After finally resorting to IVF afer 3 years of trying for second child (first was very easily concieved), I would appreciate some points of view.
All went well with egg collection (I only have one ovary) - 13 collected, 10 mature, 8 fertilised.
The embryologist was very pleased and they all were really good at grade 1, so she suggested going for 5 day blastocycst transfer.
Everything seemed to be going so well (too good to be true I thought and I was right.) By day 4 we still had 5 good ones going strong.
Then on day of transfer, day 5 there was just one decent blastocyst (not quite fully expanded) and one not so good one and 3 that were still trying to get there.
So we transferred the good one yesterday, hoping the rest might continue over night. We got the call today that the other 4 are now all blastocysts but pretty poor quality, so none to freeze.
Gutted obviously. But more gutted that the embryoloigst said it was rare for none of them to be freezable. She assured us that the one they put back yesterday, was miles ahead of these but now I am worried about that one too. Particularly as I don't feel pregnant in the slightest.
So - because only 1 out of 8 eggs got to blasto - do you think that makes my eggs rubbish? I know not all of them can get that far but they quoted me 40 - 50%. And we were at around 15%.
I am 36.
Would really love some feedback. thanks
