reduced success if none to freeze?

[dublinmask]

I have a question - I am really freaking out. I am 3dp3dt, 2 embryos, 1 grade A 8 cell and 1 grade B 7 cell (except my dr doesn't grade, but that's what he said he WOULD give if he graded ??). They retrieved 9 eggs, 4 fertilized. I found out the other two didn't make it to blast (on day 3, one was grade b 7 cell, the other was clearly bad 4 cell, dr said would def nt make it), so none to freeze. Been trying to stay positive during 2ww, but this makes me feel really low. Does this significantly reduce my chance of success if embryos couldn't even make it to day 5? I am 33 yr old, this is my first IVF, had tubes removed for hydrosalpinx.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much.

This sounds like a questions a dr could answer. This is the center we used and the Dr answers all the message board questions.

Quit stressing. Everything is going to be okay. three years ago I went through my first IVF. they retrieved like 9 eggs, with only 5 fertilizing. We did a three day transfer, transfering two. The other three did not make it to freezing. I remember being fairly upset, but only for 2 weeks. After my 2ww, we found out I was pregnant. We now have a beautiul daughter. They only transfer the best eggs, so keep the faith. Let us know if you end up pregnant.

thanks so much for the responses. it is HUGELY reassuring to hear others opinions, even though i know rationally i should not be stressing. I sailed through the Lupron, the stims and the trigger shot, but these progesterone shots are really doing a number on me - physically and mentally. really appreciate this board.
