[Same0508]

So now ivf first cycle is negative and FET postponed due to covid-19,can I go for fertility treatment(letrozole or clomid for ovulation) until FET?

My clinic said they are stopping all fertility due to covid-19 only because they don’t have a cure for it and to risky if pregnant women and baby get this. Good luck

Hi there. Firstly, I'm sorry for your failed ivf shot. Secondly, I know quite a time span passed, so things might have changed for you by now. Still in your shoes I wouldn't take any drugs on my own without the dr's supervision. How are you doing now??

I'm afraid I cannot be of much help here. I think I wouldn't go.

Also dropped in to say that all body reactions are so individual. I'm hoping your body prepares the best by the time of treatments start. Wishing you the best with your further consultations. All the positive thoughts going your way x

I understand your concerns. But it really depends.. This was one of the major questions I used to ask when I was wholy into the DE IVF process myself years ago. We passed treatments abroad, with BTC which is in Kyiv. So I asked my doc how many embryos should I transfer at a time. And she answered, the number of embryos transferred is typically based on the age and number of eggs retrieved. She explained, since the rate of implantation is lower for older women, more embryos are usually transferred. Except for women using donor eggs. Most doctors follow specific guidelines to prevent a higher order multiple pregnancy. Moreover, in some countries, legislation limits the number of embryos that can be transferred at once.

That's why make sure you and your doctor agree on the number of embryos that will be transferred before ET. (The max my clinic does is 3. We ourselves transferred 2 and ended up with 1).

Of course, extra embryos can be frozen and stored for future use for several years. But not all embryos will survive the freezing and thawing process, although most will. It's known that cryopreservation can make future cycles of IVF less expensive and less invasive. However, the live birth rate from frozen embryos is slightly lower than the live birth rate from fresh embryos. So I absolutely understand why you don't feel enthusiastic about freezing the beans.

All in all this is a personal decision to make. Wish you all the best of luck with it.
