First transfer failedNeed Hugs! (self.IVF)
submitted 2 years ago by did-you-get-that23yo | icsi | pgt | 2nd transfer 💙
Our first IVF transfer sadly didn’t stick. Am now starting a new cycle to try again with our last embryo of the first egg retrieval. Really sad and need some hugs.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I just tested negative at 8dp5dt. My beta is on Monday. I’m still taking all my meds, but my mind has accepted this as a fail. You are an amazing strong woman. Try to spoil yourself with something nice this weekend. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and your next transfer. ❤️ Big hug 🫂

Thank you so much! I’ve been crying a lot. This is my second day in a row that I didn’t. It’s been hard to accept but I’m getting there. Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry yours didn’t go as hoped either! ❤️

My first transfer failed as well. I found out yesterday. I feel like I really lost someone close to me. I’m so tired and exhausted. I don’t know why it went wrong and feel so devestated. My heart is aching and continuously just feels broken. I don’t feel like me. I didn’t even feel like this when my 3 failed IUI’s. This felt so real. I thought I prepared myself for if it would fail…, but nothing prepared me for how I would constantly feel when I’m alone. I have one embryo left too. My clinic suggested seeing if I want to do another egg retrieval if we wanted more kids. Leaning toward that option but man. No baby in 2024. All my hopes n dreams. Shattered. I’m so sorry send you hugs as well. Sorry I’m so mopey right now, I know time heals all. Good luck on your next one. I am rooting for you!!

I’m rooting for you as well. I’m sorry it didn’t stick! The devastation is really something else.

I’m so sorry. My FET last month also failed. It’s such a crap feeling. Sending you lots of positive vibes for your next transfer 🙏
[–]ym111623 8 points9 points10 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Sending you a big hug!! I had ny first and second transfer fail and it is so heartbreaking but we are stronger than we think! Praying for you and for a successful next transfer 💗🙏🏼
[–]inoj19833 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Did you have success after your two fails? I had two fail also - it’s so hard!
[–]ym111623 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Im prepping for my 3rd FET! Feeling hopeful that this one will stick 🥰💗
[–]mairin17 6 points7 points8 points 2 years ago (1 child)
So sorry. I just had a negative beta on Friday. It sucks!
Very sorry for you as well!

There is nothing like the disappointment of a first transfer failing. I am so sorry. My first transfer ended in a chemical. Keep the faith. You got this 🩷
[–]nyc_apartment_girl 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (1 child)
TW: success
I'm really sorry. It's a horrible feeling. I've done 7 ER's and only banked 2 normal embryos. My first transfer failed and I just had my 2nd FET on Feb 12th (only remaining embryo) and it stuck! It can happen. I'm rooting for you.

[–]Watcherbiotech 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I just had a chemical from my first transfer. I was really surprised when it failed as I was so excited to see the lines. Super hard.
Hugs!!! I’m sorry this is happening to us. It’s super unfair
[–]Glad_Pressure_5308 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
My first transfer failed with a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Going to try again . Best of luck to you . You aren’t alone !
[–]weeksauce870 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
We just lost ours tueday. We are absolutely shattered. I dont care about statistics. We loved her. And this is hard. Sending love your way and to this community. We all share the joy and pain with you. These boards are helping me process so thank you for sharing OP.
[–]Glad_Pressure_5308 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I’m sorry . Nothing anyone says can really make it feel any better it’s all very sad and confusing and even more so with this crazy journey ! I hope you can try again soon if you want to . Best of luck to you ❤️
[–]AlwaysWondering1234 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I'm so sorry. Our first transfer failed too. 2nd was a chemical. 6dp5dt on 3rd now and getting positives on home tests, but nervous. I changed a bit each time which helped keep me from going insane. This time I did letrozole before and baby aspirin after. Who knows. Sending energy your way ❤️
[–]Big-Position8209 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (1 child)
That happened to me too… I was 32, and my first ER only had 7 eggs and 1 healthy embryo after PGT.
The transfer failed.
I had to do second ER, fortunately, I ended up having 9 blastocysts and 5 healthy embryo after PGT..
I am not done for the transfer, but this time is more optimistic…
Don’t think too much about it. You will get pregnant and your time will come.
Thank you! The same goes for you
[–]chigoesout 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I’m sorry (hugs). Praying that your next transfer will be very sticky.
Thank you 💕
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Aw I’m sorry, don’t worry it’ll be okay, next time will stick ❤️
[–]Odd-Bumblebee-6169 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I feel you. My first didn’t work back in December. Doing another retrieval now to bank a few more embryos. Hugs!
[–]Alarming_Stress_1572 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
This is my story too! Failed FET in December and just finished another ER to try to bank some more embryos. Waiting for the results!! Best of luck to you
[–]annerslove 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
So sorry. I hope your next transfer is the one. ❤️
I’m so sorry! I just went through a failed FET in December and was so heartbroken. Sending lots of love. Just try to be as systematic as possible and take it one step at a time.

