IVF transfer

HI
I'm undergoing IVF treatment. Only one embryo (high quality) of 2 cells was transfered on Monday. Retrieval-collection was made on Saturday. does the fact that the embryo were only 2  cells decrease my chances of getting pregnant?
thank you,
md

hi everyone
new to this site but so glad i found you all. i had first fet yesterday. doc transferred 2 grade 2 embies. i had a five minute recovery right after on OR table, then peed (sigh!) then sat in recovery room for 20 minutes, then went home. walked a bit throughout the day maybe for about 11/2s hour getting dinner, answering door etc. most of  time was spent mostly sitting upright watching videos, surfing.

i'm worried even that might have been too much to do. i'm taking things easy now just hope it's not already too late.

stupid question but can i shake these little things out of me just by walking?

thanks. unfortunately, it didn't hold... i guess will discuss the result with the doctor. I'm older, 42, so my chances were not that great to begin with...

My doctor says that the utherus is a better place for the embryo to grow, if it will grow on the other hand, its a nicer enviroment.
I am carrying also a embryo that was transferred only 2 cell, and another one 4 cell, but he said that both are just as likely to attach..
best of luck

Typically transfers are done on day 3 or day 5.  Your transfer was on day 2 so it's hard to say how your chances look since lots of embryos are 2 cell on day 2.

I hope ivf works for you!!!
