4/7 is great, oh I hope they all continue to blast
did you think about how many you would transfer?

Thanks Sarah!

We will transfer 3 if they make it to blast - if its a 3 day transfer, we'll transfer everything we have.

I have a feeling it will be a 3 day transfer given the number but we'll see on Friday!

 

[sarahincanada]

hard to say, you've had 2 not make it but the 4 could be super strong. keeping everything crossed for you

So of the 7 eggs, 6 were mature and 4 of them fertilized. So now we wait to see if it will be a 3 day transfer or 5 day transfer. Was hoping for 5 fertilized but will be really happy if we end up with 2 or 3 really good quality embryos.

I think that sounds great Hockey!! I know you wish they would all fert, but my RE says things along the lines of what Sarah was saying too. (Example: in the case of a freeze all, you may lose embies, but they are the ones that wouldn't make it to blast--I don't know how he can say these things, but he has been at this for decades). I'm fxing all over the place for 4 good strong multiplying mad embies for you!!!!

Looks like a Day 3 transfer it is! Hope today is a lucky Friday the 13th!

Of course no information about what or how many but I'm assuming there are less embryos or there is a concern on quality or they would have gone to 5 days.

Guess we'll find out at 11am! Was really hoping to make 5 days but I know lots of people get their BFP from Day 3 as well. It is what it is so FX'd, they have what it takes to go the long haul!!

Good luck Hockey! Have been stalking your progress...as I'm starting ivf this fall

 

[hockey24]

Thanks Lillylove! FX'd you get your natural BFP this summer so you don't need IVF!

 

[ksluice]

Good luck Hockey!!! I'll be thinking about you at 11 am Kansas time. Sending you lots of :: for a very sticky embie!!!!

 

[LLbean]

Thinking of you Hockey and praying your beans stick!!!

yay you are pupo now (well its 12pm here so assuming you are similar time!!)

and there are so many day 3 success stories so definitely stay positive! They are probably going on what the other embryos have done, but the ones you transfer have every chance of going all the way.

theres a friend on here who just got her bfp from a FET, she had been told not to expect much as all her embryos were slow growers (fresh cycle failed) and blasts had taken 6 days to form to blast. I think all this grading and judging is a load of crap....I know they go by statistics but theres too many people with bfps from bad looking day 2 or 3 embryos and those with bfns from perfect day 5 blasts for me to listen to it. And really how do they know that everyone who gets pregnant naturally forms a blast at a certain time. I always say they cant see whats inside. sorry rant over!!

 

[drsquid]

hockey- yay. fingers crossed =)

 

[DaisyQ]

Hockey!! Sending loads of sticky your way. And I second what Sarah said. I know a bunch of gals on here all prego from day 3 transfers. The studies I've read don't find conclusive increased success rates from 5 day transfers vs 3 day transfers. I think the only advantages are for when you have a lot if embryos to choose from on day 3, it may be better to go to day 5 to select ones that are still growing, and so they can minimize risk for higher order births because some clinics will transfer 3+ embryos on day 3. But I don't think you have any less chance of it working...

 

[hockey24]

So we are back and we transferred all 4! YIKES!! Doctor said given my age (3 weeks shy of 40) and the number of embryos, its better to get them inside than to wait it out. It appears we had 3 "B" grades and 1 "C" grade.

So hopefully the question will not be - are you pregnant, but how many???
