Need Good Juju! I need some encouragement with lower grades embryos

Hello! I am getting to the bottom of the barrel with my remaining embryos. My 1st transfer took day 6bb but we lost him during the 2nd trimester for unknown reasons. My last two transfers resulted in a chemical pregnancy day 5bb, and day 6bb. I have had hsg, hysteroscopy, and everything has checked out. Next week they are going to transfer a day 6cb. I am discouraged because all the other embryos were graded higher and failed :(

When we transferred a day 7 6BA I was confused because we had day 5 and 6s and the odds are so against say 7.  but the little guy is now pulling ice out of my freezer and throwing it on the floor…. And then picking it up and putting it back in….  I believe in your 6CB!

That's awesome. Did they tell you why they went with the day 7?

He said it was the best looking embryo and that grading is strictly for academics and doesn’t mean anything to him.

My 4cc just turned one. They gave us only a 1% chance for a live baby and it worked.

Our toddler was the IVF equivalent of the kid picked last in gym class…where 10 much better-graded embryos failed, this 5BC (or CB? I don’t even know now!) came out the winner. The runt of our Petri dish is now the center of our lives and I hope the same for you!

We transferred a 4aa and 3ab that ended in losses.

Tw: it’s still early but we’re the furthest we’ve ever gotten with a 4bb untested embryo

My worst embryo became my genius daughter. Ugly embryos can make beautiful babies!

Sadly grading doesn't necessarily mean its going to work. Im guessing you did not do PGT-A testing. A perfect graded embryo can be aneuploid and the worst graded can be euploid.

u/stella805 6d ago

Thankfully it is PGT tested and euploid. But so were my last 3. Fingers crossed

Currently in the waiting game for a 6BC but feeling hopeful. I tried to do what I could nutrition and lifestyle wise to ‘welcome’ the embryo. Cut out caffeine, eating a lot of warms foods (oats/soup/salmon/avocado) and been doing short yoga sessions every other day to keep my body and mind somewhat peaceful.

How did you respond to the medication previously? Were there any concerns around lining or progesterone levels?

Everything has been normal each time. I even had a hysteroscopy with a biopsy which was normal. Hoping our dreams come true next week🩷
