it wasn't 100% but I'm really thrilled for you that you have one. It must feel comforting. Plus another collection round to go, right? All fingers crossed for you 🤞 xx
Yes, that's right, well remembered- I have another egg collection to go first before any transfer would take place. Thank you for your lovely message and enthusiasm xx
So happy for you Skittles, having tested embryos transfers has good chances of success and if you get a BFP it gives you the extra piece of mind for pregnancy. I will have everything crossed for you hoping this is the one. 🤞
Took us 10 rounds to get one normal ..first 5 only one egg each round, last 5 with different Doctor 2-4 eggs each round. The one normal is the only one we ever transferred over Teo tests and 10 rounds ..she is 4 months old lying here. Pgt so important.
Really appreciate everyone's comments. Nobody in my network of friends and family would understand why this is a big deal and why its exciting, and having to explain it all would be extremely tiring! So it's really nice to come on here and be amongst people that just understand and can say the right things xx
