So, on Wednesday I had called to see about my two embies making it to freeze, and my embryologist hadn't been in, so I talked to the other one, who had said that they made it to freeze, and looked really well, and had smilie faces and everything. Fast forward to about 10 mins ago.... My embryologist called me. She said that she had let the embies go one more day, because they had 'shrunk down' and she wanted to make sure they would open back up to blastocyst before she froze them, because if they didn't they wouldn't make it through the freeze thaw cycle. So, they apparently didn't open back up into blastocysts, they essentially died. She said they would refund the portion that we paid for freezing... woo hoo... small comfort for something not making it... I'm glad they didn't freeze them if they weren't going to make it, but what does that mean about the two they put back?  :I know, the best place for them to grow and prosper is where they belong... but still.... ugh.... please let this work out for me... I don't know if I can handle it if it doesn't.... positive thinking... I'm picturing them attached.. dividing and growing as they should be... |
Please don't read anything into the fact you had nothing to freeze. Of the two cycles that actually resulted in children for us, the first we froze three embies that should never have been frozen, because they in fact didn't survive the freeze/thaw cycle, and we only wasted money, and, more importantly, time and heartache. The fact that, had the clinic known then what they knew three years later, they wouldn't have frozen those embies did not change the fact that we still had a successful fresh cycle.
The second cycle we had nothing to freeze and still took home a baby.
They put back the best fresh embies, to give you the best chance at a pg NOW - having the rest not go to blast means only that the best ones are already in you, and the quality of one means nothing next to the quality of another, if that makes sense.
