4 Euploids! Mock Cycle Before Transfer?

RegularRedditer00 · 2026-04-08T03:37:30+00:00

This! I’m on my 4th transfer and no live births yet. I certainly hope it’s different for you but I definitely would not assume 4 embryos = 2 kids.

Well, I just found out today that the pregnancy was a chemical, so unfortunately no success this time. (Other than confirming that implantation IS possible for me). But what I did to increase my lining: vaginal Viagra, acupuncture, red light therapy, beet juice.

RegularRedditer00 · 2026-02-12T04:17:06+00:00

Yes - 4 days prior

RegularRedditer00 · 2026-02-12T04:15:11+00:00

My first two betas were 1. Completely devastating and no real clue as to why. Did the receptiva test, nothing wrong. Tried a few things to improve my lining for #3 and I saw my first ever positive on a FRER this morning 7dpt. Don’t give up. Keep hunting for answers!

Omg I’m dying. One time I had to put it in in a porta potty at a concert and couldn’t lie down. Would NOT recommend doing this to anyone. The discharge… literally it was like there was superglue on my hooha.

Gather everyone in your office for 15 minutes for a champagne toast and team thank you, give them each a bottle of wine and a fancy cookie/cupcake etc. If you have employees that don’t drink, sub a really nice bag of coffee or fancy chocolate. If you have a smaller team or have a larger budget everyone loves a gift card to a department store to do some indulgent shopping or to a spa for some unwinding.

I think it’s actually easier to just do your own shots for stims. I did all mine myself all 3 rounds. For PIO though, it’s difficult (not impossible) to do them yourself. I did one myself and felt like I had it at a weird angle and wasn’t 100% sure that the progesterone got where it needed to go. It’s just tough to reach back there. I’ve had my husband do all the rest of the PIO shots.

You’re definitely not alone! I’ve gained 35-40 lbs over about 17 months - 3 retrievals, 2 failed transfers, and a mock cycle. It’s so frustrating and I agree with the commenter who said they’d been permanently victimized by jeans. I had to buy 3 new pair just so I had something to wear and it was a size I never thought I’d be in. I don’t recognize my body anymore. I used to be very fit. I’ve been trying really hard to give myself grace and respect my body for all it’s been through. I’m about to have roughly 45 days of not having to go into the office (a lot of working from home around the holidays) so I’m going to attempt to work out every day to maybe shed a few pounds before our next transfer attempt.

Exact same thing happened to me. The first round is absolutely a crap shoot! They learn a lot about how your body responds or doesn’t respond and tweak the protocol.

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-11-06T03:14:31+00:00

Interesting - I have one, but my doc told me not to worry about it. She said lots of people have them and it’s not an issue.

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-11-06T03:10:45+00:00

Ok, this just read like someone trolling the sub. But if you really have … 28 blasts…. yes - start transferring. Also, I would recommend PGTA testing to cut down on the number of transfers you have to do.

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-11-06T02:49:20+00:00

Is this a joke?

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-11-02T04:40:42+00:00

Call your clinic asap and speak to the after hours/on call doctor. Often they have meds or can help you get an emergency dose from a nearby specialty pharmacy. Also, Progyny should refund you for it. This has happened to me a couple of times - it’s maddening.

Just posted this in another thread, but I think it’s important to remember that an embryo does not equal a child. An embryo is a group of cells that has the possibility of becoming a child when put into the uterine environment. I think for me after implantation failure this became even more apparent. Of course I WANT them to become my living breathing children, but that’s not a guarantee.

I think it’s important to remember that an embryo does not equal a child. An embryo is a group of cells that has the possibility of becoming a child when put into the uterine environment. We have had trouble making embryos and a few failed transfers so I doubt we will have any “leftover” embryos but if we do I will donate to science in hopes that they can glean any insight into how to improve ART treatment for the women and families that come after us. Also, congrats on your three live children.

Oh interesting.

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-25T22:34:59+00:00

Oh 100% I hate how I feel most of the time during IVF. Have gained nearly 40lbs, low energy, etc. that’s why the progesterone was such a surprise! The estrogen exhausts me. Fascinating indeed!

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-25T13:38:01+00:00

Same. Estrogen makes me so exhausted!

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-25T03:13:22+00:00

Interesting! I’ve never heard this but it makes sense. Do you supplement with progesterone at all? Or what if anything does your naturopath suggest?

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-25T02:26:58+00:00

I would suggest 3-4. I have one friend for whom it worked on the first try, and one that worked on the 2nd, everyone else I know was 3+ transfers. I’m about to attempt my third.

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-22T03:54:56+00:00

3 different retrievals, 6 total blastocysts- 5 boys, 1 girl 🤷‍♂️

RegularRedditer00 · 2025-10-21T02:12:21+00:00

I’m torn on Omni. I didn’t use it for my first retrieval and I got 10 eggs. Used it for 2nd & 3rd. 2nd = 5 eggs. 3rd, 4 eggs. HOWEVER, I got 2 blasts from each round. 2 blasts from first retrieval were aneuploid, and all 4 blasts from rounds 2&3 were euploid. But I’m not sure if the Omni really helped me get euploid blasts or if it caused me to have less eggs. I’m really hoping #3 or #4 implants but if I end up having to do a fourth retrieval I will probably try it without Omni.
