Chances of success second time round

[Rhea87]

I am going through a chemical pregnancy and wondered what the chances of success second time round. Is there anything I can do? Is taking Ubiquinol good?

Our first transfer was fresh and resulted in a chemical, our second was a frozen and is 3 in May, our third transfer and last chance, also frozen, is 6 months this weekend ❤️ I had acupuncture before my 3 transfers and also after my third, I drank tonnes of pom juice for each. I ate healthy for my first, junk for my second and third! Xx

thank you did you do anything different? Also we’re your hcg levels low for the successful pregnancies? Congratulations also xx

Apart from the above (just edited th post), nope. They didn't check my levels for the pregnancies xx

I guess it shows that what you eat does not matter as much, you ate junk and got pregnant on those cycles and not the healthy one. Thanks for sharing as it’s so easy to become obsessive about food. And really pleased to hear your success stories x

Thank you ❤️ we got pregnant with all three so we're really lucky. I obsessed with food then thought plenty of overweight women and women who eat junk get pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hear you! For my first cycle I was so strict with myself and when it failed, I thought well a fat lot of difference did that make! So now I am more relaxed but still trying to stay on the healthy side but have allowed myself to have more treats. So thanks for highlighting x

I had a loss around 5 weeks on my first fresh transfer and when I got the HCG back it turned out to have stopped developing before OTD and the meds had been hiding that. Second fresh the following month was a chemical although I tested positive through OTD again. Asked for more and different progesterone on my first FET the next month and that one took straight away and I have al little girl from that. Just had another fresh transfer where I insisted on the same progesterone regime again even though the clinic said it shouldn't be necessary and I'm approaching 6 weeks (although HCG was very slow to get going and haven't had a scan yet). For the FET and this transfer I took ubiquinol, b vits, omegas, folate and aspirin. Didn't change diet or exercise in terms of being careful or cutting anything out, just added in things I thought were 'good' and that I also happened to like. I think the progesterone has been the main thing for me.

Hi Rhea, just checking in and hoping you are okay. So srry for your loss. I hope you find a good way to move forward and have lots of support around you. Unfortunately we had a failed implantation this time so it's been a bit rough and I'm still not sure how best to move forward either.

Take good care. Thinking of you and sending a hug xx
