after starting our ivf journey 3 years ago following undiagnosed fertility issues our first cycle result in 3 embryos . All (1 fresh and 2 frozen ) transfer sadly ended up in BFN following the two week wait. We started our second cycle in May and this time only managed two embryos . After having one transferred on 10th June we finally got our positive result ! My husband and I were quietly hopefully that things maybe going our way finally but today we had our viability scan at 7 weeks 6days and are devastated as no heartbeat could be found.
I now have to go for another scan in 2 days to confirm this and the next steps remove the fetus.
I have been so strong through all the negative tests but this has broken me today , has any one had success after this many failed transfers ? Don’t know what to do next and only have one FET left , the next try will really be our last shot.

First of all, i am sorry. Yes, unfortunately i suffered many losses. One natural conception that ended in a mmc. An fet of two blastocysts that was a negative, a second one that was a chemical and the third double one that gave us a baby.. So 7 embryos in total to get one live birth.
I am so sorry to hear this love - it's really, really cruel. There isn't much to say in this moment to make it all better but just know that it really does work for people after several failures. I am obsessed with reading them because they give such hope. It's an arduous journey that can be needlessly long and cruel for some people but there is always, always hope x
I've just been through this and it is hell. I'm so sorry your experiencing this too. There is absolutely no reason that this would happen again though, it is just really unlucky.
I know it's hard not to fixate on it but there was likely just something wrong with the embryo - it doesn't mean that this is always going to be the case.
so sorry. Sadly yes I had 3 miscarriages one ectopic. 4th FET stuck, with all the drugs -full immune protocol. Turns out I had immune issues and didn’t know it until was investigated
I am so so sorry sending you love. I had a MMC end of last year and it’s heartbreaking 💔 don’t worry about the future and next steps right now but I promise you somehow you will find the strength xx
I am so sorry you are going through this it is the most devastating time. I had 5 miscarriages and one d&c then a failed FET before having my son. Take care of yourself and take time to grieve xx
Oh I really feel for you and your husband and I'm really sorry to hear your going through this, I had a missed miscarriage where the heart stopped beating at 7 weeks 3 days around 2 months ago and recently had a bfn on second transfer so I know exactly how your feeling right now, my only advice for you is to stay strong and sometimes as horrible as it is most of us will have to go through a rough time before we get our little miracles, and once we do most of this will be a distant memory, just have plenty of support around you if you have it and keep believing that it will be your time soon xx
Just wanted to send you my thoughts and love, so so sorry, it’s heartbreaking and I hope you have some support and cuddles. I had the same at 7 weeks last year and it a devastating but give yourself time. You can for sure still have success, sometimes sadly the embryo is just not quite right but you’ll get there. Sending strength, my thoughts are with you.❤️❤️❤️
So sorry to read this. I had a natural mmc, failed double transfer own eggs, 3 failed transfers, chemical, then 2 failed transfers before my BFP that stuck 💖
I’m so sorry. Our one positive transfer ended with mmc at 9 weeks too. It’s so harrowing. My heart goes out to you. Take some time to come to terms with it before you decide when to do your next transfer I think. Take very good care of yourself, it’s so tough what you’re going through
so sorry to hear about your loss, take care of yourself, it takes time to heal 🩷
I had 3 cycles, first one we got two blastos, not good quality so both transferred and BFN. Second cycle, we only got 1 embryo transferred on day 2, positive but ectopic. Third cycle, we got 3 embryos, 2 transferred fresh on day 2 (negative), and one blasto frozen and transferred a few months later, which resulted in our lovely DD.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you at the next transfer 🍀
Hi I’m so sorry to hear about your losses and sending a lot of love. ❤️ this is a difficult journey. We have had two losses with our own eggs and went for donor eggs due to my age. We just completed a donor egg FET which resulted in a chemical pregnancy. We thought egg quality would be perfect but it isn’t always a guarantee. There is no guarantee with FET so many things we don’t know enough about at play.
There is no silver bullet but you should have ensure the embryos are genetically tested and at least have your microbiome tested and a full uterine examination to make sure there is no scarring. Wishing you success for the last round 💗 x
Oh I'm so sorry, this can be such a cruel process. It isn't fair at all to go through all of this and end up with that result. But that doesn't mean it won't work next time. With my first round we had 2 embryos as well, first one BFP but also no heartbeat at viability scan, I was heartbroken. Then second FET transfer became my son, and he was nearly not even frozen initially because he wasn't high enough quality on day 5, they gave him an extra day to pick up more cells. Second half of last year I had 4 rounds of treatment, first round no embryos at all, the next two transfers were BFNs but then number 3 stuck and is due next month. So please know you can have success after disappointment and I really really hope that you do xx
I’m so sorry this has happened. It’s so cruel and I’m sending you lots of love. I really wish I had a success story or something to make you feel better but unfortunately I don’t 🥺. I hope some of the other lovely ladies on here have shared some positive experiences following a MC. Take some time to let your body & mind heal. It’s a really tough journey and in time, I hope you find the strength to go again. Xxx
