Can #3 FET be successful after two earliest failures

[Anya80]

Hi all,

I think I’m in need to hear some positive stories with FET after some failures with earliest goes.

I’m starting my third FET but I’m worried if FET is ever going to work for me as I had one miscarriage and one negative outcome from first two FET attempts. I had already successful pregnancy from IVF fresh treatment I’m very blessed to have my child and I’m so grateful that after 3unsuccessful IUI and one BFN on first ever ivf I became mother eventually but now we wanted sibling for our kid. We try now for our second baby but my hopes are not that strong anymore having miscarriage and negative result on FET. I might also not have chance to undergo fresh IVF treatment due to other complications in our life which are out of our control hence for now only FET is our option. I’m bit sad with this that maybe one or if lucky two attempts of FET left for us and this will be it no more hopes for another baby if this won’t work ehh

Thank you for reading my vent, if anyone has positive stories on above that perhaps what I need. I wish all of you on treatments now very best of luck 😘

I totally understand your fears around another FET, I’ve had 2 fresh cycles both BFP ending in mmc and 2 medicated FETs both unsuccessful. My consultant then suggest a natural FET and I automatically felt like it was going to fail however I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and although terrified so grateful to be in this position. I think there is always a chance xx

Hi, your story is very similar to mine so hopefully I can give you some hope. I was very lucky to get a BFP from my first fresh cycle (part of our issue is sperm so we skipped the IUI stage). I got 3 Frosties from that cycle too, 2 5 days and 1 6 day. When we decided to start trying for no 2 I was praying one of the Frosties would be successful so we didn’t need another fresh cycle. So when I got a BFP from my first FET I was over the moon and couldn’t believe my luck. Unfortunately it was too good to be true and turned into a chemical pregnancy. My second FET was an outright BFN and like you, I started to lose hope. My consultant told me that (age depending) there will always be a certain % of embryos don’t make it, even in couples with no fertility issues at all. I think for me it was somewhere between 40% and 60%. He also said that if you have one successful round it increases the chance of a future successful round. But something told me that it just wasn’t going to happen. Especially as I only had a day 6 embie left and in the previous round my consultant had strongly suggested transferring 2 in case it didn’t defrost properly (we declined on the basis we didn’t want to risk twins). When we got the call to say the embie had defrosted we were told that not all the cells had survived (never been told that before) and it was a worse grade than when it was frozen (my previous 2 had been better grades). So all in all I was convinced it wasn’t going to work. Well to my surprise it did work and I’m now 25 weeks pregnant. So just goes to show that maybe it is a numbers game. Keep the faith and hope you get a sibling for your little one.

Thank you Lynn, your story make me feel better and give me a hope I need. Congratulation on your pregnancy and I hope you feel ok and have easy going one and you and baby just doing fine💝

We still have 4embies left from the successful cycle which gave us our son. We are lucky to have him, but I just can’t rest until I try all to get him sibling. We are being classified as unexplained case. As my previous FET didn’t work, we decided to transfer 2 embies this time although I’m worrying a bit for twin pregnancy but that’s what we agreed before...I’m trying to stay calm and I’m I think, we have lots on our shoulders at the moment outside the treatment but despite harsh moment in our life on different angles we believe in our little family which give us the strength we needed in the difficult time, and I just hope we still can be happy whatever outcome of this treatment will be.

All the best to you xxx
