[LvnEmbryos]

Hey ladies, I am new to the forum.  I am an embryologist, and often come across people who don't really understand the embryo side of IVF, so I joined to help in whatever way I can...and of course pray for all you ladies hoping for a BFP!

I have a question about embryo quality.  If a person has low quality embryos (only 5-6 cell on day 3 and all fragmented) does that mean a higher chance of chromosomal abnormalities if the embryos implants and develops into a fetus?
Thanks!

Ok so I am 7dp3dt - getting a faint positive First Response Early Response test.2 times.....I triggered 2500 Ovidrel 12 days ago........I took a cheap walmart brand test 4 days ago and it was negative.....so hopefully most of the trigger was out of my system then.....What is your take? Can I be happy yet?

It's Sasha here.  Unfortunatley, none of my 6 eggs implanted.  Thanks for the information by the way.  We will continue with IVF for a few more cycles hopefully.  Can you please still get the success rates for 42 year olds at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio?  Thanks!  Also, I believe my cycle should come on in a week or two.  What is your opinion on ttc on my own while waiting for the next IVF cycle?  Should I try to figure out when I'm ovulating and go from there?

Okay...this 2 ww will kill me yet....they called today day 6 to let me know that all 5 of my embryo's didnt make it to blast...she said that they got real close bt didnt make it.  SO now I worry that the ones they put in arent gonna make it.....they tried to assure me that they are in their natural enviroment and it is total diffrent than being in the culture.  I hope they continue to grow.....they were both great quality.  Any reassurance that I should compare the ones on the inside to the ones that were on the outside.

Hello.

I'm not sure if you ever answered this.  I tried to read the entire thread, but it is bit overwhelming.

I'm 38.  I've had 3 failed IUI's and 2 failed IVFs.  During both of my IVFs, the embryos (3) were all high quality and my lining looked good.  They were all transferred day 3 with 8 cell, 8 cell, and 6 cell.  Everything was optimal and best as it could be.  So, what could be the reason(s) that the embryos will not implant?  

I have an unexplained infertility.. except old age :( .  I'm debating whether to try one more time or just let go.

Thank you soo much in advance.
