Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.

I am sorry to hear that OP. Your feeling is totally valid. Stay hopeful and start thinking the next step....you still have two available.....

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Just had my 2nd transfer, too early to know what the outcome is. But generally have a really hard time being optimistic after a similar 1st FET failed. Embryo was PGT tested, best quality, hormone level right, and lining was “great”. I went right into another transfer cycle with the same protocol, and also not really sure how to cope. Wishing you the best of luck and wish I had some advice but know you’re not alone!

Thank you! And best of luck to you too for round 2!

Keep your head up, you will get there eventually. Talking to a fertility therapist helped us quite a bit. Sadly it’s a numbers game and maybe you just got unlucky this time around. If two normal embryos fail it’s worth doing some testing to see if anything has been missed that can be corrected. Wish you the best

Thank you so much!

Similar situation as you. All the numbers looked good, but got a negative result a few days ago. Only have 1 good embryo remaining :(

That’s amazing!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your uplifting story!

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET. I had my hydrosonogram, trial embryo transfer, and an overall check of my uterus. Due to my muscle thickness, they're recommending with my next pregnancy to have another c-section. I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.
