Frozen embryo not re-expanded before transfer, any success stories?

[sunshineandsea]

Hi ladies, I had my first fresh cycle of IVF in September, from which we ended up with 2 blasts, one was transferred at the time and the other was frozen. The first cycle ended with bleeding 4 days before OTD and a very predictable BFN. I had the frozen one transferred yesterday and we were told that the embryo was still alive but hadn't re-expanded yet which they prefer to see. It had 2 hours to thaw before the transfer. From what I've read this doesn't bode well for a successful outcome. I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this or any positive stories? I am honestly feeling so sad at the moment, nearly 3 years of infertility crap and I just don't want to feel like this anymore! Thank you xx

My last frozen was only 60% expanded and it was indeed a bfn for me, but around the same time another poster had a partially expanded or collapsed blast put back and did indeed get a BFP!

So it can happen! Please stay positive. Right now you are pregnant until proven otherwise :)

Good luck x

Hello, just in case anyone read this thread in the future as I know how annoying it is when you don't hear the outcome! It was a BFN unfortunately. I really got my hopes up as had no bleeding this time but had a negative on a FRER at 9fp5dt and again on the test the clinic gave me today (OTD). So looks like we're on to round 2 and have to find ££££ from somewhere to keep going. The hope is a bastard.

Sorry both fresh and fet failed
