Thanks for your cheers and well wishes :-)))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2349261 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:53:17 +0000 Herrade 2349261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything @bluestriped bee said. My RE said success rates are so much better with FET, it's becoming the standard. I was never told cell loss rate either, but I'm sure they wouldn't transfer a non-viable embryo. I transferred the only embryo I had, which is now my 5.5 mo DD! She's super healthy, crazy alert/engaged and just downright knows what she wants. I joke that all the weak parts were eliminated in the freeze, and we were left with super baby (which probably is not far from the truth). </p> <p>My advice is to not dwell on what's done. It's a waste of energy, and it won't change the outcome. Easier said than done, I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2349230 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 13:38:55 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2349230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is stressful information to give you! Hoping for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2349026 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 11:48:53 +0000 BSB 2349026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was never given any loss percentage when I did my FET. Did they say this was a normal rate? I also agree that from a biological standpoint that it could be fine. My protocol was a FET only and not any fresh transfers. I've heard from my RE that new research shows FETs might be better because embryos are stronger having been through a freeze and a thaw. Meaning only the strong survive. My FET was a success and I have my 2 month twins now. Fingers crossed for you! :goodluck: </p> <p>But yeah, I would call them back and ask them if 30% is a normal percentage or if they saw more loss than usual.<br /> ETA: also, my RE said skipping the fresh cycle and going for a FET allows your body to get back to normal after all that stimulation. It makes sense to me. Definitely have to be more patient waiting for the FET. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2348905 Mon, 09 Nov 2015 10:51:55 +0000 Aqualov 2348905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea the effects of cell loss on IVF success, but from a purely biological standpoint it seems harmless. The same genetic info is in each cell, so in theory it can just divide more and easily replace those cells. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2347724 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 20:02:35 +0000 jaguar 2347724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never shared a lot of info, but I don't seem to have much luck with freeze all embryos! They do say there are is a certain cut off for what is considered a suitable thaw, so if you were below that, I'm sure they would have told you.</p> <p>Good luck this TWW! xx </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2347672 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:32:27 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2347672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also didn't get a cell loss percentage... Sincerely hoping that the remaining cells are happily dividing and burrowing in for a nice long stay as we speak! :heart: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2347652 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 17:19:24 +0000 Crystal 2347652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2347646 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 16:53:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2347646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through 3 FETs and was never told a cell loss percentage.

(I was redsmarties before, here and on WB- I recognized your username). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fet-freezethaw-cell-loss-#post-2347519 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 11:04:36 +0000 elchalten 2347519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi::<br /> We just transfered our one and only frozen embie. It was of good quality (4AB), survived the thaw but according to our embryologist lost 30% of its cells during the thawing process. </p> <p>I can't help but think that this is very bad news. I was too overwhelmed and nervous at the time of transfer to ask any questions. </p> <p>Any of you have experience with this??? Is all hope lost? Or is it fairly common? </p> <p>Does your clinic inform you or do they just tell you it survived/ didn't survive? </p> <p>It's going to be a looooong wait. Please send me some hope and positiv stories! </p>
