I had my day 5 report yesterday. Before the cycle, under the assumption that I would probably get 12-15 eggs, we were planning to do a fresh transfer of one embryo, then PGS test any remaining blasts before freezing. I posted a few days ago about possibly changing to a freeze-all cycle if we ended up with only 1 or 2 blasts.

To recap: I’m 31 with unexplained infertility, and I’ve never been pregnant in 2 years of trying. My ultrasounds during stims showed 15 follicles, but only 8 eggs were retrieved. Of the 8, 7 were mature, and 5 fertilized normally. We were worried that only 1 or 2 would become blasts.

BUT THERE WERE THREE!!! Three high-grade blasts! We did a fresh transfer yesterday.

We also have one early blast and one morula that they’re watching for further progression. Our doctor sounded hopeful that the early blast could progress but was less optimistic about the morula.

Did anyone have day-5 early blasts or Morulas that progressed to blasts on day 6?

This journey has been so hard emotionally. I feel like at every step we get some disappointment or delay. Until yesterday! We are thrilled that 3/5 fertilized eggs made it to blast stage!!! Praying our other 2 to progress today but also praying for patience & peace if they don’t.
