First unsuccessful transfer

clarebearclarebear36 profile image

Hello all

I’ve just joined this wonderful group hoping to feel less alone in this journey. If anyone is out there who can provide some advice I would most appreciate it right now. Our story:

We’ve been trying almost 2 years to conceive our second child. Our son was conceived naturally after 1 month trying and is now 4 and a half years old. After 6 months trying we went to our GP as I was 35 and advised not to wait much longer. We both had the usual blood tests and checks done which all came back normal.

I had a scan which showed a polyp so I had a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to check my tubes last February. They removed the polyp and found grade 1-2 endometriosis which was removed. We were told to try for another 6 months but after no success we were told IVF we would be our only option.

I sadly began spotting day 5 after the fresh embryo transfer and my period came 2 days before test day. We have our follow up appointment in 3 weeks but I just want to know if there is anyone else in a similar boat or could advise on how we go forward. I thought the reason for my spotting which I usually get a few days before my period would be due to low progesterone but my levels came back normal. Sorry foe the long post. Thank you for listening 💖

Hi sorry about your failed cycle. As they say this is a long journey. Have you decided to try again using your frozen embryos?

Hi

So sorry I have only just seen your message. We did try again with a frozen transfer back in July but it sadly failed. We now have 2 embryos left from this cycle and we have been advised to transfer both. I have just began treatment for this transfer. Feeling emotional & anxious already x
