Today was supposed to be my transfer day for my first FET. We got the call this morning that our 1 frostie didn’t survive. We are completely heartbroken and devastated. I don’t know what to do with myself. I guess I’m looking for a little support from people who understand how I might be feeling xx

I’m so sorry to hear that lovely, it’s heartbreaking I know... we had one that didn’t survive the thawing process and it was just unreal, they always say the chances are really small for this to happen but it seems that it does happen way to often.... I’m really sorry and sending you loads of love and hugs! Just give yourself time to heal... 😘 xxx

I'm so sorry to hear this. I know exactly how you feel. We didn't make it to transfer on our first round. Our egg stopped developing and wasnt suitable and we had nothing to freeze. It's so awful when you build everything up just to have it all stop.

I know you must feel devastated right now. Try to look after yourself and don't blame yourself (I couldn't help this and it sucks). It will take time but you will get there x

I am so sorry to hear this. We had our FET on Monday and my worst fear was that the embryo wouldn’t survive the thaw so I can completely understand how you must be feeling, it must be completely devastating and I really feel for you! Sending lots of love to you xx

I am sorry to hear that you frostie didn’t survive😞

We were in similar situation me and my husband went through cycle of ivf and it had to be postponed to fet transfer due to high risk of OHSS, we only had one embryo from that cycle, going though all scans and prep for fet we had a phone call on the day of transfer that the only one embryo we had did not survive and we were already on our way to the clinic ! It’s a absolutely devastating, i can only suggest PGD next cycle, but it’s expensive and it may come back that non of the embryos are viable.

However for us it didn’t go well either and we our on a way to have fet donor embryo transfer.

Sending big hugs xx

You are coming to the right place... so many ladies here know exactly how you are feeling. My first (and only, so far) ivf cycle did not result in a transfer. So much to go through, so much emotional investment and it is traumatic when a cycle ends in this way. It feels so cruel and so unfair.

It takes time but you will begin to feel more like yourself again. Be patient, cry and take the time to process it all. You will come out stronger. ... Take care x x x

I know exactly how you feel as 2 of our blasts didn’t survive the thaw! They had told us going into the FET that the blasts were great and quality and 95% of blasts/embryos survive the thaw so kept stressing that this was incredibly rare. It was heartbreaking receiving the call on the way to the hospital. Felt so unfair after preparing mentally and physically for long for it to end at the thawing stage. Please look after yourself.. things will get better in time.x

Hello,

I am sorry to hear that this has happened to you, I had the same experience last year, it is so difficult :( I was so angry and so devastated, all that preparation, taking all the meds etc and then that dreadful phone call 😒

Take care of yourself and try to concentrate on the future, I know not that easy at the moment ... but you will be able to move on and soldier on x

This process is so very hard, I felt that I can not do it any longer many times and I am still here (have been doing it for 4 years now).

Wish you all the best,

A x

Dear Pinksunshine...I am so sorry that your hopes were dashed this round. Cry and grieve and feel the pain and then let it go...please don't give up hope. Are you in a position to try again? If so, what would you do differently? How can you help your eggs and sperm be even better? I find it so comforting to concentrate on what I can control, and try to let go of what I can't. Sending a huge hug through cyberspace as you come to terms with this news. xx

I’m so sorry you are going through this...I know only too well the heartbreak infertility throws at you. Last September, after nearly 4 years of ttc I got pregnant with twins after a FET. I miscarried in October. Then two weeks ago I transferred two more embryos, yesterday was my official test day, my beta came back at less than 2 (strong negative) 😢😢

At this point I don’t even know what my next steps are...I dread another stim cycle. Me handling the disappointment is one thing, but to have to watch my poor husband go through it breaks my soul, he’s such an optimistic, positive person and I’m afraid this will change that about him.

Pinksunshine39 profile image
Pinksunshine39 in reply to Veebee26

I’m so sorry for your losses x this journey is so heartbreaking at times x I’m dreading a full stim cycle again too x the emotional and physical energy it takes is just so overwhelming x take some time, no decisions have to be made today. That’s what I’m telling myself x sending you lots of love and strength to get through this ❤️xx

oh my god 😣 the pain is too much. i am so incredibly devastated for you two. to get that far 💔 we just did our first transfer, got a positive, and then lost it, so we, too, are grieving, and it is just so hard. i’m so sorry you weren’t even given the chance to see. we will get through it. one day at a time. we don’t need to have the answers or know a plan yet. just lean on your community if you can and allow yourself the space to grieve. i am so sorry.
