Im just curious as to how many cells your Embryo was on ET day??? and did it result in a BFP or BFN
Mine was 5 Cells ... day 2 transfer.... i always thought cells were meant to be divided evenly (i could be very wrong as this is all new to me) so just curious of the results
:bump: anyone ???? (i hope my post made sense lol)
Firstly after 13 cycles of IVF it may be a little hard for me to remember them all, when i was doing day 2/3 TF i recall them saying 4 call, 5 cell and even an 8 cell.
since then i have been doing blasties and dont think they tell you the cells with them, they just tell me if it is hatching?
Hope someone else is able to give you a better indication but i am sure 5 cell is possible GL
The cell divisions won't all happen at the same time, particularly after the first few.
If you consider what happens - the first cell splits into two cells.
Then each of those two cells splits to form a 4 cell embryo. If one of those 4 cells splits earlier than the rest, you will end up with 5 cells and it's still perfectly ok.
I've only ever transferred blastocysts (too many cells to count) and one day three embryo (8+ cells) so I can't really comment for sure on whether that's good or not for a day 2, but it's certainly along the way to becoming an 8 cell on day 3 so I'd imagine that it's ok.

Hi Nicki
My last were a 4 & 3 cell at Day 2 and I got a bfn. Though I did get to freeze an embryo at 5 cell, I think...... I have now started to ask more about the grade of the embryo, rather than the cells, as you can have a lot of cells, but not the best quality
Hope that helps (a little)
Hi Nikki,
My last FET was a 3 day transfer - 2 embryos. One was 4 cell, one was 5 cell. Ended in a BFP - twins.
GL with your transfer. :crossfingers: Hoping it brings you a BFP.
;) HEY NIKKI HOW YOU GOING HUN ??LOL THIS TWW IS A BUGGER HEY :lol:
well as you know were through the same clinic so my transfer was the same day as yours but i dont know how many cells my embies were but i got a BFP but ended in an ectopic,so hang in there hun i rekon your little embie has every chance in the world .
STICKY VIBES TO YOU
I don't know what they transferred for IVF#1, but FET#1 we had a 3-cell 3dt (lost a cell in the thaw) and for IVF#2 we transferred 2x 4-cell (2dt) embies. All transfers were BFN.
Should have our next transfer in 2 weeks...
Hi Nikki,
My 2nd transfer which was a 2 day 2 cell embryo resulted in a BFP :D
They told me at the clinic that on day 2 it should be 4 cells so 5 is even better.
Good luck and hope the TWW flies by for you.
Cheers,
Tania
Hey Nikki, i dont normaly post too much but i stumbled across yours and had to tell you ours. We just recently went through our cycle with a terrifick outcome!
We had an 8 cell embryo that was moving onto the next stage on day three, day three is when they decided to transfer. they where going to do a day 5 blasty but as i said, they where very happy with the outcome. And we also have a nice one put away in the freezer.
Kaz (Trinity) is now 5weeks and 1 day pregnant! :D So yes, BFP for us.
Best of luck to you and everyone else!
Thanks everyone for your replies.... its interesting huh..... some embies look like they wont make it and results in a BFP and other perfect ones end in a BFN
Nikki, I had an 8 cell embie transferred on day 3 which resulted in a BFP (I'm now almost 29 weeks), so I'd say you are right on track too :D
Heaps of GL for a very sticky embie!
Hi Nikki,
I had a 2dt of one 5 cell embryo. Spotting has started today unfortunately. I hope your outcome is different.
Good luck!
Thanks guys....Megsmum.. wow :) not to much longer till u meet your little bundle :) goodluck
Darily..... im so sorry spotting has started :hug:
just wanted to pop my head and and say good luck nikki..thinking of you
Just had my first FET after failed IVF#1 and I had an 8 cell and 5 cell put back, day 3 today.
Fingers are crossed one of them snuggles in tightly :pray::pray::pray:
