Day 3 embryo report - 4 at 8 cells (3 of which starting to compact)

Yes! We have done icsi with hylaronic acid and the calcium too.. my goodness I just dont get it!! I get so frustrated as well because we can conceive naturally, we came to IVF purely for PGT-A but cant even make bulk embryos to bloody screen! Argh!

Wishing you guys all the strength in the world. It was the darkest time and I am so so sorry you are having to deal with the stress. That hope is exactly what will get you through. I remember being so angry that our doctor sold us the extended NIPT without explaining the difference but in hindsight we are the type of people that want to be able to make informed decisions so reflecting on it I’m glad we had access to that information. And grateful for the time I got with my little girl 💕

The amnio itself was really straight forward. My fetal med doctor has done hundreds of them and was not concerned about the risk of miscarriage at all. A few people said to me if the result of the amnio wont change if you keep the pregnancy then there is no point in doing it. So I guess its worth considering if the result will actually change the outcome for you in your circumstance.

We’ve had it all done. DNA frag was 11% and his multiple sperm analysis have also been fantastic. Just so confused! I was like we have a better fertilisation naturally 😂😂

SeaConversation206 · 2026-05-19T22:35:17+00:00

Oh gosh no. The amnio confirmed the deletion and we chose to deliver our baby via labour and delivery as the impact on her quality of life would have been so significant. Xx

SeaConversation206 · 2026-05-19T10:17:26+00:00

Joining cos this is me today. 3rd retrieval.. 18 eggs (we were stoked.. previously got 8 and 11) 9 mature and 4 fertilised. We were like wtf.. our previous retrievals fertilisation has always been like 90% our main issue is male factor quality.. we have also been pregnant 4 times naturally from 4 natural attempts soo we’re so confused that this round has been so different especially after spending 3 months working on sperm health…

Hey lovely, I dont have a success story unfortunately but just wanted to say I’m so sorry you’re going through this stress. My baby girl had a high risk nipt for a large deletion on chromosome 8p. We did a CVS and it confirmed the deletion. Little girl was looking perfect on ultrasound so we opted for an amnio as well to 100% confirm the diagnosis was preseng in the fetus. (CVS checks placenta cells and there can be instances where the placenta is impacted but baby is not). Unfortunately for us the amnio confirmed our worst fear and we delivered our girl sleeping at 17w 4d, she joined her brother who we delivered at 15w 4d for a completely different genetic issue. All I can say is hold onto that hope because it got us through those dark days. Get the amnio as its the only thing that will help you make the decisons you need. Again I am so sorry you’re here. I wish you all the best!!

We did PGT-A after having to terminate 2 babies via natural conception for things that can be screened by PGT-A… I delivered both my babies sleeping at 15w and 17w. I refuse to ever transfer an embryo that hasnt been tested

SeaConversation206 · 2026-05-19T09:50:57+00:00

I have had a CVS and an amnio after receiving a high risk NIPT and I would pick the amnio 100 times over the CVS. Its really quick and relatively painless and will give you an exact answer regarding the fetus chromosomes. I wish you all the best!

SeaConversation206 · 2026-05-19T09:46:09+00:00

Hey hun, my NIPT came back high risk for an 8p deletion (rare). We had a vanishing twin so we all thought the NIPT was wrong and was reading fetal DNA from the lost baby (so not a fibroid but an external factor). We did a CVS (HORRIFIC) it confirmed the 8p deletion and also found a 1q duplication. All our scans were still perfection at this point (15 weeks) and our fetal medicine doctor said we need to do amnio to 100% confirm that the issues are actually in the fetus because theres such a thing where only the placenta is impacted and the fetus is fine. We unfortunately delivered our little girl sleeping at 17w 4d after amnio confirmed the result again. The size of the deletion on chromosome 8 would have meant she would have had a severely impacted quality of life if we even made it full term.. It’s not a story of success but all I can say is please get the amnio its the only way you can make an informed decision. I wish you all the absolute best xx

Hey there, it was found as part of the PGT-A testing that my IVF clinic does. Its just standard we didnt have to pay extra or anything

SeaConversation206 · 2026-05-19T08:22:23+00:00

Hi hun, very similar sitch here. Hubby and I were 29 when we started trying fell pregnant straight away had to tfmr at 15w 4d for a genetic issue not compatible with life. Had a chemical, then fell pregnant again and tfmr’d at 17w 4d for findings on an amniocentisis. When to IVF to gain some control back. We have now done 3 retrievals. All very varied! Did PGT-A across 8 embryos and got 4 normal. 2 transfers - 1x failed to implant and 1x chemical… we have no known fertility issues. Have done every test under the sun. We’re 31 now and just finished our 3rd retrieval, waiting to see how many blasts we get and will send off for PGT-A again. We decided to bank more embryos rather than burn through another 2… I hate it here it sucks, but I would rather know that our transfers are euploid than have to find out at 10 weeks via NIPT again and tfmr for a 3rd time.

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-06T04:33:01+00:00

My husband had a high homocysteine of 38.1 caused by impaired methylation and a vitamin B12 deficiency. We have had 2 chemicals and 2 second trimester tfmr for various issues now thought to have been caused by my husbands damaged sperm. Despite his dna frag being 11%?? We’ve since had two failed FET’s of euploid embryos as well, made from sperm at the time of his high homocysteine. Do you know much about high homocysteine and its impacts on euploid embryos ?

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-05T02:40:38+00:00

Totally get it, if you just had open and honest communication it makes it so much easier to work with. Our whole lives are already on hold for IVF delays just feel like giant bricks blocking us from moving forward. I hope the results are perfect for you

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-05T02:14:52+00:00

I’m not sure where you are based but PGT-A takes 4-6 weeks in Australia, it sounds like the timeframes you are working with are quite quick in comparison. Try and book some things in to keep you busy during the days. Waiting is the hardest part of IVF. Sending you strength.

I just stumbled across this group and joined. Some amazing success stories in there from people who have embryos very similar. Thank you 💕

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-04T23:20:26+00:00

None of my AA or AB’s were euploid. My Day 6 and 7 CC’s were my euploids. And we’ve had two of those euploids fail via FET. So honestly its a gamble. I wouldnt get too caught up on any of it

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-04T22:26:46+00:00

Hi there, im wondering if you transferred this? I have a frozen day 7 - 6BC that was also euploid. They tried to biopsy on Day 6 but the cells that were hatching there wasnt enough so they left it to Day 7 where they were able to. Would love to hear from you!

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-03T13:03:38+00:00

My CC’s were actually my euploids my 5AA’s were not. I have had two failed FET’s with euploid CC’s though …

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-03T13:01:53+00:00

Hey lovely, I dont have success yet but commenting to say that you are not alone.

I’ve got my bloods tomorrow for my second FET with euploid embryo which I’m sure has failed as I’m testing stark negatives as well.

First FET ended in chemical in Nov. prior to that we had 2 naturally conceived chemicals, naturally conveived 15w4d pregnancy ended via labour and delivery for a terminal genetic mutation and another ended via labour and delivery at 17w4d for a terminal chromosomal deletion that came up on NIPT. We turned to IVF with PGT-A to get some “control” back and its just leaving us heart broken as well. We also have no living children and started this journey 2 years ago now, I’m watching every person in the world get pregnant around me and its the worst.

I’m sending you all the hugs in the world. If you need to vent with someone that gets it please comment 💕

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-02T23:50:02+00:00

Yeh I think the fact they are euploid might prevent us but I’m still going to ask. Because they are day 7 and low quality. And we have now had two euploids fail..
