3rd fresh embryo transfer with no embryos to freeze

[Hopefulmother]

Hi ladies

I am absolutely heartbroken

After changing the protocol and increasing doses I was so optimistic about having more embryos yet this has been my worst cycle

6 collected, 3 fertilised, 1 x 5AB and 1 pre blastocyst and nothing to freeze

I did a fresh transfer yesterday with the 5AB and preblast but I’m expecting the worst already

I feel so hollow and empty as this marks the end of my infertility journey as I’m still paying off my loan for this cycle and I am emigrating next month

Has anyone had success with an ungraded preblast?

Thanks ladies

Thank you for the love ❤️ I’ve hidden my struggles from even my own mother (whom I’m extremely close to) so it’s lovely to have support from all of you 🌸

I know its so easy to write yourself off, and I am sorry you are feeling so awful but you definitely aren't out yet. I have seen so many people get pregnant with the worst embryos and a 5AB is top quality!? So I think you have a great chance and wish you loads of luck xx

[Hopefulmother in reply to Hidden]

You are absolutely right. Thanks for the Hope I find it easier to have low expectations though as it doesn’t lead to disappointment

Hubby is against adoption and doner gametes is against our religious beliefs so this is it for me at the young age of 32 unfortunately

I know it can seem hopeless at times but these are good outcomes. My previous clinic told me that only 30 - 40% of embryos are suitable for freezing, it isn't that common to have leftover ones for freezing though sometimes it can seem like everyone has spares. I think you have a really good chance here xx

Thank you so muchI think social media is making me depressed

Seeing posts about people getting 5 - 10 embryos and having enough for siblings after just one retrieval

Like why are my eggs so rotten

[Hidden in reply to Hopefulmother]

If its any help I did six fresh collections and never had one to freeze!! its not as normal as you think xx

[Skittles11 in reply to Hopefulmother]

This is the exception and not the rule though. Not many people get 5-10 embryos to store for later off one egg collection. I do know what you mean as I have the same thoughts and feelings and in my last egg collection I had not even one viable embryo and felt like why are my eggs so crappy when I try so hard. But honestly having a 5AB is seriously fantastic, it's natural to have anxieties but your chances are really good IMO xx

My two children were both 5AB grades , please don’t give up as it’s an excellent grade . I know it’s disappointing not getting any to freeze. Best of luck to you with the tww x x

[Hopefulmother]

Wow that’s reassuring Thank you ❤️

My son was a 5AB and I’m currently now pregnant with a 4CA. Most of my cycles I had nothing to freeze and my current pregnancy was the only blastocyst we got but I’m almost 10 weeks now and baby is doing well. You have a great shot this cycle xx

[Hopefulmother in reply to Missl73]

That’s wonderful Congratulations

I think I’m out this month

Backache is always my nemesis and I have had it since last night

[Positivechangeplease]

No to the pre blast but I’m currently 38 weeks with a 5AB don’t lose hope yet!

[Hopefulmother in reply to Positivechangeplease]

I’m getting my usual backache and runny tummy that always get from day 2 after a failed transfer so I have already prepped myself for failure . I feel like my body just kills all my embryos

[Positivechangeplease in reply to Hopefulmother]

☹️ hopefully not… it could be your body is rejecting the pre blast and not the 5AB. Although sometimes also when they mix a top quality with a low they both struggle. I really hope for you that it’s all fine… and the 5AB is still tucked up safely.

[Hopefulmother in reply to Positivechangeplease]

Thank you so much for the kind wordsThat was my biggest worry actually

That the poor embryo will sabotage the good one. All the best for the last week or two of pregnancy. Pray all goes well with delivery

Thank you… fyi I had no luck with a 5AA before the 5AB - makes me think these 5ABs are made of strong stuff 🤞🤞🤞🍀
