    Thanks ladies but the choice has been made for me it has gone from bad to worse we have 3 of 5 injected fertilised as one was not suitable to be injected with DH sperm so we need 1 of the 3 to be good for TF monday and seeing as a lot drop off at day 3 i am worried i wont have any let alone a good grade.
    Its all down to 3 i am not real optimistic

    Butterfly-yes it make sense i will look into it when i see how these 3 go.

    LisaB-thanks i just hope mine are good enough quality i am 36 and DH swimmers are not the best so to say i am not very positive is a major understatement.

    ferrals3- Try to remain positive! We only had two eggs retreived, both fertilised and both made it to day 3! (My eggs are a bit rubbish as well due to my PCOS.) One is now currently making me spend most of the day in the loo and the other is frozen! Remember- it only takes one!!!

    We did a day 3 transfer on our first IVF cycle, and got a positive. Our clinic's belief was that it was better for our embryo to be with me than in a dish or tube.
    Hoping for some positive news for you on Monday

    Ferrals, Try not to lose hope sweetheart! My DH and I were having really bad luck too with our IVF PGD cycles. Our first cycle we got 10 eggs, 7 fertilised, all 7 made it to testing, then 2 got no results and the other 5 all had chromosome problems. Our second cycle we got 21 eggs, 10 fertilised, 9 made it to testing, 1 had no nuclei, 7 had chromosome problems, and we got one precious little healthy embryo that made it to day 5. We even have a photo of our precious little girl on day 5 starting to hatch! We're having our 12 week scan next week and expect all to be well These "bad luck" stories can have a happy ending! Who would have thought that from 31 eggs we'd only get one healthy embryo? But that one single embryo is the little miracle we want and love so much.

    Best of luck on Monday and I hope to come back in here and read your good news

    I have some good news we had an A grade 8 cell perfect text book looking embryo TF the scientist said it was a beautiful embryo.
    The TF was easy and quick we got to see our embie before it was TF and it looked awesome so i am in the tww with my BT scheduled for the 2nd of August that is such a long time to wait.
    Thanks for all your info and stories i hope i have a positive outcome like you ladies.
