FET - negative result

Are you already tracking your ovulation to understand exactly when you ovulate and make sure you BD in your fertile window? I use the easy @ home strips on Amazon and they link to the premom app xx

I had the frozen embryo transfer after my eggs were collected because I don’t ovulate normally y

I hate to say it but sometimes it just doesn't work. It's nothing you did wrong, not a problem with the lining or your hormones, just sometimes it doesn't take.

I'm sorry. Most of the time I think it is down to genetics of the embryo or a mix of different causes, like the physical part of implantation. The problem with IVF is that we're aware of every step of conception that normally would happen and likely fail without us ever knowing in a "natural" cycle. Take care of yourself!

I also had a negative yesterday after my first transfer. You question everything and what you could have done to change the outcome. It’s painful, heartbreaking and like you said no answers. Sending love xxx

It’s so heart breaking. I’m so sorry to hear your news too. Has anyone ever heard of positive news in day 14 but negative on day 12?

Sometimes it just doesn’t work. Could be the embryo, could be something environmental. You will eventually be on the wrong side of stats if you’re at this process long enough since even tested embryos only have a 65% success rate. I have 3 year old and a 9 month old and it took 5 transfers.

Wow I didn’t know the success rates were as high as 65%. I feel extra unlucky. We also only had two embryos and one died during the thaw so feel like I’m left with nothing at all except the knowledge I’ll have to go through the pain and anticipation again. I just wish I knew what went wrong so I can change that next time .(

That number is if you tested your embryos, if you didn’t it’s lower. We did test ours and it still took 5 transfers. It’s just one of those things, it’s not a perfect science Stats show it can take 2-3 tested embryo for 1 live birth so you are in normal stats that it didn’t work. I’m sorry, it’s really hard.

Did you have your embryos PGT-A tested? Depending on your fertility factors, chances can actually be as high as 80% but that’s dependent on a LOT of things being perfect (that was the success rate I was given when we transferred our day 5 5AA last year when I was 31, but we lost it due to a SCH gone wrong in the 2nd tri). Things like age, having prior natural pregnancies, fertility markers all normal, PGT normal embryos, embryo grades (like day 5 4AA, 5AA), hormones, etc. What kind of screening did you do prior to starting with your fertility clinic? Did everything come back normal, including karyotyping, genetic carrier screenings, and hysteroscopy etc?

no I didn’t have PGTA testing because they said I was young and didn’t need to. Embryo was a blast but a 6BC. I haven’t been pregnant before and was taking progesterone (400 3x day) and oestrogen (3x pills a day plus two patches) I’m Just gutted that there is something wrong with me on top of not being able to ovulate

If you didn’t get it tested it’s likely it was chromosomally abnormal and not something with you. I don’t get fertility clinics that actually discourage PGT testing. It’s so baffling to me. Especially since most are focused on transfer success rates. Why not eliminate the chance of a certain miscarriage if that option is available. Seems like they just want to be able to charge you for recurring treatments rather than have their transfer rates be success.

There's nothing wrong with you ❤️ I know your heart's breaking and you're looking for something to blame and totally natural but sometimes it's just nature. IVF is SUCH a headfuktand rollercoaster because it's not a guarantee. It's the only thing in life you can give 100% to, do everything right and get nowhere. Effort doesn't make reward here and it sucks. It's a statistics game- the more you do the better your chances. It took me 5 transfers to be where I am the now (currently 33 weeks). Don't give up 🤍 I know it's hard xx

Thanks so much for your kind words 💖
