    Unhappy Reassurance needed

    Hi

    I am hoping some of you lovely people can offer me a bit of hope and reassurance.

    Here is our story so far:
    We are a same sex couple, in our early 30's using frozen donor sperm.
    Have had 3 failed attempst at IUI, with clomid.
    We are now in our 1st IVF cycle.
    Was on Puregon for over 2 weeks, as my body was slow to respond, started at
    150 iu and finished at 250 iu.
    Last Fri had 4 follies around 20mm
    Had our EPU on Wednesday and got 6 eggs.
    5 were mature enough to fertlizie
    3 ended up fertilizing.
    Today is Day 2 and we have 1 embryo at 5 cell stage and 2 at 3 cell stage
    But they are all a little fragmented SO

    We are having 2 embyros transferred tomorrow - day 3, we were hoing that we would have made it to day 5.

    I am feeling a bit down and disappointed, because nothing seems to be going right, we were really hoping that we would get lucky on our first attempt and at this point in time I don't think it is going to happen - Yes I know it is too early to think that, but it is hard not to.
    I am finding it really hard to balance positive thinking, with being realistic and kind of preparing for the disappintment when we get a BFN.

    Just wondering who has had success on either their first IVF cycle or who has had a BFP with low quality/ fragmeneted embyros after a day 3 transfer.

    I know these kind of questions have been asked before but I just really needed so encouragement and hope.

    Thanks

    Belin,

    a good friend of mine and a former LTer conceived her beautiful DD with one grade 3 (very fragmented) Day 2 embryo. Where there is life, there is hope. Don't give up yet, there is always a chance, as long as you get to transfer.
