Fingers tightly crossed
Our embies were thawed yesterday.
We lost one, and the remaining three all suffered "...up to 50% cell loss". We don't know if they lost 1 cell, 2 cells etc... As the embryologist was very vague. They're growing them on to tomorrow to see if any of the three will make it to blast. If not, we have three blasts waiting to be thawed. I know blasts thaw better than day 3 embies, but I was concentrating so much on them just surviving thaw, I never even thought about cell loss!! Anything more than 50% loss and the embies aren't viable, so we know we do have that on our side. Let's just hope they're dividing away in the lab and ready for us tomorrow.
Our lab doesn't grade embryos as they don't think it gives a good indication of success as many top grade fail and many lower grade make perfectly healthy babies, so why add to the stress. We just know they're not perfect, but they're OK.
I've already written off this cycle in my head and thinking towards fresh IVF in a few weeks when AF starts. But until then, as of 11.50am tomorrow I will be PUPO if any embies survive.

ReplyDeleteI'm a little optimistic here. And you know I'm right there with you in the realistic world.
