Bit disappointed
Not disappointed today as we had the call to tell us that the 3 remaining embryos which were waiting on the freezer didn't make it there. 2 made it to blastocyst stage but weren't a high enough quality to survive freezing and one sptopped dividing.
Im trying to remain as positive about this as I can as I know 3 is a great number and I guess it only takes one, but it is definitely a little bit disappointing, the more the better.. Now we really have to hope that the freezer is kind to our babies because we halved or chances today by going from 6 - 3 I just hope our baby is one of these precious threee, or better still we can get a second child out of these! !!! Lol bit of an unrealistic dream but dreams are free haha

I told you!!! ok, that\'s a bad way to start a post. Restart: I\'m soooo sorry to hear the news. It sucks to get this kind of news. With that said, this is VERY typical for an IVF cycle. We had 3 embryos only to choose from as well. We used 1 for our fresh cycle and used 1 for our FET, and have one left in the freezer. That\'s all it takes. I was FREAKING when our numbers continued to dwindle, but that is the way it works. that is IVF. Brutal, and hard to swallow, and leaves you feeling vulnerable and scared and insecure. Big hug, sorry for being so blunt, but Get over it. You have THREE amazing embryos. That\'s more than enough to potentially create a little guy or gal. Will it work? That\'s yet to be determined. IVF throws us on the worst rollercoaster of our lives and leaves us feeling inadequate in so many ways. TRUST, relax, and try to enjoy the ride the best you can. I started using fertility affirmations and acupuncture on our FET because I was so stressed out after the first cycle. I have other friends who gave up after a single cycle. You can do this, don\'t give up, don\'t give in to the fertility demons. you\'ve got this. it\'s in the bank. the freezer bank that is. TRUST, all it takes is 1 embryo. and huge hugs.
PS just as a reminder, I started with over 30 follicles, ended up with 10 embryos harvested, 7 fertilized, 3 made it to blasts. People were so impressed with the 30 follicles count they all thought I\'d have a million embryos to choose from. nope. it\'s ok. you got this.
Sending lots of positive vibes. I know you\'re probably deflated after the amount of eggs retrieved, but, I hate being cliche, it only takes one!!! I had 15 eggs retrieved last cycle, and only 2 made it to the freezer, so 3 is still a decent number. You just need to rest your body and keep positive that your baby (or babies!) are chilling waiting for you when the time is right! PMA! xx
yep i had same problem .. first time only one of my eggs made it, with non to freeze, second time 4 made it with non to freeze .. its really a game of roulette isnt it .. wishing you the best of luck
Thanks guys, I\'m okay with three, every on is a blessing!
