EMMA results

[Patches86]

I just got my test results back from my EMMA/ALICE biopsy and results for the EMMA are abnormal.

I am hopeful that we have now maybe found the reason for 4 implantation failures, although sad and frustrated that we didn’t do this test earlier and that it’s going to delay being able to do our 5th transfer now.

Has anyone had abnormal EMMA results and then had a repeat biopsy done after a round of antibiotics and probiotics and then achieved a normal result? And gone on to get a BFP?

Thanks and sending love to all x

No advice but keen to follow as although not having the test, I’m taking the antibiotics and probiotics anyway to correct if there is an abnormality. Good luck! Xx

No advice either, but I was prescribed probiotics by my clinic before I started my fourth round of treatment (second fresh cycle), so hopefully it’s something that is successful for you ahead of your next transfer 🍀 good luck xx

I had slightly abnormal results and was prescribed probiotics. Doctor advised not to take antibiotics after as that would kill my good flora too x

I have also had failed transfers and finally did this test. Indicates abnormalities and so I m put on antibiotics and probiotics.

[Patches86 in reply to Bhoga]

Sorry to hear that Bhoga, did you get a repeat biopsy after your antibiotics and probiotics?

[Bhoga in reply to Patches86]

I am on Day5 of antibiotics right now. Keeping fingers crossed that it’ll all work out

[Eternalwarrior]

Yes, I did! I had a very abnormal result in EMMA and ALICE, was prescribed antibiotics and probiotics, repeated the tests again, they came back normal, I did the transfer the next cycle and I am now just over 10 weeks pregnant . I wish I had done those tests earlier, as I am sure I would have avoided some heartache. I suffered from implantation failure and recurrent miscarriages. Good luck!

What a lovely success story, congrats and thanks for sharing! Can I ask how long you took the antibiotics and probiotics for before you had a repeat test?

[Eternalwarrior in reply to Patches86]

Thank you 😊 I think I took the antibiotics for 8 days. As soon as I finished the antibiotics I started with the probiotics. They prescribed me pessaries for 10 days but in addition to that I also took oral probiotics and continued to do so. They repeated the tests after I had completed the 10 days with pessaries. I wish you all the best! X

I had an abnormal result and had antibiotics and then probiotics. I didn’t bother having another test to see if it was clear as my clinic told me they’d never done a repeat test and found that they needed further medical help. I went straight into my fifth and final transfer and I’m now 24 weeks pregnant after

[Patches86 in reply to D38813]

Amazing! Huge congrats! I’m crossing fingers that this treatment might just do the trick this time x

Reading all of your success stories 💕 and I was just hoping I could ask you a question - how long after your Emma/Alice can you do a transfer? Thank you xx

[D38813 in reply to Bump12]

I had the Emma and Alice and then took antibiotics and probiotics and then straight into another transfer once that was finished. I had it done at a private clinic in West Midlands UK

[Bump12 in reply to D38813]

What was the timeline from when you have the Emma/Alice to when you started the the estrogen for the next transfer? Also did you feel the your body responded better to estrogen after the treatment? Xx

[D38813 in reply to Bump12]

I can’t remember the exact timeline. I had the results. Took the recommended meds and then prepped for the transfer.

[Bump12 in reply to D38813]

Ah ok hope everything going well with your pregnancy xx

[Patches86 in reply to Bump12]

You can do a transfer the cycle straight after after your ALICE/EMMA test

[Bump12 in reply to Patches86]

Oh do you not need to wait for the results though? Xx

[Patches86 in reply to Bump12]

My results came within 2 weeks each time (I landed up doing three EMMA tests over three months because of abnormal results) eventually decided to proceed with a transfer (it failed) despite abnormal results and did this the cycle after my last EMMA test which the doctor assured me was completely ok

[Bump12 in reply to Patches86]

Oh dear sorry to hear about your rough journey. Hoping the last transfer was successful? Xx

[Patches86 in reply to Bump12]

Unfortunately not

[Bump12 in reply to Patches86]

Really sorry to hear about that. Hope you are doping ok 😘

[Miracolo2]

Hello, would you mind me asking whether you had those tests done in the UK and in that case how much you paid?

[Patches86 in reply to Miracolo2]

I had it done at a private clinic in UK (DM me if you’d like me to send you the name) it was £895 (crazy expensive as are all things infertility unfortunately)

[Miracolo2 in reply to Patches86]

Thank you!

Sorry to jump on but I was hoping you can privately send me the information as well?Many thanks, Nathali
