Double Embryo Transfer

[Natalie P]

Thank you for your well wishes!!!
At the moment I feel very bloated( as you so before EC). Dont really feel like going to wk today.
Best of luck to all people out there going through the same thing....I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of us. Remember drink lots of water, don't stress, and keep positive. I have just completed 1 st term of Chi Kung. Chinese yoga...Great for meditating and relaxing and for getting your chi flowing! Hope it helps me.
Bye for now.

Hi All
I am currently wtih Hollywood Fertility Clinic and have been advised that they wish to implant 2 Blasts. Due to this being my 5th cycle and previously having 1 x day 6 Blast Transfered, 2 x Day 3 transfered and one Blast transfer all ending in a BFN, the embryologist and FS have recommended I transfer 2 Blasts. With my cycles we get good number of eggs but they drop off at day 3. Our last cycle we got 14 eggs and 2 blasts. This cycle we got 13 eggs and only 8 have fertilised correctly. I will await my call to see if they have lived to day 3 and hopefully day 5
My concern with having 2 transferred was with multiple pregnancy but the embryologist has said the risk would be low due to my history
I hope this helps

Nat that's great news for you. Things must have changed with Hollywood since from last I heard about them a few years ago. But don't discount the possibility of a multiple pg even if the embryologist is saying the chances are low - you have to be prepared that there is still a significant chance compared to natural conception.

Thanks Sushee I do think about the possibility with the multiple pregnancy but I don't have much hope that I will get my two blasties from my eggs collected. They collected 13, 8 fertilised and now we wait for the call tomorrow to see how many lasted to day 3. i dont have much hope

My last cycle, we got 6 fertilised on Day 1, on day two 3 more started dividing, so 9 altogether, but by day 3 they started to fall away, but we still got 3 blasts by the end.

8 fertilised is a great start. Don't be disheartened.
