@RunCC37 I'm so jealous you are getting a beta already. We transferred the same day and my beta isn't for another week. Good luck! Hoping for great numbers for you.
Got the letter in the mail today, no embryos to freeze this cycle. While this was a great cycle as far as mature eggs and fertilization rates I can't help but feel it was a bust as far as embryo development went. I've never not had blasts on day 5 and I've always had at least one to freeze. Out of 20 fertilized eggs and 18 embryos left on day 3 we only ended up with the two morulas that we transferred on day 5.
I think I read some where that embryo development in the first three days is the egg and after that it is embryo and sperm quality playing factors. We had both donor and DH's sperm so I'm just not sure where things went wrong. My clinic isn't great with the communication so I'm not sure when I can get answers to the questions that I have. If I get a viable pregnancy out of this I'll be happy of course, I just have lots of questions.
Sending lots of hugs to you @blueeyes233 and hoping that you get your answers. FX hard for your two embryos!!!!! I can't believe they're making you wait until next week for your beta!!!
***BFP Warning***
@AuroraP725 - my beta was yesterday.... 367 at 8dp5dt!! We are thrilled
@blueeyes233 stay positive sweets. Anything can happen with the two you transferred. I read the same thing you did about before day 3 and after. I think you need to have a serious wtf appt with your re. Prayers for you!!
@RunCC37 I had to stalk the other groups for you!! I can't believe it I'm so freaking happy for you!! It is just amazing. Fx for doubling betas!
