Success stories with Day 2 transfer?

[RedA28]

Hi all

I'm currently going through my 5th ICSI round - we had success with our 4th but unfortunately miscarried. Yesterday was egg collection and I was riding high afterwards because I got 13 eggs which is more than I ever had before... then to come crashing down to earth today when we were told that only 5 of those eggs were mature and only two have fertilised. As I always have done double transfers, they have decided to transfer tomorrow (Day 2) as there are only 2. I'm feeling a bit deflated - I know it only takes one but it feels like our chances have dramatically reduced and as this is also our last round I feel a bit like it is doomed.

Any success stories from a Day 2 transfer and/or cycles where egg maturity and fertilisation wasn't that great? I feel like I need my hope boosting to get through the 2ww without feeling completely defeatist!!

Thanks in advance xx

I don’t have any experience with a 2DT I didn’t get offered it in my last cycle. Like you I got a lot of eggs last time (10 the most I ever got ) then the following day I got told that only 1 fertilised then unfortunately it didn’t make it to transfer, I know it feels deflated. I wonder if it would of worked if it was Where it should be from day 2 though. We’ve gone on to do another cycle. wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow. Xx

Yes, me! I had IVF, got 4 eggs, only 2 mature, only 1 fertilised. Day 2 transfer, now I have a 5 month old baby! The whole thing is bloody stressful and I don't envy you. But, it really only does take one and you know you can get pregnant. Like you, I also miscarried the time before and was gutted. I'm sorry that happened to you too.

Try and relax, do things that you think might help just to help you psychologically (like my friend said to have a higher protein diet so my husband kept feeding me peanuts 😂) and don't test early!

Good luck!!!! X

That's reassuring, thank you (and congratulations!). I had both embryos transferred yesterday. Apparently they had been irregularly dividing so they weren't too optimistic to be honest and I had a bit of a wobble yesterday. But today just trying to be pragmatic but also hopeful. Perhaps they'll do better inside me! Thankfully I've got a busy two weeks ahead so plenty to distract me in the 2ww.
