Success after 4 or more transfers?

Hey lovely ladies,

So I’m starting my 4th FET next week, and I’ve read so many success stories for people who have only had a couple of goes.

I’d love to hear about a few more positive stories for people like me who’ve had 4+ transfers.

My summary

34, unexplained fertility TTC 4 years

Fresh 1st transfer BFP ended in MMC 7 weeks

2nd FET natural, failed

ERA biopsy showed I needed 12 hours extra progesterone

3rd transfer, extra progesterone, BFN

Thank you! Xx

Hi Catlady12345 . I don't have personal experience. But I have read through a lot posts in various forums for support and education, and lots of ladies are blessed with babies after many transfers. So, in other words I think you are in a good position. Good luck xx

Hey lovely,

So many things on your story match mine so I couldn’t read and run. I hope this gives you a boost for 4th transfer 🥰

I’m now 35 but was 34 when I did my fourth transfer last January. 1st round, BFP but ended in mc at 6 weeks. 2nd and 3rd round bfn. BFP on my fourth round which resulted in my daughter who’s just turning 6 months old.

Really hope it’s fourth time lucky for you too ♥️ good luck!xxx

Age is on your side! Keep trying.

I think you should investigate the cause including immunology. I recommend you work with your current doctors for investigation and also get a second opinion. Best

Hi Catlady12345 i had my fourth transfer on 13th March and got my BFP yesterday! Was also fourth time lucky for my manager at work. I've got a good feeling about YOUR fourth 🙏 🙏 hope it goes well and u get that bfp 😘

It took me 7 transfers of 8 good quality embryos over 2 years. I'm currently 20 weeks. 1st transfer -bfn

2nd- bfn

3rd - 2 transferred- bfp but miscarriage at 5 weeks. All miscarriage bloods normal.

4th transfer- bfp- mmc 13 weeks. No cause found.

5th transfer- bfp- mmc 7 weeks

6 the transfer- bfn

7th transfer- bfp after fresh round

We tried natural fets, natural modified and medicated. I was told that sometimes it's down to factors that they just don't understand and needs a bit of luck. Even if everything looks perfect- embryo, lining etc, it gives you about 60% chance of success. The other 40% they just don't know enough about yet. It's so, so hard but try to keep going. I found that doing lots of research helped as I felt like I was doing something. I was going to do era/emma/alice and pgt-a but due to only getting one embryo in our last fresh, we didn't do it. I was taking impryl, omega 3 and coq10. Hubby was taking impryl too. I don't know if this helped at all. I was majorly stressed and down for the last transfer but it worked. Wishing you the very best of luck.

A friend of mine succeeded on her 7th.... 3 BFN, 3 early miscarriages. Awful. But she’s now got a gorgeous, healthy baby boy 💜🙏🤞
