one blastocyst only!!!

[Kate2468]

has anyone got success stories from getting very few or no blastocysts to then getting more second Round

I thawed 16 of my frozen eggs, did Isci, 12 fertilised, 8 on day 3 , then only one 4CC on day 6

My boyfriend semen analaysis and dna frag is normal

I’m 33 he is 34 no issues. Eggs were from when I was 30

Can this just be bad luck ? Or is there something wrong . Clinic have said try again with next batch of eggs just looking for some success stories to give me some hope! Thanks

I had 12 Fertilised eggs from. ICSI. Had 2 embryos by day 6. One 4BB other 4CC.Im. Currently pregnant on first cycle first egg with the 4BB.

Keep the faith, you are not out of it yet x

Awww amazing! Unfortunately my 4CC didn’t implant! But going again but feel like we won’t get many embreyos again!

Hey, my first round I was 33 (amh 5.8pmol) I had 9 eggs collected only 3 fertilised normally, on day 5 we only had one early blastocycst. On my 2nd round I was 36 (amh 3.6pmol) I had 18 eggs collected and on day 5 I had 3 good quality embryos and and 2 more good quality on day 6, so total 5 good quality embryos.

So things can change alot cycle to cycle, and amh being lower does not always mean less eggs.

Good luck on your next cycle ❤

hi Kate, i had similar numbers on my first round - 13 eggs, 10 fertilised with ICSI and just one 4BC embryo at the end (frozen and not tested)

Just did a second round with PICSI this time - 10 fertilised, 3 embryos at the end, 1 of which has been found to be ‘normal’ after PGT-A testing.

Because we had the same consistency of fertilised eggs im not sure if it’s the PICSI or other factors (eg. Luck). The embryos were of worse ‘quality’ but I don’t pay too much attention to that good luck on your next round!

[Kate2468 in reply to cass1063]

Oh that’s good so much more embreyos on your second time with PICSI? What do you mean worse ‘ quality’ as in the grading ? Good luck

To you too

[cass1063]

yep the grading was worse! But relieved there is one that made it out as normal!

PICSI was the same cost and although not proven to have any positive effect compared with normal ICSI, it seemed to help us worth an explore with your doctor!

oh thanks will look into this. Our doctor has suggested ismi next time!
