transfer of 3 embryos, mediocre quality - success stories?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone. My partner and I did an embryo transfer this morning. Five eggs were retrieved, 4 fertilized, and 3 were transferred. However, those three were "mediocre" quality, according to the RE (which is why he transferred 3 and not 2). We're feeling really bummed about this - though I know that people get pregnant with less than top quality embryos. Does anyone have any success stories to share?
My partner is 36. Two of the three embryos had minor fragmentation, one of them had mild-to-moderate fragmentation. Is there any hope for us?

I've spent the past 4 years browing the online infertility message boards, etc (during our quest for a baby and now for a sibling).

I've "seen" time and time again that really crummy embryos can turn into babies whereas perfect looking embryos can fail to implant.
Please do not give up hope! I honestly no longer believe how an embryo "looks" at transfer can predict whether it will stick or not.

Good luck!!
