4BC success stories?

The embryology lab called with our PGT results and we FINALLY have one normal embryo! After 32 eggs retrieved over the course of 3 brutal retrievals that have sent my body into a tailspin… we have one good looking euploid ready for transfer.

They called around 9am this morning and I took a deep breath before I answered, bracing for the worst. I know I should stay positive, but my history has given left gray clouds in my brain. There’s always a storm waiting for me on the horizon, ya know?

When she said one came back perfectly normal and graded 4BC. She said it was almost a 4BB but the outside cells were still a little spaced out. I began to sob and asked her to repeat herself because I could not believe it. We finally made a good one. All the horrors over the past few years and we’re finally here. The next step. A place I truly never thought we would get to.

Now I know… I KNOW… that even with one good embryo, our chances are still really slim. I know the likelihood of this tiny embryo turning into a baby is still less than 50%. Most people go into their transfer stage with a handful of embryos on ice expecting a few to not take. That’s not us though. We have one shot at this. So today I’m am filled with gratitude that I get the opportunity to continue to try. I’m going to sit in this happiness and hope for a little while.

Please share all your success stories with your average graded embryos. I need to fill my brain with hope that this one will be our baby.
