BFN on second round IVF

[Ozma4]

So it was test day today. I knew in my heart the outcome before testing as since Sunday I have had brown spotting that yesterday turned redder. Plus a huge heavy weight and cramping as I get when I am going to get the mother of all periods. I am hugely disappointed but I am now going to think on questions to ask when I have the review meeting with the clinic.

Thinking on my journey this time round I actually remember feeling quite disheartened when only 1 of the 3 eggs made it and they wanted to do a 2day transfer. It had only got to the 2cell stage. When I heard that my heart sank a little and I remember thinking why would that one work when my last 2 day transfer of a 4 cell didnt work either. You have to go with what the clinic believes is best but I will always wonder what it we waited a little longer to see if it progressed more.

Anyway, my husband and I said we would have 3 tries max so we have 1 more shot.

If anyone here has any good questions for us to ask let me know. Thank you for your support over the last month.

So sorry to hear this - my heart goes out to you. Di you know why they do a 2day and not 5 day transfer? I am fairly new to all this but I know when I eventually get my body sorted out to be allowed a FET I will have a 5 day.

They said as there was only 1 egg it's better off they put it back to its natural environment than have it sit in a lab. 🤷‍♀️

A lot of people get hung up on 5 day transfers and whether the embryo is a blastocyst or not but the reality is a lot of people dont get loads of eggs and lots of clinics don't want to try and push to day 5 if there is only a couple anyway - you might as well just put them back into their natural environment. the only reason you would take to day 5 is if you have a number of good ones and you want to see what is the best quality. I have had day 2, day 3 and day 5 transfers. I have also seen loads of day2 and day 3 BFPs on here. So as you progress on your IVF round don't panic if you dont make it to day 5 - not all of us do! Good luck x

So sorry to hear about your negative Ozma. Statistics show that in reality the best place for the embryo is in the womb, so when you have one the plan is to put it back as soon as possible.. I would question any clinic who would want to leave it in the lab longer - it doesn't achieve anything more than what would be happening inside you anyway and actually increases the risk.

I see this is your second round. Have they tried changing the protocol? we changed from long to short and got very different results from them on. it might be worth asking about this.

In my review my consultant always talks through each stage of the process and if each stage was good bad indifferent and if there was anything we could do to change it.

Third time lucky for you xx

My clinic said the womb is the best environment for the embryos. I had a d2transfer despite having 5grade A embryos. I'm currently on 2ww. Keeping my fingers crossed. I believe it's just fate and nothing else but certainly not because it's a d2t because I have seen so many positive outcome from a d2t. Be strong!
