5dt now moved to a 6dt..

One of the nurses from the clinic called this morning (I was expecting her to tell me what time to come in for my ET) and she said they're moving my ET to tomorrow (6dt). She said the embryos are growing a bit slow, but wouldn't elaborate. Of course, now I'm worried. Do you think my embies could die overnight waiting until tomorrow. Ahhhhh..please tell me why this is happening, everything was going fine! I guess those are the joys of IF, you never know what each day will dump on you.

  1. The healthiest ones generally stand out the further out you wait to transfer. Hoping for the best.

  2. My 1st IVF we had day 6'rs. I had a BFP but miscarried but I think that was due to a thin lining, not the day 6ness. 2 of the embryos we just put in my sister are day 6rs. They survived a thaw and everything. It happens, don't want you to worry. They just want to give you the optimal embryos.

  3. Anything outside of the norm or the expected causes IF/IVF girls to panic, it's natural...we just want SOMETHING to go off without a hitch! I'd be worried too, but I worry about EVERYTHING. As far as worries go, giving them another day to mature isn't too bad. If they don't survive in the lab, they probably wouldn't have implanted. But it always feels better to have something to transfer, at least it's a chance, right? Hoping the best for you, Kelsey!!!

    My mom's small dog jumped on my lap tonight and planted one paw squarely on my uterus, it hurt. So that's my new worry.

  4. kelsey-the way i look at it, is that they wouldnt do it if they thought you would lose them. So maybe youll have even better embies to transfer. Good luck!!

    KB-omg!!! my honeybee decided to bounce on and off the bed in the middle of the night last week to wake me up to take her outside. In the midst of her bouncing she landed on my lower stomach. She weights 80 pounds. I freaked for a few days :s

  5. Kelsey- I agree with bbchi, If they don't survive the 6 day then they probably would not have survive the transfer. I wish you all the best of luck today...

  6. Thanks everyone, sorry I haven't been on until now. I went in for my transfer this morning, and all but one embryo arrested overnight :( So now I join the Lone Ranger list. I keep telling myself to be *thankful* that I have anything to transfer. My RE said it's really a 50/50 chance. He also said the embryo is of very good quality and he would rather transfer 1 perfect blastocyst than 2 of some of the embryos he's seen/tranferred. So, now I join the TWWer's :)

  7. Just about to contact you to ask how it all went and I see you already posted.

    I have my fingers crossed for you. Why did they continue to 6 days when all seemed good at 5 days? I really don't get why diff clinics do diff things. I am still yet to find out why mine does 2dt.

    Admittedly not feeling really optimistic with things here. Maybe its just the protection kicking in. Failed months/cycles are getting harder and harder. I have absolutely no symptoms. Stomach is doing backflips but that is only because I have major nerves re work. I have started in ICU now and I know absolutely nothing and I am feeling way out of my depth. Why did I want to do this? So overwhelmed! But then again I couldn't keep putting my life on hold waiting for the elusive baby. Seen as 3 years (and counting) is a long time!
