uterine polyp May cancel FET

[Keepondreaming]

Hi

Looking for some hope/advice/stories….

We are in the middle of cycle no 6 of ivf. I have low AMH and we have had a maximum of 3 eggs collected. Out of size cycles unfortunately we have only had two embryo transfers (one fresh and one frozen)

The plan this cycle was for a fresh transfer if we have an embryo. However yesterday at my scan they identified a polyp and the lining was quite thick. They said they would monitor but they mentioned not doing a fresh transfer and freezing instead. They also mentioned a hysteroscopy but they are going to monitor my lining.

I asked if we are to freeze if we would get the choice to freeze on day 3 or day 5. We did have a day 3 embryo frozen which they advised us to defrost and culture to day 5 at last transfer and it didn’t grow. I read and learnt day 3 embryos don’t bounce back as well from freezing. Has anyone else heard this? I realise pushing to day 5 comes with a risk of no embryos (if we have an embryo).

has anyone had a hysteroscopy? Can’t they do this after collection but before frozen transfer? I have so many questions going round in my head since I left the scan yesterday and hoping others can maybe give me some insight.

Thanks for reading!

Hi lovely, sorry you’ve had a delay to your process. It must cause so many more questions.

I can answer the hysteroscopy part as I had one last May. I was fortunate to do it privately via work so it was under general - I think the NHS do it under local or light sedation. I understand it’s about 20 mins max. For me they found and removed polyps that were slightly blocking my tubes, and hadn’t been seen before, so it was worthwhile. I had to wear pads and bled a little for a few days afterwards but not more than 4/5 days. Best of luck 💜

Hi

Thanks for your reply! Ours will be private too (I assume the clinic will do it) but maybe I have misunderstood! Thank you x
