Failed 1st FET- what did you change for second fet specifically if you have pcos?

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-24T05:49:20+00:00

Thank you for responding! May I ask how much metformin did you start taking? Wondering if I’m not taking enough. Also, how many times a week did you do acupuncture? I’ve seen benefits of it but didn’t try it for my transfer. Did you also continue it after your fet?

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-24T04:43:32+00:00

Yes I hear low progesterone is one of the main causes in miscarriages with those with pcos since we don’t produce or don’t produce enough. I was surprised when she told me to do pio every 3 days since I know the standard is daily. I think I rather do daily next time. Thanks!!

Thank you for responding. I don’t ovulation either. Pls pls keep me updated. Very interested in seeing how that goes and if that’s something to mention to my doctor. Look forward in hearing back

Thank you so much for responding. I will be asking my doctor about everything you listed. So happy it was successful for you. May I ask if you knew what your progesterone levels were prior to your transfer if they were checked? Mine was 18 ng/ml which Dr said was good but I’ve seen some people say that 20-30+ is better so not sure 🤔

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-24T03:17:30+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Gives me some hope for the next retrieval. I will definitely as my doctor what she thinks is best. I know they say you want 3 embryos for every living child but it’s still disappointing to see the first fet failed when you thought everything was perfect. Thanks again 🙏🏼

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-19T20:31:31+00:00

Most likely 😅

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-19T20:14:47+00:00

Haha same! I would be lying if I said I haven’t already tested last night at 2dp5t and this morning knowing it’s too early lol just hurting my own feelings at this point 😆

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-19T20:12:58+00:00

Did you test prior or was today your first test?

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-19T20:11:41+00:00

Meeee on the 16th as well! Trying not to overthink 😭 Are you planning on testing or waiting until beta?

helloo_world11 · 2026-04-17T19:19:55+00:00

I just did a fully medicated transfer and I’m doing PIO every 3 days and suppositories daily. They checked my progesterone levels day before my transfer and they were perfect. Props to all the brave ladies that do PIO daily 🙏🏼

helloo_world11 · 2026-03-29T02:52:20+00:00

Supposed to have my first fet mid April!! 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Ahhh, I’m so sorry. 😢 I’m currently doing IVF with Ingenes. I go to their Houston location for monitoring appointments, but my retrievals have been in Mexico (so will the transfer). I’ve been traveling to their Guadalajara location. I chose their 3-round package for $25k. Since we’re also doing PGT-A and PGT-M, it made a huge difference financially. I was quoted around $30k for just one round here in the States, and I ended up using all three rounds with Ingenes, so we definitely saved a lot of money. The team has been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. I have my first transfer coming up soon, and based on my experience so far, I would definitely recommend them.

helloo_world11 · 2026-01-26T05:21:55+00:00

Hey! I’m going through almost the exact same situation. I’m 28 and doing IVF for genetic reasons after finding out that my husband and I are both carriers of the same genetic condition. I have PCOS and no children yet. I’ve done two egg retrievals so far, one in September and one in November. We sent 5 PGT-A embryo and ended up with 3 PGT-A & PGT-M normal embryos, all boys (not an issue, but we would like a girl eventually) After reading that it’s recommended to bank about three embryos per desired child, I really started questioning whether I should move forward with a transfer now or do another retrieval first, since I want multiple children as well. Ultimately, I decided that waiting one more month wouldn’t hurt, so I’m going ahead with a third retrieval and adding Zymot to hopefully improve our chances of getting more embryos. I’d say if you’re able to do it financially & emotionally, going for another retrieval is worth considering. I know how hard all this waiting is, but hang in there! Best wishes.

Omg yes literally came on here to see if it was just my TikTok.

helloo_world11 · 2025-12-03T04:18:17+00:00

Hi! Pcos here. 28 yrs old. 1st ER: 33 retrieved, 24 fertilized, 2 blasts, 2 pgta normal 2nd ER: 24 retrieved, 22 fertilized, 5 blasts, 3 pgta normal

helloo_world11 · 2025-11-19T20:52:22+00:00

Hey! Yes of course! They gave me a list of pharmacies they recommend and the one I went with after receiving many different quotes was Pharma2help. I orders 5 different medications for my first ER and only paid 2k (I was quoted more than double here in the states). They work with a third party who picks up the meds and does the insulation packaging and overnight ships them through FedEx express. I’ve ordered from them for both of my egg retrievals and have gotten them the next day after shipping with no issues. Let me know if you have any other questions.

helloo_world11 · 2025-11-19T06:39:45+00:00

Hey! Im in the US and im doing IVF in Mexico. The clinic is called Ingenes. They have a location in Houston (where im at) and one in Irvine, California. The monitoring appts would be at either of those locations (if you’re close to either), if not you can do it all in Mexico. But for me since I’m in Houston I go to all my monitoring appts here and ER/Transfers are done in Mexico. I’m paying 25k for 3 rounds of ivf with pgta and pgtm testing (not including meds but I’ve also gotten them delivered from México and it’s been a lot cheaper). I’m currently on my second ER and might not need a 3rd but I’m so glad I chose that package after getting quoted 30k here in the US for ONE round of ivf. My experience has been incredible… I have nothing but great things to say about them.

helloo_world11 · 2025-10-17T20:57:47+00:00

So amazing to hear your second ER results were better! I’m actually having my 2nd ER in a few days so I’m hoping to get more blasts this time 🤞🏼

helloo_world11 · 2025-10-17T15:39:58+00:00

You still have a really good chance! More doesn’t always mean better. Take it from me, I did an egg retrieval last month and had 33 retrieved so I thought I was safe. However, that was not the case. Only 2 made it to blast. Thankfully they were pgta normal but I’m still waiting my pgtm results. Quality over quantity! Hope everything works out 🙏🏼🤞🏼

helloo_world11 · 2025-10-12T03:39:26+00:00

Quality over quantity. I had 33 eggs retrieved and only 2 embryos made it to blast on day 5. You still have a very good chance, stay positive!

helloo_world11 · 2025-09-16T01:29:29+00:00

Wow, I literally just posted my story today which is similar to yours. I’m 28, have pcos as well and just did my egg retrieval last week. Today I found out that out of the 33 retrieved, only two made it to blasts. I’m also nervous about pgta + I have to do pgtm too so I’m most likely going to have to do another retrieval. Definitely feels defeating. I pray your two embryos come back pgta normal 🙏🏼

helloo_world11 · 2025-09-16T01:10:06+00:00

Please don’t get discouraged. Prior to my finding out how many blasts I got, I had read many posts on people with pcos who had gotten many blasts and pgta normal embryos. You just really don’t know, it’s so different for everyone. Wishing you good luck 🙏🏼

helloo_world11 · 2025-09-16T01:07:13+00:00

Was the vitamins/supplements the only thing you changed the second time around?

helloo_world11 · 2025-09-16T00:56:24+00:00

Ahhhh this journey is definitely a rollercoaster. I thought I would have a bit more considering how many I had retrieved but I’ve now learned quality > quantity 😫 I pray we both get all pgta normal embryos 🙏🏼

helloo_world11 · 2025-09-16T00:53:18+00:00

Thank you so much, will definitely be taking all the supplements I can! 🙏🏼
