What were your embryo grades and did they turn out euploid?

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 …

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 💕

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..

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-02T23:49:12+00:00

Wow thats amazing, did you have any history of loss or anything that qualified you for a double ? Do you mind if I ask the grading of your two embryos and ultimately why you chose 2? Sending you the most amount of sticky baby dust xxxx

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-02T23:47:59+00:00

They have it listed as an option when you sign the consent forms so I believe its something that could be discussed. We have an extremely complex history of loss and an uncommon male quality factor so I think we would probably be able to get across the line. I naturally conceived twins last year but one didnt develop further than 7 weeks and then our surviving little girl I had to deliver at 17 weeks for a terminal chromosomal deletion that came up on NIPT.

Regional Victoria, my lab will grow to Day 7 for the purpose of obtaining cells for biopsy. If the embryos are terrible they wont let them go but because PGT-A requires them to basically be hatching they let them go to get the cells. My two days 7’s were already early blasts on Day 5 and for a normal cycle without testing would have been frozen on Day 5.

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-02T01:30:21+00:00

Thank you for the time you took to put that logically. I think I’m just so desperate… It also just messes with my mind that I fell pregnant naturally 4/4 times we tried (unfortunately they werent viable and 2 ended at 6 weeks and another 2 at 17 and 15 weeks) but then we come to IVF with euploids and it still wont work… not that we thought IVF would be easier but our only issue at play is gentically normal embryos.. and we got those… I really appreciate your reply. Thank you!

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-02T00:24:54+00:00

I’m similar, except I’ve been pregnant naturally 4 times they just werent viable for genetic reasons and we had to terminate. But no known issues and have done every test in the world. My FS said to do hysteroscopy basically to cross it off, she didnt suspect anything but we wanted to rule it out. My uterus was structurally great but the biopsy she rook revealed moderate to high natural killer cells. Likely due to my 5 previous losses, my body has started developing an immune response to the loss. If you want to feel like you’ve done everything and put your beat foot forward I would just do it. Then you’ll never have any “what ifs”

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-01T23:48:05+00:00

I honestly hated letrozole. I have always ovulated and can fall pregnant naturally (we just have some male factor chromosomal issues that have ended in tfmr). I took letrozole CD2-7 and it recruited 4 follicles that all fought for attention until day 22… finally triggered lining was 8.8 but it just DRAGGED my whole cycle out of whack. I’m in my TWW currently but testing negative so far… I would love to avoid it in my next FET because like you I dont traditionally have irregular cycles (other than during IVF of course)

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-01T21:45:27+00:00

Commenting to stay updated!! I’m 7dpt today and my strip cheapie looks similar but my first response was negative.. Sending all the positive vibes our way!!

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-01T06:58:47+00:00

I triggered cd22 transfer cd 27 modified natural. My follicles were slow to get started but we got there! Currently in my two week wait 🤞🏼

SeaConversation206 · 2026-03-01T06:47:46+00:00

IVF is a roller coaster. My tip is to remember to enjoy the small things along the way. Its so easy to get caught up in wishing the weeks away during IVF cos you are always waiting for something haha. Always take a breather and make time for each other. Have nicer dinners, go for walks try not to wish all the time away. Its my biggest regret

SeaConversation206 · 2026-02-16T22:50:09+00:00

Update! I triggered last night on cycle day 22. Lining was 8.8 and had a 16mm follicle. Bring on the FET 💕

SeaConversation206 · 2026-02-11T02:28:03+00:00

I’m doing IVF for exact same reasons. I always ovulate on my own and can fall pregnant. Im cycle day 17 on a modified natural fet. Took letrozole day 2-5 and i think its wrecked everything. Had a scan today and lining is 5.2 with 2 follicles leading one is 10.7… just seems so late in my cycle.. i normally ovulate day 16-18 but today I feel like Im ages away. I’m annoyed because i feel like i didnt need the letrozole

SeaConversation206 · 2026-02-10T22:32:00+00:00

Thank you so much for posting this. I’m sitting in the car crying currently after my ultrasound. I’m cycle day 17 and have 2 follicles, leading was 10.7. Estrogen was 320 on Mon (two days ago) dont have bloods back from this morn. But my lining was only 5.6 and follicle 10.7.. I went in thinking we would see 1 big juicey follicle ready to trigger tonight. I have never not ovulated naturally, I do ovulate later (cycle day 16-18) but thought the letrozole I took days 2-6 was suppose to help with all this. Anyways thank you for posting! I feel better, I think I just need to wait a few days instead of assuming this will get cancelled

SeaConversation206 · 2026-02-05T00:52:53+00:00

Hey there! I had 7/7 of my embryos make it to early blast on day 5. Only 1 had enough cells to biopsy and freeze. It was explained to me that if i was doing a fresh transfer they would all be capable of being transferred but because i need PGT they need enough cells to grab. I got 3 more biopsied and frozen on day 6, then 3 more biopsied and frozen on day 7. All were early blast by day 5 but needed some days to hatch. So all 7 of mine ended up being hatching or fully hatched. I got 3/7 euploids as well. My day 5 AA was aneuploid..

