Hi ladies....I had a frozen transfer 2 days ago, which went very smoothly. The only thing that is really bumming me out is that we used the last of our two embryos and they were graded a D's....The embryologist assured me that they would like to see better quality, but atleast they were still growing. One was a 5 cell, the other a 6 cell. Both had alot of fragmentation. Hubby and I decided to go ahead and give them a chance. Any ladies pregnant with poor quality embies? Success stories needed!!!!

I'm not sure what a 'D' is - my clinic graded 1-4 and mine were grade 3 (1 is best, 4 is worse) and now I'm weeks away from the birth of my little bundle! You should feel positive and have faith in your embies - I did hear that sometimes fragmentation can help with the process of implanting so don't be too hard on your embies. There are so many factors involved than just the pure embryo quality and there are lots of people on here who got pregnant with 'less than perfect' embryos - sometimes things can be too perfect! My first two treatments were higher graded embies, but they didn't work so I'm a great believer in the underdog - don't give up - this could be it!

Good luck

Lori, I can't help with your question but wanted to suggest, to help pass the time until test date, why not join the 2ww chat thread over on the General Forum? everyone there is waiting, like you, for the waiting days to pass and to get to that all important, Test Day!

best of luck
Debra.
