And nor does that of IVF. The phone call this morning resulted in no transfer. There was an option to transfer one of the embryos but it would have been an extremely low chance of working, so the decision was to carry on trying to grow it in the culture and see what happens. There are 2 others left, which are also being given the chance to develop by tomorrow. If any of these develop to the correct stage tomorrow, they will be frozen and transferred at a later date.

The embryologist is contacting me later today with an update. By leaving them until tomorrow, we will also have a better idea of their viability.

I’m not going to lie, it feels like a massive kick in the gut. You start questioning whether you’ve left it too long. I know it’s not completely over but with every phone call, I feel the chance slipping away. But then I read stories of women who have all their embryos go tonday 6 and they have gone on to successful pregnancies! The embryologist and I both agreed a crystal ball would be great right now!

Anyway, I’m off to raid our stash of chocolate buttons!

Stay safe and ciao for now.
