BFN... once again

Bozo_the_pumpkin profile image

Sadly yet another bfn for us. Now wondering if I have an implantation issue? This is the second grade A embryo that didn’t implant. This time, unlike the last time, I felt so ill and ache and cramps and a million other symptoms-but of course knowing that it is just the medication side effects.. but as I had zero symptoms the first transfer I thought that something must be different. My RE was so excited and hopeful this time.

I want to give myself every chance for success next time... which tests should I be concentrating on?

I'm so sorry for you- I had a similar BFN on Wednesday. It's heartbreaking. The lovely ladies here have shared lots of suggestions with me on a slightly earlier post here: healthunlocked.com/fertilit...

Look after yourself, it's so tough xx

Oh I am so sorry to hear this, I know how heartbreaking it is to get that bfn.

This round for us (5th attempt) I got a BFP well my OTD is Tuesday but looking good so far. We did the embryo glue and also assisted hatching ... whether these have helped or not I’m not sure. But would definitely do both again!

Good luck with the next steps and I’m sure you’ll get your rainbow baby soon x

Hey pumpkin! How are you? I hope you are feeling better. I am so sorry for BFN. It's not easy to deal with this. I hope you don't have a big problem. But don't worry, visit a fertility clinic and they will be able to help you out. These things happen but if you are patient, then things will work out for you. For now, take good care of yourself. Also wait for sometime to gain back your strength. Good luck for your next time. Stay blessed. Take care. Bye!

I am sorry you are going through this. I would advise to check out vit. D level and do karyotyping, and whether PGS NGS will increase your chances of success. x

Hi Pumpkin! How are you now? I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time. Nothing in life feels good when you are going through this. I can understand how tough this is for you. Even more hard thing than that is sharing this news with people. It takes a lot of strength for that. I hope that things get better for you. You just need to hang in there and keep trying. Everything will be fine. Good luck! Stay blessed. Take care. Bye!

Hey Pumpkin. I hope you are doing better. First of all, i will advise you to change your clinic. Maybe the clinic is not doing it right. Sometimes we think the problem is with us, but it's with the clinic we are opting for. But even after changing clinics the result is same then just go for surrogacy. You have no other option. My sister had her baby through Surrogacy so i can assure you that the treatment is wonderful. I hope this helps you. Everything will be alright. Good luck! Stay blessed. Take care. Bye!

Have you had an ERA biopsy to check you transferred at the optimal time? Often the window needs adjusting. Xx

No I haven’t... I asked about the biopsy and my RE said I could have it if I want but that the scientific research backing this procedure is not overwhelming, but it’s my choice. He suggested the 3D scan, TROMBOFILIAS blood test and Imuno blood test -these 3 blood tests are also

My RE believes the first embryo transfer failed due to a bad egg-that whole batch was quite bad. My second transfer was a good embryo but wasn’t a stickie. RE thinks that it might just be the luck of the draw at this stage but I would rather do some tests in case something is wrong

You definitely need an ERA. He can't keep experimenting with your precious embryos. It's only one cycle and width it if it saves you time on the long run.
