Rollercoaster - one grade A embyro transferred

[DogMum7]

Hey everyone,I've been quiet for a while as my second round has been awful. Worse reaction to the meds, less eggs and even a nurse manager making me cry in the clinic due to her behavior.

I had my transfer Saturday and the embryologist told me she had 'good news'. The one embryo that actually made it is a Grade A. I can't believe it. Last time I had 8 eggs retrieved, 2 transferred and both were grade E. Got pregnant then had an early chemical. I've been told consistently it's quality that's my issue and now I have one of excellent quality?!

It's taking everything in me to try and be realistic right now but just wanted to jump on and ask for people's experiences/thoughts as it's pretty hard not to be hopeful as I feel like the chances of a successful pregnancy (after 2 miscarriages) must be higher?

I was getting to the point of throttling someone when they said 'it only takes one' and now this feels like it could be my miracle 🥲 Only 12 agonizing days left to test 😩 xx

really hope it works this time for you! I just started my FET meds today. Won’t transfer for another 3 weeks before the dreaded TWW. Just came on here to read some good news stories and gets encouraged! Got all my fingers crossed and praying for you! Xxx

Thanks so much 😘 The TWW is the WORST! xx

hopefully this will be your good one!

I’ve just had a similar 2nd round.

First I had more eggs, 100% fertilisation but at day 5 just 2 early blasts - 1cc and 2BB. Transferred both and BFN.

Second round I actually asked to cancel it, as I had very few follicles but they started grow at the last scan, this one I had less eggs, 70% fertilisation, but then made a 3ba, 3BB,3BB and 3cc, they aren’t excellent but much better.

The 3ba failed unfortunately but it was a difficult transfer, they said my uterus was squashed by my ovaries. I struggled a lot with bloating this time despite getting fewer eggs. I had really gotten my hopes up with this one.

Sending you lots of good energy! This process is ridiculously hard and I’m sorry to hear this round has been particularly intense. I’m sorry to hear the nurse was unkind, it’s so unsettling when medical staff don’t even show the basic empathy and compassion. If you felt up to it, perhaps giving feedback might be helpful not only for you but for them also. Grade A is great and crossing my fingers for you. One day at a time x

just wanted to say I really enjoyed this post!

Sorry to hear your second round was awful. And that sounds like unacceptable treatment from the nurse manager!

May you be ever positively distracted during this TWW - good luck!
