Transfer cancelled!
As we were driving to our transfer today, we got the call that we would NOT be doing a transfer today. I was told the embryos had not reached the blastocyst stage and may not ever reach it. They will give it one more day, but didn't sound promising. I'm so distraught and have so many questions. Waiting for my dr to call me later today.?
My dr called today and said ONE embryo has made it to blastocyst! Thinking I would have none yesterday, this is incredible news. At least we can try! It's graded an AB. Driving to my transfer now! What a rollercoaster!
@lpnffchick...thank you, I'm doing some research on it now. Thank you ladies. My dr will be calling me tomorrow, I'm seriously hoping and praying for at least one!
To give you hope I'm holding my sleeping 11 month old son . He was 1 of the 2 embryos we transferred on day 3. By day 3 they should be 8 + cells, well my little guy was only 4 cells (all mine were 4 celled and considered behind but looked ok). I even had 2 left to freeze. He may have started out behind but he's ahead now! He can talk an even started walking the day he turned 10 months!
Don't get discouraged! I'm glad my doctor believed the best place to grow was back inside me! ( keep in mind this was my 2nd round because I miscarried my first time at 9 weeks and those embryos were right on track, then my frosty didn't make it either, because of egg quality. I took coq10 and DHEA before my 2nd round)
My doc transfers when they see slow growth. They feel the natural environment is better then the artificial. That being said my 3 3d embies didn't not make it.
You mentioned egg quality and counts.
Try to read up on Ubiquinol. We both took it my last ER. My quality was much improved to the point the medical director wanted to know what we did.
It also helps the guys out.
It's not a medication but an antioxidant. Just check it out.
(Using did get us out BFP)
Yes, but grade 1 means that they were the smallest quality of a blastocysts.
These bad guys grow and multiply all the time. Yesterday, the four that I froze today were not even blastocysts. Today, one of them became a hatching blastocyst.
As long as you have some left and they all didn't arrest, there's still a great big fat chance. ❤️
@jbabyforyou...that's great your other grew as well. I hope you get your BFP with the two that have been transferred! Were those two a blastocyst when transferred? My dr doesn't use a grading system like that, so not sure what your grades mean?
I cried yesterday when I transferred two 1bb embryos. Grade 1 really scared me. It's day 5, shouldn't they be bigger?! That's what I was thinking.
And none of the other 7 made it to blastocysts as of yesterday.
I got my call today about what I will be freezing. And four of them grew! Those were 5aa, 4ba, 4cb and 5cb.
Praying for you! ?? It can still happen. Pamper yourself today and do the whole best rest thing anyway. You deserve it for the emotional rollercoaster that this brings us.
No. He said if they don't reach blastocyst outside the uterus, it's unlikely they would've developed into a pregnancy. I can't help but think "what if" though. Now I'm worried about my egg quality, on top of husband's sperm count.
Thanks ladies. Dr called and he's giving the embryos until day 6 & 7. He said day 6 we would still do a fresh transfer and day seven would be a frozen. Not looking good though, embryos aren't where he'd like to see them. Just trying to get through the day at this point. I have a feeling I'll be starting all over again.?
So glad it worked out for you!!! Good luck!!
