I had a FET from a DE cycle yesterday. Out of 3 embryos, 2 thawed out. When they were frozen, one was a 5AB (hatching blast) and the other one a 4BB (fully expanded). When we got a picture of our embryos 2 hours after the thaw, they looked nothing like when they were frozen . They didn't fully re-expand, but our embryologist told us that 100% of cells were thawed out and that the embryos were still growing. According to him, one looked better than the other.
Do you think I have a chance? How long do your clinics wait between the thaw and when the embryos are transferred? Is 2 hours enough? I feel like if they waited for 4-5 hours, like at some other clinics, then they would be in a better position to tell which embryos, if any, are viable and can produce a pregnancy.
A little history on me: I am 34 and have been ttc#1 for almost 10 years now. I've gone through 7 IUIs, 5 fresh IVF cycles with my own eggs, 3 fresh IVF cycles with donor eggs, and this is my second FET. Three pregnancies (chemical with my own eggs, triplets and a blighted ovum with DE) and no live baby. My only d/x is endo.
Thanks,