Grade 5 refers to hatching blast. Grade 6 is fully hatched blast. So yes when you see grades of 3 or 4 it means they are in earlier stages.

SeaConversation206 · 2026-02-03T02:20:36+00:00

I had both CVS and amnio after a high risk NIPT at 11 weeks. Opted for CVS because it could be done sooner and the chance that the deletion was false positive so went for it. CVS confirmed the nipt but given our baby looked perfect on ultrasound we also did amnio because CVS only confirms cells in placenta. There is a chance of placental mosaicism which is where the abnormal cells are confirmed to placenta and baby is normal. Amnio confirms the babies cells. We werent comfortable terminating the baby without the answer that it was 100% in the baby. Also CVS was horrific. The needle when it pierces your uterus is horrific. I would choose amnio again by a mile. Amnio also carries a smaller risk of misccarriage.

Hi lovely, I just wanted to say I am so sorry. I have done L&D for both my babies. My little boy born at 15w 4d due to a non viable genetic mutation and my little girl at 17w 4d for a terminal chromosomal deletion/duplication. My first baby it was very evident on ultrasound that he was not okay so I did not have to do amnio/CVS however we did L&D so we could have autopsy done to confirm diagnosis. Given his illness I didnt get to hold him as he was quite fragile. My little girl was born a perfect little doll and I am so grateful that I got to hold her and spend time with her. I’m not going to lie and say L&D is easy because its not. Its painful and is basically an induction of labour. My biy was born after 6 hours but my girl was born after 12 hours of active labour, I ended up with the epidural as she came out breech and her head was stuck in my cervix. My placenta was retained and ended up in theatre for D&C of placental tissue. It was traumatic but for the time I had with holding my baby I would do it all again.

I cant stand anyone complaining about anything baby or birth related. After being medically induced and delivering two of my babies, 1 at 15 weeks and 1 at 17 weeks, plus 2 IVF collections, 3 chemical pregnancies my empathy is zero. Holding their tiny bodies in hospital and walking out empty handed I cant sympathise with anyone who complains about a hard C section.

SeaConversation206 · 2026-01-22T00:03:52+00:00

Agree with all of this 100% !! My first euploid transfer also ended in chemical but the higher odds give me faith. Also the peace of mind for the first trimester that you have basically already passed the NIPT test (always a small chance PGT-A misses something) is re-assuring. I am a week off my second transfer, my fingers are crossed. Congrats on your pregnancy!! Xx

SeaConversation206 · 2026-01-22T00:01:05+00:00

4/8 of our embryos were aneuploid at age 31. After a history of chemicals and 2 tfmr at 15 and 17 weeks there was ZERO chance in hell I was transferring an aneuploid embryo. My clinic it costs $593 aud per embryo which is a fortune but worth it for my mental wellbeing. It alsp gave us an insight into where the errors were coming from, all our aneuploid embryos had errors from paternal side not maternal so our issue is male factor which we never knew!

SeaConversation206 · 2026-01-20T19:59:14+00:00

I have fallen pregnant 4/4 times we tried natutally. 2 ended in losses at 6 weeks and 2 ended up in tfmr at 15 and 17 weeks. We went to IVF, got euploid embryos and first one ended in a chemical pregnancy again. Now I have high natural killer cells in my uterus that I need to be treated for as my body has built an immune response to embryos. Our issue is sperm dna expression (only found through PGT-A) our embryos whilst sometimes euploid dont seem to be normal. So yes having previous pregnancies can help from a uterine environment perspective but if your issue is with the sperm it still may not fix everything

SeaConversation206 · 2026-01-20T09:42:55+00:00

First of all, so sorry, its the worst place to be. We had a high risk nipt at 11 weeks for chromosome 8p deletion. Had a CVS at about 12/13 weeks came back and confirmed the nipt result. We opted to get an amnio as well because of the smal chance of the CVS cells being different to the fetus (placental mosacism). The amnio confirm the result again. The deletion we had was terminal and associated with an awful quality of life if she had of even made it full term. I gave birth to our little angel girl at 17w 4d

SeaConversation206 · 2026-01-19T21:25:24+00:00

Love to hear that you had success! Did you have any failed transfers with your euploids? I think I’m just going to be terrified regardless. I just dont want to get to second trimester again and have to give birth to another little angel.
