Yesterday we transferred two 2AA embryos. Are these good quality? I’m so confused I’ll this number letter system. I…

Probably depending on the grading system your fertility clinic uses. With my last clinic in Cincy Oh instead of 1-6 grading they used 1-5. I had a blastocyst that was graded 3AB considered a expanded blastocyst and at my current clinic it was bumped to a 5AB the day of transfer because of Assisted hatching. If it wasn’t hatching it was sitting at 4AB and that’s considered a expanded blastocyst. If your clinic uses a 1-5 grading system then Its a full blastocyst if this were grown through day five and 2AA is good quality!! We’re these 3 or 5 day embryos?

@baby04ever, I did a 5 day transfer. My dr was happy with It even when I talked to him yesterday about It. Hoping these take bc I don’t have any frozen. 😞

@smitty, These are good quality and chances are pretty good because you transferred two! Come to think of it with my fresh transfer we had two embryos that were 1BB and 2BB day 5 embryos. One stuck and she just turned two! We had two embryos left over that needed an extra day so one ended up being 3AB and the other 3BB. However one ended up missing so we ended up transferring one and I’m currently pregnant with the 3AB. These were graded at former clinic using 1-5 grading system. Have you asked the embryologist which grading system they use?

@baby04ever, they didn’t explain the grading system. My dr just reaffirmed what he said on Monday in that they were quality embryos and he had high hopes for them. Thank you for the wonderful advice/direction. You’ve given me some hope back that I had lost these last few days.

@smitty, I concur with your RE! I’m crossing my fingers and toes that it turns out positive! How many days post transfer are you and when’s your beta?🤗

@baby04ever, I had my transfer Monday, so I think that makes me 4dp5dt today. Beta is a week from Monday.

@baby04ever, thank you so much!!!!

@smitty, How many days is your beta? We have a private IVF group and I’ll add you! It would be nice to have a channel specific to IVF but they’re working on it. There’s a group of wonderful ladies and they’re very supportive and a wealth of information.

Thank you so much!!!! 😁😘

@baby04ever, can you add me too please?

@smitty, any updates?

Spotting today. So really just confusing me on what is going on. I tested yesterday at 7dp5dt and It was negative. My progesterone was 21 today. Dr said just keep on same path. Beta next Monday.

Got a vvvvvvvvvvfl today. Not sure if this is an evap or real. Still spotting really light. We’ll see over the next few days.

@retroskylar, @smitty, I’ve added you both to the private IVF chat group. It was originally created when we all moved over from B.B. to give us a place to keep in touch with each other. We are more than happy to have you join us!😁

@smitty, hmmm I’m thinking it’s implantation spotting? What type of progesterone are you using? My RE recommends Progesterone in Oil because it’s given higher successful pregnancy rates. You’re still early so those numbers will rise. As for the faint line I believe that’s the start of your bfp!! Can you post this same pic in the private IVF group so the other ladies can see it? Introduce yourself and don’t forget to mention how many days post IVF you are. I’m so excited for you!👏🏽💃🏽🤸🏽‍♀️

@baby04ever, My bleeding is a bit heavier. I’ll test in the morning and see what we see. Should be darker if it’s real. I am using progesterone in oil.

The progesterone should prevent your period from starting if you are not pregnant. Bleeding could be from implantation bleeding or irritation from the procedure. Some people could start their period on it, but most need to stop before their cycle will begin.

@smitty, I’m checking in to see how you are? I’m dying to know if your next test is darker? Let me know either way... 🤗

@baby04ever, Hey!!! I haven’t used another first response but my bleeding has got a lot heavier. And my cheapies have been negative. I have beta on Monday 😑. I don’t want to do It but I know my clinic wants to close the chapter on this. I go the 5th to talk to my old RE (he’s more expensive but I feel more comfortable with him). I’m going to try to order meds before switching jobs on July 10 (trying to use up my remaining lifetime max on infertility). Hoping for a different outcome next round.

@baby04ever, Thank you for checking on me. I appreciate that more than you know. This is a lonely road at times and feels good to not feel so alone.

@smitty, Everything will be ok! What were the results?

@baby04ever, Negative. We will be trying on our own until end of August.

@smitty, oh sweetheart I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can say that will help you feel better. This isn’t the end of the road to motherhood. I’m glad you’re not giving up and have a new plan! Failed cycles suck but you’ll get your baby(s) soon! Here’s a big hug!

@baby04ever, Thank you. I’m very lucky in that I do have a 2 year old to keep my mind off things (she is a rainbow baby after several medicated cycles after my ectopic). My husband and I will try July and August ourselves. If that doesn’t work, we’ll do IVF beginning at the end of August. How are you doing? When are you doing your next transfer? Hugs to you too. Thank you for all your support as you’re going through your own trials. That’s the sign of the strongest woman out there!!!

We did a FET transfer back in March and I’m currently 17wks5dys. I’m doing pretty good now in the second trimester. Thank you for asking...

I’ve got two girls ones five and the others two and I’m excited this ones a boy! Im high risk because of my cervix so there’s a lot I can’t do like lift anything over 20ibs but hey at least I’m not on bed rest with this one!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed it works either on your own or by your cycle in August. With my last we did our cycle in August and she was born in May 2016...

You’re still welcome to join in the private IVF group anytime. Most of the ladies have welcomed you with open arms! This process can be a harrowing journey but that doesn’t mean we have to do this a lone. Even though I’m currently pregnant I still support other ladies who are going through IVF when I can because I had so many ladies supporting me that I felt it my duty to help others!

Hang in there!🤗
