hi all,
First time posting and needing to hear from others with similar experience. Please help
My partner and I have just completed our 3rd round of icsi. The first round we got one embryo make it to transfer but it failed. Second round we got a poor response and none of the 4 eggs were suitable for transfer. This is our last cycle and we were told any resulting embryos from the 6 eggs retrieved would be frozen as my uterine lining was too thin for fresh transfer.
They called today, day 1, and said 3 had fertilised and they would be freezing them today.
I’m a little confused as to why they wouldn’t wait until blastocyst before freezing and when I asked I was told it was so I had something to freeze.
I’m now really anxious that we are freezing embryos that may not even make it to day 5 and transfer which seems like false hope.
I have really struggled with all the medications and we have had 3 cycles in 3 months due to my age and funding. The thought of having to go through loads of drugs again to get ready for transfer and then the frozen embryos not making it to blastocyst is really daunting and I don’t know if I can do it.
I would in theory have all the drugs and scans to then be told last minute that there is nothing to transfer as they didn’t make it to day 5.
Most of the things I read said they freeze at blastocyst.
Does anyone else have any experience of this? I’m so anxious and don’t know what to think
