Hi Bindy,

I know how you feel - sometimes I think the days after EPU are even more stressful than the TWW, waiting to hear if your embryos are growing!

We got 8 eggs from my last cycle, only 2 made it to blastocyst stage. One was a fresh transfer which resulted in a BFN, and the other was frozen. I just had the frozen one transferred on Saturday, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. My FS said that only 60% of cells survived the thaw, but apparently as long as it's more than 50% the embryo is considered to have "survived" the thaw. However, some clinics have a 70% minimum survival rate before they'll transfer.

May I ask how many cycles you've had?? I've only had two, and one of those was cancelled prior to EPU because of poor response. Have you considered a small break between cycles if this one is unsuccessful?

Here's a hug to help you stay positive.

Vicki
