Silent miscarriage after IVF/ICSI

Has anyone had a silent miscarriage where the embryo failed to develop?

Got BFP in September I had a scan at 7 weeks and then at 9 weeks to be told there was no further development. I stopped the meds and miscarried a couple of days later.

Whenever I talk about it I say I lost a pregnancy because it hadn’t developed beyond a gestational sac and I didn’t see a foetus. I find this so hard. If it was a ‘normal’ pregnancy I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t a baby yet.

We did FET due to diminished reserve and could only afford one cycle. No embryos left to try again either.

Feel broken. I try so hard to put a brave face on every day.

I’m so sorry, I had experienced two missed miscarriages I know how you feel....

also have one failed IVF cycle.

This journey has been really tough and I only hope 2020 is going to be a better year. Don’t lose hope xx

Thank-you. Although the journey is at an end, we’re hoping to start a new one next year. We’re considering adoption/long term fostering. It’s all just very raw at the moment.

Are you continuing with IVF? I hope 2020 is also better for you. xx

Catherine I’m so sorry for you and your partner that you have experienced this. It happened to me on my 2nd of 3 FET rounds and was bitterly disappointing. The silver lining though is that you CAN get pregnant, and not only that, but once pregnant your body was saying - hey, I’ve got this and I don’t want to let go of it! In our case we believe there was something wrong in the embryo to make it not grow - nature’s way of preventing things going too far I guess. The knowledge that pregnancy was possible helped us go to round 3, and at the moment I’m 21w. I hope things work out for you in 2020 x

Congratulations! I’m so pleased for you.

I was glad to have been able to be pregnant,if only for a short time. If we had any embryos left, I’d give it another go, but we were left with one at the end of the 5 days which was implanted. I do think the embryos were poor as DH has low count and motility so the quality weren’t good.

We’ll have to see what 2020 holds.

Good luck to you too xx
