Infertility

Home after ET

Hi!

Thank you all so much for the messages you left in my anxiety post.  The ET went ok.  We were planning to transfer 3 but, shocker, we didn't have 3 to transfer.  All had ceased growing except 2.  The 2 left were a full day behind in development (looked like Day 4s), but otherwise he said they were "not great but good." 

I'm so grateful we had 2, I really truly am.  But I can't help but wonder if my rate of embryos that die is some kind of indication that we have a genetic problem. No matter how many embryos we start with, by transfer 80% aren't developing anymore :(

Anyway, I guess if this one doesn't work we'll consider PGD for the next and final IVF. 

For now, I'm on bedrest watching the history channel and eating chicken pot pie :)

Thanks again for all of the well wishes!

  • I hope your 2 embies snuggle in!

    Quick question - how would PGD help?  Do you think there is more going on than just a quality issue?

    Quick question - how would PGD help?  Do you think there is more going on than just a quality issue?

    I'm wondering if that is the case.  I've had a total of 15 embryos across my three IVFs.  None of them have ever been AA or AB.  I've had one BB, and it was a slow grower.  Now these two were BCs and a day behind in their growth.  I just am having a hard time swallowing the fact that we haven't seen even one good embryo in the bunch.

    Then again, I don't know how normal or abnormal ours are, I just keep comparing to all the other girls online... so maybe it's just paranoia.  My RE did mention PGD for next time if we wanted to.

  • I hope the two you have are snuggling in tight!!  I'm sorry you didn't get the three you were hoping for, but my RE says that on average on 20% of fertilized eggs make it to blast... so here's hoping those that didn't make it were just part of the statistics and the two left are sticky!
