Embryo transfer

[Jrss1]

Hi everyone, so.... I went down that road again. I had 8 follicles and only 2 eggs retrieved. One wasn’t mature enough but the other was transferred. Can I ask, is there anything I should do or take to increase my chances of implantation? I will do anything to make this work. I need all of your wisdom. Thank you in advance ☺️

I’m having my 14 day HGC test today I have been bleeding since 8dp5dt and had a blood test on 8th day to check progrestone levels and they were too low so I would say stay on top of that and get checked every few days to make sure your levels are optimum otherwise implantation will fail. 🙏🏽

[Jrss1 in reply to Biancad]

Thank you Biancad, I will do that. I’m so sorry to hear you are bleeding. Would there be still a chance for you? Have you taken your own test?

[Biancad in reply to Jrss1]

Thanks 🙏🏽 yes still a chance as had scan and blood taken on Monday progesterone was up to 88 optimum is between 77-99 on the Friday it was 45. Scan showed lining still at 7mm HGC was still to low to confirm a pregnancy. Just had bloods taken today and will get results back this afternoon so fingers crossed 🤞🏽 I have read on here some people have tested negative day before 14 day test then tested positive the next day others have bled for 2 weeks and still tested positive so just have to wait abd see what happens 🤷🏽‍♀️

I am sending you loads of luck and I’ll keep everything crossed for you. I love hearing positive stories & I’m hoping your’s will be too. Let me know how it goes xxx

Some people say you should drink pomegranate juice and eat 2 Brazil nuts a day. Others say to keep your feet warm. Others swear by full fat dairy products (obvs not the soft or unpasteurised cheese banned in pregnancy though) I tried most of this and my transfer still failed though. Wishing you success!

[Jrss1 in reply to Koala365]

Thank you so much for replying. I read about pomegranate juice too. I’ll try the Brazil nuts and also pineapple. Are you trying again?

[Koala365 in reply to Jrss1]

Probably in late summer or autumn but that was IVF no 3 for us and we have done 3 IVF cycles since October and just feel I have put my body and mind through a lot and need some time off before trying again. It is also putting a lot of pressure on our relationship. I think the next cycle will be our last attempt and if it doesn't work out we will need to accept that we are just too old and our dream of being parents is something we will have to move on from sadly.

I know how you feel, I’ve actually lost count now between cancelled stims, cysts, failed retrieval’s etc. It’s all so hard. I hope you find the strength to go again. xxx

Thank you. It sounds like you have been through a lot more so well done for continuing. It's really hard being told that it is not working because you are old and being given a less than 10% chance of success or 5 to 6% chance of success (I will turn 45 shortly) especially when your partner then equates that with not being worth continuing. If I hadn't had a missed miscarriage I think I might be prepared to accept that it just wasn't meant to be but I am pushing on because I don't want the MMC to be my only experience of pregnancy/motherhood. Plus I also believe in miracles! Hopefully you will have success with this one! Hoping and praying that you do!

Hi... I was told to have Mc Donald's chips (but of a joke in our clinic that all those who got preg swear by... Think it's the salt I don't know but I did it cause I was afraid not to! I'm 12 weeks preg 🙏🏼 and after 2x4bb 5bb embryos put back and one little munchkin is clinging on thank god) Butnonwas told pineapple and feet warm so fluffy socks and take it easy plenty of water xx

[Jrss1 in reply to Hidden]

Ok, Mc Donald’s chips it is 🍟 😀

Hi lovely, I am a firm believer that if it's not the "right" embryo - nothing you do will make it implant. I think the best thing to do is gentle exercise, keep your mind occupied and stay off google! xx

Hi unfortunately no words of wisdom to offer. But I went for egg collection today and was expecting 4 mature eggs, unfortunately only 2 were collected and one is mature while the other is immature. I came across your question and it gives me hope that maybe our one egg can make it and be fertilised and become an Embryo. I hope you did get an implantation and that it all worked out for you. But I just wanted to say thank you, as I see your story of that one egg fertilising and being able to be transfered as a bit of hope for myself and our journey 😊 xx
