Slower growing embryo

[Mrsjaytee]

Hi

I feel like I am never off this site looking for positive stories.

My final outcome is 1 day 6 blasto, suitable for PGS-A testing. Has been biopsied & sent for testing. I’m now waiting for results (in about 2 weeks)

The embryologist said that whilst it is a lovely looking embryo, on a scale of 1-10 on the care map process, it only scored a 2, meaning that it was slower than most to hit each milestone.

She said it still has a chance to pass testing, but it would be lower than one that hit the milestones quicker.

Anybody got any similar experiences?

I can’t comment on the pgta bit but my current pregnancy is a day 6 embryo with a care maps of 2. The embryologist told me care maps isn’t as accurate with day 6s.

I shall keep my fingers crossed for you

aw thank you. That’s great news. Congratulations!!

I really hope so. I wasn’t going to test but my husband just wants to reduce the chances of us having another miscarriage.

Great to know about the care map thoughts though. Gives me a little extra hope. Was feeling pretty deflated before. x

I completely understand! Miscarriages are brutal. If your embryologist says it has a chance, then it does!

It's definitely possible that your day 6 will come back normal after testing. I've mostly had day 6 embryos (never had a day 5 ready for testing) and a good proportion have tested normal - and I'm in my mid to late 30s. Day 5 and day 6 chromosomally normal embryos have comparable success rates if transferred in a frozen embryo transfer cycle. Good luck for your test results!