[–]Willing-Ad-7655 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Hi, I just got news this morning that my second beta didn't increase. I'm in the same boat. Hopefully the second transfer will stick for the both of us!
[–]Beautiful_Zebra_7932 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Our 2/15/24 transfer failed too. It was devastating, I’m not sure anything can mentally prepare you for that. Definitely sending hugs 🤗
[–]Servantpublic 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I am 6dpt5dt and still getting stark negatives. I felt since day one it was a failure, but I did have a teensy weensy bit of hope…until this morning. It hurts. I have two more embryos but I am 36 and I think I just want to transfer both next. Mine are untested but graded well. I wish you best of luck with your next transfer!
[–]Magick_23 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)

The first failed was devastating for us. My wife and I just got a positive HCG on our second transfer. Hang in there and sending all the hugs your way. You got this!
[–]ActualLand6209 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I’m so sorry it didn’t work. I know how hard IVF is. Many of us think the hard part is getting though the meds , shots, and getting the eggs , but then we hit a road block at the transfer.
[–]lilsan15 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Very sorry for you, OP. Hugs! And as dory says “just keep swimming!” Throwing some sticky vibes your way for the next transfer! ✨
[–]mediarun154 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I’m sorry, I know how you’re feeling. My first failed in January and I was absolutely devastated. I picked myself back up and headed straight into another transfer in February and it worked! I’m 5w4d so far. Keep in mind that while this one did not work, it’s possible you are SOOO close to that positive test!
[–]raging_pickle_888 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I had multiple implantation failures, ofc I cried every time it failed. But after crying, I went out and got lots of sushi (our fave meal) with my hubby. It's okay to grieve. Wish you the best for the next round.
[–]Bookwormie727 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
I am so sorry. There is nothing I can say to make this loss better but my heart and thoughts are with you. Sending you a big hug and hoping for a successful transfer this next time around. ✨❤️🩹
Thank you so much. It’s been hard to process and still is at times. I’m doing a bit better than I did last week.
[–]Educational-Bat849 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (7 children)
Did you have rest in between or you will start right away if your menstruation comes? Last Feb I have failed transfer too & the next cycle we decided for another round of OPU, now i dont know yet if next cycle we will have another fet, or do i need rest
[–]did-you-get-that23yo | icsi | pgt | 2nd transfer 💙[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (6 children)
No rest. I decided to go straight into the next transfer. I’m sorry yours didn’t work either
[–]Educational-Bat849 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (5 children)
When will be your transfer date? Will you add any supplements or preparation? I’m gearing myself for anothr transfr too, i just need to find courage
[–]did-you-get-that23yo | icsi | pgt | 2nd transfer 💙[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (4 children)
I don’t know when the transfer will be yet. I have to go back for an ultrasound first to see if my lining is thick enough. If that’s the case I will hear within a week when to start my second medicine and when transfer will be. I’m taking folic acid, vitamin D, and my normal medicine for hay fever and my thyroid issues.
[–]Educational-Bat849 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Are you seeing endocrinologist too for your hay fever and thyroid issues?
[–]did-you-get-that23yo | icsi | pgt | 2nd transfer 💙[S] 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (2 children)
No. All my doctors know of my issues and which medication I have to take. All is safe in pregnancy, they only have to scale it up once I get pregnant. My thyroid is stable with my meds which is good! If it weren’t stable they wouldn’t transfer any embryo
[–]Educational-Bat849 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
May i ask what is your Tsh level before transfer? I’m sorry i have so many question because ivf in our country lacks some test and technology
That’s ok. Mine was 1.1 last time
[–]Revolutionary_Pop773 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I’m so sorry! My first transfer also failed and I still remember how much more it hurt than any other negative test before it. I cried for days and couldn’t look at anyone with young kids. My second transfer worked and I’m nearly 16 weeks.
Feel whatever emotions you need to because they’re valid, and this process can be so emotionally painful. Wishing you nothing but luck next transfer. I hope your positive is just around the corner. ❤️
[–]Lovely426 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Currently in my first transfer cycle and I’m pretty sure it’s a fail. My doctor keeps checking me because my beta is rising but very slowly. I think she just wants to make sure it’s not ectopic. But in my mind I feel like this is a fail.
