Any success stories out there after multiple failed FETs? Feeling discouraged after learning of my second failed FET. Would welcome any words of encouragement or recs for questions for my RE.

💁‍♀️ after my 1st failed cycle (didn’t even get to FET), I changed docs and we planned on 3 back to back cycles with only one FET after. Out of all that we ended up with only 2 embryos and our son! I expect you know your diagnosis at this point so research to make sure you are with the right doc and ask him/her why. Did you do PGS testing? Was it lining? Is it embryo quality? Did the embryos successfully expand before implant? There could be a ton of reasons... your doc should be able to help pinpoint and suggest options. If not, you can take any frozen embies to another clinic! Or perhaps just setup a consult with another place for a second opinion.

Hang in there - suggest exploring a different clinic. We had a failed IUI and during our research found that historical success rates of the fertility lab is the single most important factor. We switched to the one with the highest on our area. I would also recommend going with ICSI if it is male factor.

Can’t offer advice but you’re not alone. Going through IVF while on the road with this job is exhausting to say nothing of emotionally draining...I’m with you.

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired.

I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.
