Feeling low and losing hope

Apologies in advance as this is more of a rant out of sheer frustration!

We had egg retrieval this week (day 0) we got 5 eggs

Day 1: got call to say 4 fertilised and 1 fertilised abnormally which has been discarded

Day 3: 2 appear normal so far and 2 are abnormal/have fragmentation, however they said continue the progesterone but be prepared for cancellation call at the same time πŸ˜₯

Now I am super anxious and feeling very disappointed and sad. Worried how I will cope if the last 2 don't make it to transfer and beyond (as this is our last go at trying for our own family) and I'm desperately praying for a miracle.

Feeling frustrated at my situation as I know other people who have children already that they didn't have to do anything for yet those same people neglect and abuse said children and are still continuing to have more babies effortlessly!! It all feels so unfair and makes me so mad.

Hi Kit, i just wanted to wish you all the best of luck! I hope you're 2 embryos make it!! it's nerve wracking to go to through this process, it's hard on the mind and soul, and like you say it's just not fair, but please be kind to yourself and try to control those thoughts as they'll do you more harm than good (been down that rabbit hole already). Try to take one day at a time and be kind to yourself, and hopefully tomorrow will bring better news. sending you loads of hope and positive vibes your way xx

wishing you the best of luck, statistically at least one of your embryos is likely to make it to day 5 or 6. Keeping you in my thoughts

Don’t give up hope!!! Try and stay positive. I know it’s hard, after all the effort to get eggs… I think we all dread those calls from the embryologist.

There is every chance those 2 good embryos make it, will be thinking of you and willing those embies on!!! Come on embies you can do it!!!

Thank you ladies, I really appreciate all your hope and positivity πŸ™ I think I just needed to hear some words of encouragement/support to pick myself back up again.

Trying to think good thoughts and stay busy! xx

Good luck lovely, sending you all the luck in the world. I hope this round works out for you and you get your miracle baby.

I know it's so hard to see it happen for others especially when they don't take care of their children. It's really unfair but I hope your turn is soon xx

I had two with fragmentation on day 3 and both ended up 5AA embryos, one of which ended in a positive pregnancy. Unfortunately it ended in miscarriage but shows there is hope
