Devastated over our failed transfer. It was an absolute failure with no implantation at all.
Lining was 10.1 at last check and everything went great. Fully medicated cycle. It was an easy process with our “best” embryo. I assumed our day 5 4BA would be transferred first, but the embryology team went with our day 6 4AA instead. We have 5 euploid embryos left, one of which is a Day 7 5AA.

We are diagnosed unexplained infertility. I’m 30 and husband is 29. 3 years with no success besides a PUL from a third IUI, which was traumatic.

First ER failed miserably. Started with 29 eggs, 20 mature, 18 fertilized, only 2 day 6 4BB blasts which came back aneuploid.

Second retrieval we had similar beginning numbers but ended up with 8 blasts, 6 euploid. We used Omnitrope and conventional fertilization with ZyMot for that cycle. I assumed we had trouble making embryos and that was our “unexplained” infertility. But now not so sure..

I am trying to decide next steps. My doctor said some people choose to pause and move onto additional testing of the uterus

Would it be foolish of me to move forward with a second transfer and then do testing if the second fails? I guess in my mind they say there’s a 90-95% chance of having one of the first two stick.

If that doesn’t happen, I’m assuming something else is going on and I don’t want to waste more embryos.

I suppose I’m looking for input from people that might’ve had a similar issue.

Side note:

This process really sucks and my husband and I keep finding ourselves on the crappy side of statistics. When we first got tested a couple years ago, I never would have guessed we would’ve had this much trouble. The weird thing is I always thought I’d have issues with infertility for some reason. I never took birth control or anything because I was paranoid that it would hurt my fertility in the future. It did me no good, because here I am today. I hate this so much and I wouldn’t wish an experience like this on my worst enemy. The only “good” that has come out of this is that it has brought my husband and I very close together, which I’m so thankful for but still sad overall

I took a clear blue early digital yesterday evening (7dpt) and it came back negative. I think those are supposed to pick up hcg at 10, so I’m counting myself out this cycle.

This cycle was fully medicated and I didn’t like it at all. I am going to ask my doctor if we can do a modified natural cycle next cycle. If you have experience with both, can you let me know which one you preferred?

I appreciate this page and the hope it brings. I appreciate any positive outcome stories that can be shared! Looking for hope as I navigate disappointment from this cycle 😅

Side note/mini rant: My post was removed from the main IVF page yesterday because I mentioned pregnancy? Even though the pregnancy mentioned was unsuccessful? Super weird and not helpful at all lol

Background: I went through an IVF cycle. At the time, my fertility clinic submitted pre authorization on several codes, one of which was for embryo storage.

UHC said they will cover cryopreservation for the first year. Awesome!

Fast forward to now. I get a letter from the fertility STORAGE company (not the clinic) saying I’m past due 2 months of payment ($200). I call them and they say they don’t accept UHC. I’ll have to pay them directly and then they’ll provide me a paid invoice to submit to UHC for reimbursement. I’ve never done this.. but okay!

I submitted the claim with the receipt. The claim now says processing is complete. It says out of network and the plan discount is $200 and the amount owed is $0. I’m confused. Does this mean that UHC isn’t going to reimburse me?

I’m so nervous. I feel like I’ve been on the bad side of statistics throughout this process.

Three years of unexplained infertility. A PUL from our third and final IUI. A failed first retrieval. Finally a bit of success using ZyMot and Omnitrope with the second retrieval. We ended up with 6 euploid blasts out of 20 mature eggs.

Today we are using our only day 5. I know it’s common for the first FET not to work, but I’m trying to hold out some cautious hope (very difficult!) I feel like there’s no way this can work, but I keep pushing forward and hoping for the best 🥲 posts on this sub give me some hope.

I appreciate any luck that can be sent my way!
