Oh, blastcysts...

The blastocysts did not enjoy their thaw. Siiiiigh. The 6 days that were the poorer quality crashed and burned, no surprise there. But the 5 day blasts we had more hope for, did not come through the thaw very well. Sighhhhhh. I can't recall much of what the embryologist said, but they both lost some cells in the thaw, he may have said about 25% loss of cells? One looked like it had sort of collapsed down on itself. So, our chances look not that promising, sadly. I hate to think that's how this whole batch of embryos will end up. Except for the two embyos floating in my uterus now, that's it. No more embryos left. I had really hoped this batch of embryos could have ended on a better note. Now I feel like I don't even have a fair shot at the 2ww. I don't know what else to say at this point. Calm disappointment. I dread the process of starting all over again from scratch. Which clinic should we go to next time? In Canada or the US? How much is this going to cost us this time?

Did the transfer go well?

I'm sorry you had to use all your 'stock' to make it to transfer. The 2WW is bad enough without having to doubt whether the embryo's were even viable going in.

Sigh.

I will hope for you and those embryos.
