Tell me what you know about 3bb... ET today

I had my ET today, they transferred 2 3bb Blasts back in.  I know from my readings that 5aa is the best but the embryologist seemed to think they were growing just fine they just were slightly immature.  They also said my other 3 may not make it, they are calling tomorrow to let me know if we have any to freeze or not.  I am trying to say in the here and now and pray that these 2 little ones stick.  Pineapple and Gatorade is my new diet.  Just kidding... :)

    I haven't read up much on blast grades.  I was kinda annoyed I didn't get much info when I asked the embryologist about it, so if anyone knows of a link to some good info, that would be great.  But mostly I just wanted to say I have my FX for you and hope your little ones snuggle in nicely!


    Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
    IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
    IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
    Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
    Camila Josephine arrived 4/30 :)

    My doc also stressed that "transfer grade" is what you're aiming for. The grading system says that a 5aa will perform better in theory (based on research) but my doc has seen many highly graded fail and medium graded succeed. If they're good enough to transfer you've got a shot! Good luck!!

    Natural FET in May cancelled because the universe hates me my hormones were not cooperating.

    @ejrobbi, best of luck to you! Don't worry about losing the 3 others right now, stay positive for the two you have and fingers crossed they both stick for you! :) I know way easier said than done since I haven't even started my protocol for IVF #1, but know I'm rooting for you!!

    @ejrobbi think of it this way....it is hard, VERY hard to grow an embryo in the lab.  The slightest variation in conditions can affect their growth. But your uterus was designed to do the job:)  Fingers crossed for you!
    I love this response. 

    Fingercrossed and good luck.I know it's really scary to not have frosties but the uterus is magical and you've got two chances.

    We had 3BB and 6BB embryos to transfer. We went with the 3BB. We are hoping it sticks around for the long term. Best wishes to you.
