ERA, Emma & Alice tests

[Jrss1]

Hi guys, I’m in the process of doing the above tests. I’m finding taking estrofem quite tough. I’m exhausted pretty much all of the time. Did anyone else find this?? I know it’s really worth it and I think I should have been advised to do them long ago but it is what it is. Hopefully now I will get some answers as to why my embryos didn’t stick?

Hi lovely, have you always had fresh transfers? The high doses of oestrogen and progesterone in prep for frozen can really wipe you out for sure! I did these tests and it was 100% worth it for me as my window of implantation came back as 24 hours out. Fingers crossed you get some answers xx

Hi Millbanks, I’ve had both but mostly fresh. I’m just curious now to see what comes out of it. I did have endometriosis years ago so I’m wondering is it still there? My doctor said everything looks normal and she thinks my lining is always perfect! The oestrogen is killing me tho. I’m out of the ordinary exhausted. Progesterone starts shortly, not looking forward to adding that to the mix!! 😩

Ah I see - fingers crossed it's gone :)Funnily enough I always find that the progesterone levels out the oestrogen - so hopefully you'll find that too. I do find that the mix of meds makes me exhausted too - I've just come off the progynova & lubion and I feel like I've just woken up from a coma xx

Mine also came back 24 hours out! Not transferred again yet so don't know if that change will be the key, but am positive that it might be!! At least they've found something to change!!Good luck!
