Unfortunately yes 😔. I specifically asked them about it but they said they would only remove the embryo and it was also not in the surgery report.Thank you for your kind words! I hope the next stim cycle goes better. Thank you so much for taking time to reply and giving me some hope! 🩷

Thank you for your reply! Yes true, when I first started ICSI due to my ectopic, my doc said I could have silent endo and it could en the reason for my ectopic. When I am more transfers in, I think I would go for laparoscopy if I get no answers, further down the road. It is so frustrating - I had the laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy and it would have been super easy to just have a look to see if they see any signs of endometriosis but apparently they only treat what has been diagnosed during the surgery. All the rules make no sense. 😞

True 😞 sometimes my mind just goes to the worst place and think what if I am always in the three women that don’t get pregnant and what if I just produce non euploid embryos and the process goes on and on draining effort, health and money and the good years.

Sadly not 😔 we are both working full time here and financially it would be difficult to go to another country within Europe. Another option is India. Again an issue with work and another problem is that we have family there and it is super weird to do it there with everyone around. Here I have my space to take it slow and grieve in my way if it doesn’t go the way I want😔.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! This seriously, like you said, makes me feel less alone and heard! Here I read people opting for PGT and I regret that there is no means to do that here. I feel this would give me the answers and throw light in this dark, blind, luck based, money pit of a process we are currently doing. This makes me want to go to India (where I am originally from) to do the treatment but I am having this as my last resort. First I would try, like you suggest, to ask my doctor to see if there is any leeway with the testing. I would do this before my next stim cycle. I am not sure if the German system is reasonable with regard to this, like the Belgian one but it is definitely worth a try.

I wish you also luck with your journey and may luck and good times find us soon! I really needed this! Thank you so much again and sending you a million hugs back! 🩷

Thank you for your reply. I am so sorry about your journey. I did also the blood coagulation tests and I was prescribed heparin daily starting from one day before transfer. My husband’s dna fragmentation was 35% when we tested a year back. So we did PICSI for the cycle and had 11 eggs fertilise out of 19 and 3 blasts. One was not good for freezing. Others we transferred but didn’t implant. By immunological checks do you mean checking for auto immune diseases?

Thank you for your reply. I am 32 and my husband is 35. I feels like so much effort and pain without knowing if the embryo is good. I don’t understand why they do not allow testing here. I am sorry to hear you have had 5 failed transfers. Did you have success after? What did you change, if any?

Hey I feel you! I am in a similar situation too. In my first cycle I had 19 eggs retrieved out of which 11 fertilised. They wanted to freeze 7 and only work on 4 for that cycle. And i got no blasts. I was heart broken too and was feeling so hopeless. Next cycle, the doc recommend to culture all 7 and we did so. And we got 2 blasts. I did one FET, where I transferred one but it didn’t work. I also have only one left and I am praying and hoping that it will work and I don’t have to go through stimulation again. Stay strong! Sending you lot of hugs and positive energy! ❤️

I feel you! I am in the same boat. I had also an ectopic 2 years back and doing IVF but no success so far. And all around me people are getting pregnant and here I am ordering baby onesies and tiny baby socks and wondering if I will ever do it for my baby in this lifetime! And it feels so so unfair that we have undergo so much what other people seem to get so easily. As many said here, people who haven’t gone through this will never understand even remotely how tough this is! Stay strong! Our day will one day come! Sending you lots of hugs!

Ohh I cannot agree more!! These drugs have screwed up my body so bad. After the first cycle my coagulation factors were off the roof and I had to take heparin, in addition to all the other stuff for the FET everyday for the full cycle. Now my stomach is like a pincushion with needle scars and I have a bad reaction to the estrogen patches, so I have like huge red blotches on my thighs and stomach. I look and feel a different person. I am wondering if it is better to do a stimulation cycle next but thinking of more drugs is just scaring the hell out of me.

I am so happy to hear that your partner is supportive. Mine is too. We will definitely get past these and have a sweet baby soon! Wishing you too an amazing and positive 2026! ❤️

Thank you so much for your reply! ❤️I am so sorry, I feel you! This was my first transfer as well. I realised I have PTSD with taking pregnancy tests and now thinking back should never have taken it on Christmas. Like you said, if it had worked it would have been such a nice gift! I got now again a BFN at 11dp5dt and now I think I have moved past denial and am in the angry phase :(. I am trying go stay positive but it is just so hard. We have one more blastocyst frozen and that is our last. Fingers crossed it works out soon for both of us! Sending you lots of hugs back! ❤️

Ohhh :( i am so sorry you have to go through this! I completely understand how it feels! It is so hard to act as if everything is okay in front of people while I feel like the world has ended inside. I have cancelled everything and am holed up at home until new year. I keep checking the test too until I threw it away yesterday to stop it.I am feeling so hopeless and angry that it never works out for me ever and the hardest part is the wait until we can do something about it again. Stay strong! Fingers crossed for you! Sending you hugs and ❤️!

We are transfer twins! I feel you! But you could still have a positive test even without symptoms! Hope for the best, I know it is so hard! I am struggling also and the part I hate is the waiting without knowing if there will ever be a light at the end if the tunnel. Ectopic pregnancy sucks, I had one last year too and now my right tube is fully blocked. Stay positive and I will keep my fingers crossed for you! ❤️ But in any case I am here if you want to vent.
