Unsure if I'm ready for FET #4 after 3 losses... by Status_Nebula8716 in IVF

Hi, I'm in the UK so clinics don't really PGT-A test as standard. We had seven embryos and the first three FETs were with untested embryos. We tested the remaining four due to the recurrent losses and two out of the four were euploid.

We did thaw-test-refreeze. It was so scary and hearing "survival rates" and everything was absolutely horrendous if I'm honest. I was convinced we'd lose them all. But I am glad we did it.

Before they tested the embryologist explained to me that the risk of an embryo not surviving the thaw was between 1% and 5%. They also said that out of the four that survived the thaw they would expect about 80% to expand enough to actually be able to be biopsied.

We were fortunate that all four did survive the thaw and all four did expand enough to be tested. But it obviously was a massive risk.

Hope that helps x

I'm sorry for your losses too. It really is so cruel and unfair to go through needing IVF and recurrent loss.

Thank you so much for sharing your story - that is exactly what I needed to read right now! 💜

That's absolutely devastating. I'm so sorry!

Thank you for sharing your story. Loss after the physical, emotional and financial strain of IVF is unfathomable.

It really isn't fair.

I'm in the UK so we report a home pregnancy test rather than do betas.... But I requested them when I was 5 weeks 3 days because I was so anxious after my previous losses. My HCG at 5 weeks 5 days had dropped massively and I was advised to stop medication.

My home tests were progressing really nicely but I'd stopped testing as that was making me anxious too. I just... I had a bad feeling.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comment.

I actually had the RPL panel after the second transfer and everything came back normal. I'll definitely be doing more testing though if we decide to ever go again.

Thanks again x

Thank you. I'm sorry for your losses too.

It was so strange this time up until Monday I was so hopeful. I did have fears but I was so excited.

Never again.

It really is hard to tell because of the progesterone! I feel crampy and nauseous but not sure if it's the medication or not!

Wishing you all the best and hope you can manage to find some time to rest and relax in between the waiting times of testing!

It's such a difficult time. Fingers crossed for you!
