How many of you had a first transfer success? Curious to hear what issues prevent it from happening

A ton of issues can prevent it from being successful unfortunately.

Genetic abnormalities
Embryo quality
Anatomy (shape of uterus, polyps, etc.)
Endo/adenomyosis
Timing
Transfer protocol
Microbiome
Lining thickness and quality
High histamine
Immune issues
Inflammation
Hormone imbalance (low progesterone is a common one)
Hydrosalpinx
…and very likely more that science hasn’t found yet

8 embryos PGT tested.
5 came back normal.
First transfer success.

Yeah, E2. They were more than doubling, eventually tripling. I ended up w a number in the late 8000’s. Should have asked about a Lupron trigger, but chickened out.

Eggs were in the 30’s. 27 mature. 15 fert. 8 day 5’s. 5 came back PGT norm.

Retrieval 1: No PGS testing
A) Fresh transfer - 🚫 didn’t take (negative pregnancy test)
B) Frozen transfer - ✅ successful, healthy pregnancy, now our toddler.

C) Retrieval 2: PGS tested embryos
Frozen transfer - ✅ successful, healthy pregnancy, now baby

Just did a fresh transfer exactly one week ago. So I don't know anything yet! But it looks a lot of people are doing frozen transfer......

That sounds fun 😁😁 eat well and take care of yourself and enjoy the pregnancy journey. :)

I had 2 failed transfers with pga tested embryos - highest quality. My RE agrees to do an ERA and my results showed that I need an extra day of progesterone. I’ve had 3 embryos stick afterwards!

Thanks for sharing.

Mine was unsuccessful, my anatomy I think made the placement very difficult. My second one (successful) they put me under anesthesia and said the placement was very smooth. I attribute that to the success vs. the smaller changes I made like allergy meds, Pepcid, additional acupuncture, diet, etc.

FET, PGT testes embryo:healthiest of the lot, first time success and I have no clue how it worked except someone somewhere up there looked out for us. Now, even though I always wanted another one, husband and I are very apprehensive of going through the transfer process again. We have a family history of stillbirths, neonatal deaths, miscarriages and going through all that takes a really hard toll on mental and physical health.

It is so hard and with the jobs we have :( even more. Somehow me and my husband have a hundred obstacles the past couple years apart from IVF. It has been incredibly stressful to manage it all and I absolutely have no idea how everyone does . Real warriors for sure. We just pretend it is normal. Works most days except for a couple days when it weighs heavily on us

My best friend had first transfer success, but miscarriage at week 7- unexplained since that would have usually happened due to abnormal genetics, but was not the case. She did her second transfer ~6 months after the MC, it took, and she is 36 weeks pregnant right now.

Fascinating- sad of course. But I’m so happy you ended up with a baby second time around. :)
Infertility is so so strange.

First transfer success (frozen, PGT normal) but miscarried at 15 weeks likely due to an arcuate uterus only discovered in the D&C.

Very sorry to hear. Please dm if you want to talk

What were all your transfer medications like?

I’m not familiar with them but based on other posts I’ve seen it appears they are messy.
