Less eggs and a single embryo

Guys, I have one failed FET with 3 embryos from 2 stims which led to a lot of disappointment and pain. Tried for one more stim but resulted in a single embryo out of 2 eggs, gave a break of 2 cycles to plan for another round of stim in April. Just wondering, has anyone faced similar situation and conceived, I am already 43 now and scared of not conceiving, kindly suggest.

I don't have any positive stories to share, but just wanted to say I am so sorry you are going through this.

It's great you have one embryo left though. Before your next transfer I would suggest doing EMMA/ALICE/ERA and immune testing, if you haven't already, just because you mentioned the FET failure with 3 embryos. There can be so much beyond the embryo quality that causes failure and so many clinics fail to investigate this until multiple FET failures have happened. Sending hugs and wishing you luck

I guess, there might be other reasons as well like you correctly pointed out. I am optimistic and trying to stay strong and thanks so much love for being so kind.

I don’t have any personal stories to share but my friend who I met via clinic was in a similar situation to you.. didn’t retrieve many eggs. For her last round the consultant changed her stims to pergoveris and she got double the amount of eggs retrieved. She ended up with 3 blasts.. sent them for pgta and got one euploid xx

Good luck xx

That sounds so positive. Let me talk to my doctor for my next round of stims.
