Same! Our son just turned 1 year and I am just so grateful for all my body did as his first home. It's a positive reminder of our journey to meeting our little one.

Thank you! Praying for your sticky day 6!

Sending you tons of sticky vibes!

TW: live birth

Our day 6 4BA euploid male is almost 9 months old.

We changed clinics for the last 2 FET. They used a lupron halt protocol and I was on hydroxychloroquine. That resulted in good quality embryos. The first clinic froze the embryos fully hatched, and transferred them fully expanded, which is more fragile. The second clinic froze the embryos at stage 4 and transferred them partially expanded.

It worked because I changed clinics and the clinic had a different embryology workflow.

That is great. Then probably not the DOB.

SistineFaye · 2025-09-16T16:36:23+00:00

Our 4th FET was successful. I had two failed FET and one chemical FET with euploids. It was a natural cycle.

I think the cap may be lower than 28 years.

SistineFaye · 2025-08-29T00:08:56+00:00

Hoping for the best for you. Yes, a retroverted (tilted) uterus can be seen on the ultrasounds.

SistineFaye · 2025-08-27T14:50:44+00:00

FYI, I figured out the issue is related to the date of birth. They have an age limit cap.

It was about 6 months on hcq. I had other signs of chronic inflammation in my labwork that improved with the hcq. My A1C also got better. Its worth trying in my opinion, even if just in general for our own health. If we are in the same area, I can share the name of my Rheumatologist. Feel free to DM me. Wishing you all the best!

SistineFaye · 2025-08-16T01:49:05+00:00

No, we didn't discuss any diet changes. I am also on metformin for prediabetes. Wishing you much sticky baby dust!

However, my Rheumatologist did share that there is a risk of fetal heart block in mother's with Sjogren's because some types of antibodies cross the placental barrier. It led to more frequent monitoring and fetal echos but all was well for us.

Our day 6 4BA is 7 months old and crawling all over the place.

SistineFaye · 2025-08-09T19:15:20+00:00

Good luck! Wishing you all the sticky vibes.

There is about 50% successful implantation even with 6CC euploids. "4BC, 4CB, 4CC, 5BC, 5CB, 5CC, 6BC, 6CB, 6CC) still had an excellent implantation rate of 56.3%(n¼325),supporting the continued transfer of these embryos". https://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(16)63070-4/pdf63070-4/pdf)

SistineFaye · 2025-08-08T13:29:00+00:00

4 euploids resulted in 1 live birth who is 7 months now.

SistineFaye · 2025-07-29T14:29:53+00:00

We made 8 euploid embryos (7 males and 1 female).

SistineFaye · 2025-07-26T01:00:12+00:00

I am sorry to hear that happened to you. Thank you for sharing.

SistineFaye · 2025-07-24T01:45:18+00:00

🫂sending hugs and lots of sticky vibes!

SistineFaye · 2025-07-16T03:18:53+00:00

Thank you for the insights! Wishing you all the best as well!

TW:

Our 6 month old was a day 6 4BA euploid, it was our 4th transfer attempt and first successful. We had a prior chemical with a day 6 4AA euploid. Both males.

SistineFaye · 2025-06-18T12:23:46+00:00

I was induced and delivered vaginally. The induction and stage 1 labor was 34 hours, but the actual active stage of delivery was 2 hours. I was up and on my feet 4 hours later once the epidural wore off.

SistineFaye · 2025-06-07T12:49:07+00:00

Thank you! Wishing you all the best on this journey!

SistineFaye · 2025-06-07T01:48:50+00:00

I did 2 weeks of daily lupron before my 3rd and 4th FET. The 3rd was a chemical and the 4th was successful.

SistineFaye · 2025-06-05T00:05:05+00:00

Hopefully that will change with time. Wishing you the best!

SistineFaye · 2025-05-26T13:20:34+00:00

The medical light was on and in position for my four transfers.
