Failed FET 5aa egg

sam_chris_fertility profile image

Hi, I recently had a failed ivf cycle. My egg was a 5aa and I’m absolutely devastated. Has anyone else had a good egg fail? I’m now worried that there’s something really wrong with me I.e. my body fights off sperm/ embryos

Sorry to hear about your recent failed cycle too, Im the same. Ive had two fails with really good quality embryos now. Very frustrating as these are the ones deemed the best to work but its not always the case. Ive seen some ladies fail with their best quality graded embryos and go on to achieve pregnancy with a lesser quality. Grading is really just that....grading....they cant say with any confidence which ones will work and which wont.....its just a big lottery if you ask me!!xx

Hey, we are going through IVF due to my other half having a failed vasectomy reversal and I'm (as far as I know healthy) 31 and we had a lovely top grade embryo put back for it to end in a chemical pregnancy. I tried to be philosophical about it all and think it was my body's way of stopping an embryo that wasn't quite right. So many people have this happen to them without realising as they aren't going through IVF but as we are in this unfortunate position we are so aware of everything that is going on within our body's. I honestly think it's half mother nature and half sheer luck xxx

Hey lovely, sorry to hear this! BFNs are so rubbish! You’re not alone though!

I had a BFN with a top grade 5AA embie too, it make me it more difficult as you think it SHOULD stick!

I’m now on meds for my upcoming FET with a lower grade embie but am keeping my fingers firmly crossed xxx

Sending you loads of love 💕

Hey, I had a 5AB put back in. Lining perfect - tripled lined and 7mm by day 7. The fact that everything was so perfect has made it a lot more difficult to take a bfn. One of my doctor friends suggest I have autoimmune tests but there are so many and so expensive. I don't know what to do! It's so frustrating. Time has so far not made this any easier to take in but I believe we will overcome this x

How do you go about getting the test? I’d there a useful website I could check out? The doctor I saw recommended taking steroids next time around but did say there is no guarantee that would work either? 🤷‍♀️

Thank you so much 😊

It's very sad to hear your cycle failure. But, you should not be so hopeless. Don't make yourself so weak. You must take care of yourself. If you will take good care of yourself you will recover soon. Try to be strong. You should not accept your failure as soon. There are many doctors and clinics that guides us for better treatments. But, first, make yourself healthy enough. A good health is a half cure of one's disease. And obviously, a good doctor is also a good helper to recover soon. Search for a good clinic. Visit best doctors there. Everything is possible in the world. But, you have enough courage to do that. So, good luck and take a lot of care to get your desired results.

I have no advice but just sending lots of hugs. Things will be good again and it won’t always feel like this.

I’m sure your lucky embryo is just waiting in the wings, waiting to be defrosted (or made!) and ready to nestle in. Take care of yourself - and don’t listen to any odd, misguided advice.

I also had 2 top grade eggs fail.. i blaned it on my lining not being thick enough. But i dont think i will ever know why it didnt work. Im due to ave FET in October with 2 more Eggs but the grades are not as good xx

Thank you all so much for your comments I’m glad (but not glad) to hear that I’m not alone. I new the odds were against us yet I can’t help but be so so upset. They have recommended doing something different next time around so will just have to hope that works.

Thanks again and good luck to you all ❤️

Hiya ive only just seen your post i had a chemical pregnacy with my first transfer it was a perfect egg showing signs of hatching and my second was of a similar grade and that ended in a bfn.... i had my follow up appointment with the consultant and he made me feel so much better about myself he said that it was nothing to do with me and it was nothing to do with compatibility with me and my partner, he said that the best looking embrios to the professionals may not be once they are inside and they could just be abnormal.... i asked him what about the 2 i have left he said he cant say and we just have to keep going till it works ... next time i plan on having a none medicated cycle and will do another transfer because thats the only thing now that we havent tried ... i know its hard but try not to blame your self like my consultant said if it worked first time for everyone they wouldnt give us the opportunity to freeze and have other cycles , these things just happen .. it will happen dont give up or loose hope 💖 Xx

Thank you so much for this. I think this failure made me realise that it might not happen. Up until now I was certain it would. I have been advised to add a few things on from my last round- steroids and clexine.

I would like a natural cycle but I have PCOS and endometriosis. So it would be difficult to track when I’m ovulating xxx
