We've just completed our 4th IVF round (5th transfer) and got another bfn this morning. I have very low amh (unexplained) therefore we only get 1/2 embryos viable for transfer each go. I understand that it will take me more than the average 3 rounds due to this. I'm at a cross roads whether to give up on own eggs despite being told I'm still young at 36.
I just wanted to know how many transfers it took before you were successful. I've read online the average is 6 therefore I'm tempted to try one more time with my own eggs.
Thanks
It’s incredibly hard! We’ve decided to continue with own eggs and to start testing the embryos to save time and heartache. It’s such a personal choice and dependant on many factors I guess. Best of luck in whatever you choose xx
it was a natural one. The first 3 were artificial (my former clinic said it was not a problem that I did not menstruate at all since I was 14)... but the endometrium started to become thinner with each cycle. Also I had a lot of pain and my progesterone (even with the pills they give), was always too low. Then I went to the endocrinologist, because a friend with a similar issue told me she was misdiagnosed with PCOS when actually she had somethig else, so she had years of not receiving the correct treatment (I was diagnosed with PCOS at 14 when my periods stopped, but gynecologists would always give me only more hormons and treat symptoms). He found out that my insuline was very high and vitamine d too low and the culprit of all my hormonal imbalances, he put me on metformine and I went from no periods to 29 day periods. Then as i had ovulation and periods but still no pregnancy, I changed clinics. The new specialist said that she wanted to try only natural or modified natural with me (this is a natural one, where they trigger you to ovulate). That supossedly there was no difference in live birth rate, but that she noticed that sometimes in some patients there was a difference (she had lots of experience on PCOS) and that by my old results, artificial might not be the best for me and that they would only give extra progesterone. They also grew the embryos from Day 3 to day 5. First 2 tries (one natural and then one modified natural), were not successful (they did not tell me the embryo scores, only that they were good for transfer). The third natural FET was the one that worked. Also, there are some papers that say that natural FET has less of a risk for developing preclampsia than artificial ones.Sorry for the long answer, I hope it helps, if you have more questions, I will be happy to answer them

Second Transfer Successful! 
Hi Ajtart,I'm so sorry to hear your negative result 😔 It takes so much strength and you are amazing.
I was similar with only 1 or 2 eggs and did 4 transfers all bfn. I was a little older -39 though so we did move onto donor eggs and finally got our BFP. I couldn't take the stimulation drugs anymore for a negative result at the end. Its a very personal decision though and not a guarantee.
I personally think my implantation window was out as have very short cycles so might have got success with my eggs within 4 transfers if had that and immune protocol from the beginning. Have you looked into other tests as could be more than waiting for the right egg?
Know it can all be a minefield but wish you luck with your next steps and that you will get your BFP xx
Thanks so much for your reply. I'm so happy you got a bfp with donor! This last protocol we threw everything at it. Steroids (nk cells), extra progesterone and aspirin. Our embryo was good/excellent 8cell this time xx
