2nd FET - Transfer of 2 Early blasts - Dr. Yuh-ming Hwu

For the 2nd FET, we decided to use up all the remaining embryos i.e. EB x 2 and 4CC x2. We thought we were all set but got a surprise on the day of ET when the embryologist told me only the 2 EB's were going to be transferred. I asked person at reception to check the ovulation monitoring sheet we handed in. She did and seemed like they missed the 4CC's written beside the EB's! She then told me that it was the doctor who confirmed that only 2 EB's were to be transferred and based on my age, she said it was too risky to transfer more than 2 blasts. We were disappointed but went ahead with the ET which ended in a BFN. We weren't too disappointed as we knew the quality of the blasts weren't optimal so we weren't expecting it to be a success. We decided to discard the remaining 4CC's and go for a fresh IVF cycle. Let's keep the wheels rolling!!!

  1. Hi, I'm going thru treatment by the same Dr. , now under stimulation for my second OPU. Dr. wants to freeze non fertilized egg till they can collect many, and they want to fertilize. Is that same in your case?

    1. Hi, do you have a low amh? Usually if only 1 or 2 eggs are retrieved, it doesn't make economical sense to do embryo transfer and the protocol will be to do 2-3 cycles until they can get a good number of eggs to perform fertilization on. My case is a bit different. Wishing you all the best!

    2. Thanks, NioNio. I just finished my 2nd cycle. All in all, I have 8 eggs and this is it as I have to go back to my country soon. Hopefully, I get some good embryos. I will ask for PGS as well(^-^)

    4. Hi, sorry for my late reply. My 8 eggs turned into 3 embryos. I guess it is my age that affected the small number(>_<). Anyway, I had 1 high grade embryo freezed on day 3 of culture, and asked the remaining 2 for pgs. One did not survive till day 5, the other made it to pgs testing, but unfortunately, they found out abnormality(T_T). So, now I only have 1embryo for ET. Praying for miracle! Good luck to you too!
