38 TTC - IVF FET #1 complete

KAPicc

Hi all, I am 38 and TTC for 3 yrs.  No known issues, just unexplained, possibly due to age.  However after 5 failed cycle monitoring, 4 failed IUI, just completed my first IVF FET and now I have 6 days until my pregnancy test.  My Extraction resulted in 20 eggs retrieved, and 16 successful day 5 blasts!  Great news, yes so they say.  This cycle we just transferred a SET grade 2AA (was 3AA before thawing) and we did assisted hatching.  I know AA is good, but not sure about the 2?   Have mild symptoms but could be the Estrogen/Progesterone, daily cramping, mild nausea, tired all the time and my breasts are really sore and swollen.... I love reading all the successes on here, some of you have overcome HUGE obstacles, I hope to join the success feeds but also can't help but wonder, what my Blast good enough?

Welcome to the boards and I hope your stay is short!

If I am remembering correctly, the number has to do with kind of what stage they are (how "hatched".) AA is fantastic. Plenty of healthy, happy babies are born from numbers all over the place, so try not to worry too much (haha, I know, right?!)

FX for you!

Welcome to the board! I hope your stay is short! I have not gone through IVF yet, so I have not thoughts or advice to give, but fingers crossed all goes well!

16 Day 5 blasts from one cycle is the best I've ever heard of. Give your ovaries a high five, girl. 

Remember that Day 5 blasts are tough little buggers for surviving thus far. You've got to believe that at least one of them is going to be your BFP.

Umm, those numbers are amazing! I think your ovaries need to talk to my ovaries and give them a pep talk.  Wishing you the best!
