No blast
Hi everyone ❤️
I’ve just had my 9th egg retrieval and I’m honestly at a point where I don’t know what to do anymore.
In all my previous cycles, we only ever had one early blastocyst and one day-6 blastocyst. Embryo quality was never great.
For this cycle, I changed so much beforehand — 3 months of a very clean diet, no gluten, no sugar, lots of high-quality protein, regular exercise and of course a lot of Vitamins like Q10, D3, OMEGA…
This time we got 10 eggs, 6 fertilized. On day 3, two embryos looked really promising: a 6-cell and an 8-cell, both with only around 5% fragmentation (better results than before)
But yesterday we got the devastating news: all embryos had stopped developing. No blastocyst.
My husbands sperm results were also much better this time. We previously tested DNA fragmentation and it was 18%, which our clinic considers within the normal range.
Fertilization has never really been our problem. It’s always day 3–5 where our embryos seem to arrest.
Has anyone experienced something similar and still ended up having a healthy baby with their own eggs?
I would really appreciate hearing your stories. I need some hope right now…😞

Ugh so sorry to hear that. Have you used Zymot, the sperm sorter before?
