FET ended in chemical

I had the phone call yesterday to confirm what I already knew, my HCG levels had more than halved. We were so lucky for our first fresh transfer working first time resulting in our beautiful almost 12 month old. I think we were a little too relaxed that our FET was going to work because of how well it went. How soon do clinics make you wait between failed transfers? I’ve just stopped my meds yesterday so I’m still waiting for the bleeding to happen but I don’t want to wait months I’d rather get going again asap. I’m uk based

I’m sorry that this happened. Do you mind sharing if you breastfeed your little girl? I haven’t done my FET yet but during my post ER consultation I asked and my FS said to wait at least one full cycle. Do you still have Embryos left or would you need to do another ER?

@Sophie I had to have stopped breastfeeding before I could transfer.

@Amy sorry on your chemical, I think you can try again next cycle (although most likely the one after this bleed due to paperwork / timings etc) if you want. You should get a post transfer consultation and they will advise next steps.

@Sophie no I’m not breastfeeding I think you have had to have stopped though before transfer x

@Danielle ah okay thank you! I have another blood test scheduled for Friday just to check the hcg has gone down more incase of ectopic. Hopefully they’ll tell me about a post consultation after that then x

@Sophie we have 2 embryos left x

When I had a chemical after FET they let me transfer in the following cycle but then it was negative - we had no embryo left so had to start a new cycle which then resulted in my baby boy. In hindsight I think I should have waited after that chemical and let my body recover a bit. Of course no way I could know, just a gut feeling really.
