I had 2 eggs, one embryo transfer however have miscarried at 11 weeks.

m the 1 egg that was frozen will that be implanted and count as round 1 still or will that be classed as second round? I am in wales and have 2 rounds on nhs

Thank you

Hi! You need to read the terms of your NHS referral, which will define what counts as 'one round'. I believe it is region-specific. For us, one round was defined as one round of stimulations and the transfer of all resulting embryos provided they are no more than 3. So far, we had a round of stimulations and two FETs. Our clinic confirmed that we have one FET remaining on our NHS round. Good luck!

Hi I'm in Cardiff and I'm struggling to start with the process. Could you please tell me where to start?

Hi! Do you mean the IVF referral process? That is started by your GP, so you should talk to them first. Good luck!

Hi I am sorry for your loss, I am in Wales too and at the time of my Nhs treatment was informed any frozen embryos from a cycle can be used which are included in the first full cycle via NHS. x

I’m so sorry for your loss. Definitely check the terms of your particular CCG (they’re usually available online if you Google it) because it varies a lot. Mine gives 3 cycles but defines a cycle as each transfer, so I got 3 funded FETs as I had a freeze all, but the next CCG down the road includes the transfer of all embryos frozen per egg collection as 1 cycle x

I spoke to the clinic today and they will transfer my frozen embryo and count it still as the first round of treatment xx
