Hello Dr. Hartman - Unfortunately, I just found out today that my IVF failed. My beta was negative.

 

I have 1 frozen embryo (3AA) at Trio and was wondering how quickly I can do a transfer. Do I have to wait for the next cycle? Can I do it in my upcoming cycle?

 

Is 3AA a good quality? Will it have a good chance to survive the thaw?


Me (38) Mild PCOS

DH (42) Male Factor, Low Count due to un-descended testicle as a child.

Hi MissyBaby,

I am so sorry to hear it was not successful.

A 3AA embryo indicates that the embryo was frozen as a blastocytst, which is the desired stage on day 5 of development. The number 3 indicates that the blastocyst takes up the entire cavity of the embryo, and AA indicates that the cells are a good number and tightly packed. This all means that you have an embryo that should be of great quality by lab creiteria. A lab using vitrification (like Trio) has excellent rates of survival after thawing, well over 90%. 

I would suggest you call your RE's office to ask when you can try again.

Best of luck in the future
