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

opps... just realised how many spelling mistakes there were in my post ... sorry ... think my brain is overloaded with thought of embyros, babies, hopes and dreams...

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.
