5th attempt - 1st ever frozen TIPS PLEASE

[TTCWithCHSweetheart]

Hi lovely people.

Back again!!

I am about to jump into my 5th cycle of IVF/ICSI and am looking for some tips/advice.

A little low down on my journey. We are 31 and still unexplained. Husband had some DNA damage but saw a urologist before cycle 4.

1st IVF Fresh - nothing to transfer

2nd ICSI Fresh - 1 blastocyst and 1 Cleavage transferred. BFP which ended in ectopic and a tube removed.

3rd ICSI Fresh - no blastocysts, one transferred BFN

4th ICSI Fresh - After husband saw urologist we got 1 day 5 blastocyst and 3 day 6 blastocysts 🙏 transferred a very good quality looking blastocyst on day 5 but BFN.

About to start the 5th cycle which is our first frozen and would love to all the info you think could help.

Please pray for us.

Good luck everyone 🤞🙏🤞

Xx

I had a frozen cycle, my consultant actually said FET can work better because your body is at a more natural stage with medication as opposed to a fresh cycle where you’re having meds to stimulate the ovaries and produce eggs etc.

It worked for us! Wishing you the best of luck xx

This is amazing positive news. Thank you. I’ve been told the same thing about frozen being better because our bodies are not still recovering from the drugs of stimulating. Thank you so much hun. I’m praying this is our time xx

I really hope so! Sending you so much positivity! I had 2 embryos transferred and one stuck. Also had embryo glue x

Best of luck! To be honest, I don’t think there’s much you can do, from my experience it’s just pot luck. We were told implantation is 90% down to the embryo.

But just for my sanity I wore socks all the time “warm feet, warm uterus”, I juiced a pineapple every day because I can’t stand eating it, I rested as much as I could for the first couple of days. It helps to feel like you’re doing something. Hope it all works out for you xx

You are so right, but it’s good to feel like we’re doing something isn’t it.

I’m praying this is our time. I really don’t know how much longer I can hold onto hope xx

We’ve had a similar journey so I understand how it can really run you down. After my second miscarriage I remember holding it in so well and “being strong” but getting my positive now all I can think about is I can’t take another miscarriage, it would totally break me. I’m just praying every day that this one sticks. Will keep you in my prayers too xxx

We all deserve the happiness. Life can be so unfair but we have to keep strong and keep going. We can do this. Sending lots of love and praying we both get our miracle this time xx
