Embryo glue for FET?

[p226]

My doctor has advised to use embryo glue for the FET this cycle - has anyone experienced that before?

My clinic uses it as standard so I’ve had it on two succesful transfers x

That’s so reassuring - I had never heard of it before so was wondering if it’s ok to use as I am losing trust in the entire system…. But I guess I am going to use everything possible that the doctor advises now - thanks a lot for the confidence!

[KiboXX in reply to p226]

No problem! I definitely don’t think it’s harmful, whether it really helps or not I think is 🤷🏼‍♀️ but as add-ons go, it’s not crazy money so I’d say it’s worth a shot x

Omd Kibo, I just saw your answer and found out you are onto your second successful transfer. Congrats girl! Xx

[KiboXX in reply to Jols]

Thank you! 🥰 still can’t quite believe we are cooking number 2! Hope you’re doing ok xx

That is soo lovely, mega congrats! I am good thanks, changed from IVI to Zita West. Transferring soon and just wish they hadn't told me they prefer not to use the glue for hatching embies as I was clear I wanted it..now I am wondering gggrrrrr

[KiboXX in reply to Jols]

Yeah that’s such a hard one! IVI use embryo glue as standard on frozen transfers and they waited until my embryos were starting to hatch to freeze them so I can’t see how it’s an issue but maybe they have different ways of doing things at Zita 🤷🏼‍♀️ Xx

I didn't realize but saw in my notes for this FET that my clinic uses glue as standard. I think my embryo stuck within a day of transfer - I felt it very distinctly and I got a positive FRER on 3dpt (not suggesting testing that early, there were reasons for me). Could just have been an embryo that was very keen to implant but the glue definitely didn't seem to hurt. X

That’s so amazing to know - I was a little skeptical when the doctor suggested but not anymore!

[MrsOrangejuice in reply to p226]

It could be a gimmick but as I didn't realize until after and it was included without extra cost, I didn't consider it. The notes say it's not harmful. Best of luck!

Thank you so much - I really hope it works out.. I only have 3D3 frozen embryos 2grade1 and 1grade2 which will be taken till blastocyst… so don’t know how many can I hope will survive.. my AMH is before 0.5 so I really want this to work

good luck, i really do hope it works for you. x

Hi p226 hope you don’t mind me asking but did you use the glue for your FET and did it work? My clinic don’t appear to be encouraging it but it is an option I am considering for my 4th transfer.. they said I can have it if I want it.

My clinic uses glue as standard, and currently 12 weeks pregnant from an FET so the jury’s out as to whether it helps, but it definitely doesn’t hurt xx
