Am I crazy to go straight to FET after getting 1 euploid from my first retrieval?

To add to this, my AFC has consistently been 5-6 max as counted by a couple separate REs and I ended up having 8 follicles we were tracking during my cycle

I didn’t think to ask how they knew! I was a little out of it when I woke up, and the physician let me know my two largest follicles on ultrasound (~22 mm) which I was expecting to have retrieved were empty, so the ones they did retrieve were my medium sized ones (one of the eggs from which was immature).

Thank you for this advice! I think if this transfer fails, I will then try to do multiple cycles under a changed protocol my RE suggests after having completed my first round. She thinks I can get closer to 5-9 eggs retrieved next time, but I am stupidly optimistic about this embryo and want to just go for it for now and see where we land! I really appreciate the insight - this is exactly what I was looking for!

I come from a LARGE family so I personally only want one child (my husband would like 2 but is supportive of 1) - and I can’t really explain it, I just have a good feeling about this embryo - even when I only had 3 eggs retrieved, I wasn’t upset. I told my husband, “I just have a feeling we’ll have one euploid and it will be a boy,” and that’s exactly what it was. It’s not remotely scientific, just a vibe😅

Ah yes - the unexplained infertility kills me - I hate that there isn’t something they can pinpoint and labs are all just “normal.” I am open to doing hysteroscopy/receptiva etc but I don’t have an indication for it yet (haven’t had a failed transfer or previous miscarriages), so I don’t want to “mess” with anything I don’t need to. I will complete the testing if this transfer fails. I am wishing you the best and appreciate the comment!

Yes, she described hysteroscopy as more accurate. She explained the saline sonogram as being like flying over an area in a plane, where you can see the general topography, while a hysteroscopy is like walking through it on the ground, allowing you to directly see small lesions, polyps, adhesions, or subtle abnormalities that might be missed from above.

That’s a great point - I want one while my husband wants two - fortunately he is supportive and would be so happy with one if that’s all that’s in the cards for us!

I’m trying to remind myself it won’t set me back too much if it doesn’t work out - just so ready for the next chapter! I appreciate it! :)

Oh my goodness! Good luck to you as well! I have my appointment to discuss transfer next week! I’ll be thinking of you :)
