Saffy, we decided not to do back-to-back because of Christmas (We have 20 + coming here for lunch and DP didn't want a potential bfn upsetting us both). But, if my body behaves, I May be able to fit a stim in starting the last week of December.
In the meantime I am upping my exercise, trying to shift some kilos and stuffing myself with supplements....I take 17 tablets in the morning, plus 10ml of uterine tonic and then another five tabs and more uterine tonic at night!
The transfer went well today. I had 2 early blastocysts transferred. This is better than the last 2 times as the embies have been a bit behind development wise. At this stage none of the remaining embies were suitable to freeze.
Best of luck Saffy, Meredith and Maruschke.
RhiChiChi sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle.
Janie Hope you're able to start your next cycle soon.
N2L Some times its good to take a break. I did that this time and feel better for it. Hope this one works out for us both.
Well the decision ended up being made for us. Of the 5 fert, today 4 are morulas and 1 is a blast, so the blast (BB quality) is going in and the morula's are being cultured to day 6 in the hope of freezing some. Kinda disappointing . Transfer in 45 min.

Does anyone know how good/bad it is when the embryo's are only morula at day 5, instead of blast? Do they have any potential to stick if they grew to blasts on day 6 and were frozen, and we did an FET? I was a bit shocked to hear that all four remaining embies were only morulas.
By the time I got to transfer my blast was hatching, what is that?

They aren't going to be frozen unless they reach blast tomorrow.
I feel strange about my embryos. I thought I would feel really attached to them, like they were my precious children. But I don't. I really struggle to feel anything about them at all apart from an expensive potential we have created. Weird?

Hatching blast is the best it is ready to implant!!!!!
You might end up with Day 6 blasts from the morulas, I had 2 last cycle, am in the process of using them now, my first didn't work, will know about the second in a few wks!! People do get UTD from day 6 blasts ( someone on here is pregnant with twins from 2 x day 6 blastys).
HB - well done on your 2 blasts - lets hope you don't need any frosyies anyway
Marushke - A hatching blast is fabulous - never had one of those but it means it is well advanced in development! Hoping some of your morulas make it to freezable blasts (but only as a just in case cos sounds like you have a goodie inside already!)
Today ended up a loong day, what with pre and post transfer acupuncture plus late transfer. Just really glad my acupuncturists now treat at the clinic (just a few lift rides up and down for tx and transfer). Had 1 expanding blast transferred - would have hoped it was a it more progresed but I think DD or her twin was just expanding. We had 6 early blasts still going but not at freezable standard whilst I was there. Will find out tomorrow if any were frozen later this afternoon or by day 6.
NOw we all just head into the dreaded TWW.... ho hum.... try to think of anything but the twinges and cramps down there!
We got our final lab report back. Of the 4 morulas, 2 stopped growing, 1 grew to blast then badly fragmented, and 1 grew to a BB quality hatching blast and was frozen.

Great that you got a good quality frostie Marushke -always nice to have one in the bank -so to speak.
Well our final report got us 2 frostie blast bubs - doesn't sounds great from a starter of 20 embryos but even a few years ago we never got more than 1 and given my age, I am reasonably happy with that. Hoping we won't need them ( and we get the dilema of donating) but I do feel more content knowing they are there and at least this cycle's "batch" must have been reasonable quality
