FET

JaneX - September 27

Hi there,
Thank you so much for providing all this information to those of us out there with one million questions.

We are about to have our first FET. . . A little history first . . .

On our first round of ISCI after 14 days of stims we did a 3 day transfer with 3 good grade embryos but 2 only had 4 cells and 1 had 5 cells. It resulted in a positive pregnancy and we have a healthy little boy. On our second round 17 months after the first round we got the same outcome with the same 14 days of stims. We transfered 4 embryos - 1 at 5 cells and 3 at 4 cells but got a -ve.

All our embryos have been slow growing. On the first cycle nothing made it to 5 days. On the second cycle they froze 6 at 3 days but all 4 cells. These are what they are going to use for the FET. Apparently 2 of them are excellent quality aside for the cell count. I told my Dr. that if there was only a slim chance we would rather go for a fresh cycle. He believes we have good chance and encouraged me to do the FET first. I am not convinced. What are your thoughts. Also, are there any questions I should be asking my Dr.

Thanks for your input.
Jane

I have another question. . .

Is it possible to grow eggs to blast once they have been frozen or do you have to somehow match the age of the eggs with the age of the lining . . . I really have no idea how it all works so I hope that question makes sense.

I think you should try the FET with the following caveat; the embryos can be thawed and grown to the blastocyst stage prior to transfer. They will synchronize your endometrium the same way as they would for a Day 3 embryo FET so that the blastocyst stage embryos would be transferred on the 7th day following hCG trigger.
