Success on 5-cell or 4-cell day 3 ET's?

[babs9199]

hi - this is my 4th & final IVF.  I switched docs & the protocol(ACEP) worked better (12 follies instead of 6 on the others).  8 fertilized & were frozen (delayed transfer to make sure my lining was perfect for ET).   5 of them survived the thaw and while I was pleased with that #, I was pretty bummed to hear their growth results when I went in for transfer.  Three of the 5 were only at 3 cell w/ considerable fragmentation; the other two were somewhat better, but not where they really should be by day three  -- one was a decent looking 4 cell, the other a good looking 5-cell (minor frag on both).  They put the whole lot back in this past Friday.  

This 2ww is killing me!  Searching for any hopeful stories from others of BFP's on day 3 transfers with slow growers.  thx  :)

Wanted to post an update in case someone was like me, looking for hope in posts when they got bad grades on they embies.  I am now 16 weeks pregnant with one of those slow embies!  All looks great!!

What was your embie cell/grading this time around?  Looks like you have your beta the day after i do.  Have you had any symptoms?

Beta is on Tuesday the 21st.  Yikes!  This wait is killing me.

Hi I'm currently in the 2ww. My First IVF cycle produced 4 embies good enough for transfer of which a 6 and 5 cell embryo was transferred. Unfortynately neither implanted. I spoke w/ the RE about 4 and 5 cell embie transfers, RE stated that 4 and 5 cell transfers have been known to produce successful pregnancies.  There is still hope, hang in there :) When is your BETA?
