who has had bfp with frozen embroys

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Df and I have had 3 lots of private ivf in the past 2yrs, getting up to £20k ouch, but would gladly pay any amount if had worked but as we all know there is now guarantee :(

sadly all 3 failed, tho 3rd attempt we managed to freeze 5 embroys which didnt happen in 1&2

Financially, emotionally and mentally we are at our limit :( but also know we have 5 chances still and have to take them

depending what you read some say frozen arent as a good and others say better

obv the cost is less then a normal cycle plus less drugs, no injections - whoop :) and clinic says it takes about 20 days starting from your period

who has had a successful pregnancy out of a frozen cycle

Thank you xx

Hi,

I had a successful 2 day frozen embryo transfer and my little girl is nearly one. I had 4 embryos, the first 2 (fresh cycle?) failed and with my FET, one failed to defrost and the 4th is our DD.

Good luck!

I also had glue on 3nd cycle and 3 implanted and zilch

Tho the glue was free as my clinic had just got it and was doing trials with it. Following month the charged patients

[waitingimpatient]

I tried embryoglue last time and that's meant to help implantation but it didn't work (and it was £350!)

[waitingimpatient]

I think there are lots of aspects with immunes. I have thyroid antibodies but there are other ones called nk killer cells too and others

I had aspirin last time and have to have clexane and steroids this time. Some people have Intralipids to help too

[Blondeshavemorefun]

What do you mean by immunes?

Wish they knew why implantation doesn't work :(

And why some low grades take and some high grades don't

[waitingimpatient]

Yes just one failed FET. Could not have a fresh transfer after mild IVF before that as risk of ohss was high

With FET things looked good so I was surprised when it failed :( I do have thyroid problems though so may be that. I just was a bit worried about day 2 embryos but it's all I've got so maybe I need to be positive. I'm at create

Sorry Impatient I missed your message about the embryos. Have you spoken to the embryologist about it? It does seem a high drop off rate from 16 eggs and might be useful to get their point of view on why that happened. Which clinic are you at if you don't mind me asking?

[Dannygirl]

Impatient mine were blasts but I have heard many stories of top grade blast embryos not implanting and equally earlier stage embryos implanting. Implantation is a bit of a medical mystery as I understand it and there are lots of things at play. Have you just had the one failed cycle so far do you mind me asking or more? If multiple failed cycles it may be worth seeing if there are any underlying issues eg immunes which is what we discovered about me. All the very best with it xxx

My gorgeous 13 month old DD is a FET. First cycle with 2 FET wasn't successful, but second with just one embryo was. Good luck!

[Blondeshavemorefun]

again i was told frosties (do love that term) take 30mins ish to defrost, they check for an hour ish if ok/dont die then implant, but if something happens and cant implant /traffic jam etcthen can survive 12hrs ish

so i dont think its possible to defrost and nuture for 24/48hrs without them dying

but check with your clinic

as i said ive never heard of freezing day 2, but if you had 16 and all others died :( then maybe the clinic thought this was the best chance of survival?

maybe do a new post asking about day 2, you might get better replies

After lots of unsuccessful treatment, we had a cycle with donor eggs, and I was pregnant but miscarried. A few months later I had two FET transferred; both implanted but at the first scan one was no longer growing. The other is now four years old. My second DS is nearly two, from a single FET. Try not to worry; frozen can be fine!
Rnbrie, thank you for being a donor. Our boys bring us so much joy. You did something wonderful.

[waitingimpatient]

I know, I wasn't particularly happy to be honest that two were frozen so soon on day 2and then the next on day 3
At my appointments I had been told we would try for blastocysts and then I had ec and got 16 eggs but by day 2 only 6 embryos left and they froze two then one the next day (others didn't make it) so I am feeling quite negative about it all

One thing I'm wondering is if it's a possibility to thaw them at day 2 and for the clinic to culture them to day 3 or 5 ? To give a better chance?

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Rnbrie. That's a lovely thing you did. A real gift to a childless couple

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Tbh I've never heard of 2 days embryos - I was under the impression if they didn't last 3 days they were useless ?

But apologies if that's not right

Why didn't they leave for 3 days then freeze or let alone blast them then leave to 5 and freeze

My last fresh was a 5day AAA basically the best you can get - it failed :(

My friend years ago had 3day grade c x2 transferred and told poor quality and not to get hopes up - and my godson and twin is 11 now !!!!

Seems makes no diff on grade iyswim

[waitingimpatient]

Can I ask whether people's embryos were day 2/3/5 embryos ?

I had a FeT in October with a top grade day 3 embryo but it failed. We have 2 day 2 embryos frozen and I'm worried there's very little chance of success with a day 2 embryo so would love to hear of any success stories

[RNBrie]

I donated eggs. The fresh cycle failed but they had a daughter from a frozen cycle a year later. Best of luck

[lucieloos]

It's not actually double the chance that one will take if you put 2 back. It only increases the chance of success by a small amount but greatly increases the likelihood of twins.

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Meant to say thanks lemon

[Blondeshavemorefun]

I had one fresh and have 5 good Frosties

They've given me a chance to have 2 back now where as fresh they said only one

I'm really dithering as I'm 42.5 so will be 43.5 if successful when born and tho I love twins (I'm a nanny and maternity nurse) and have twins at moment for work - if I had twins I would struggle to work - plus would I be worn out....,,,,,,,

Tho if they put two back then double chance least one will take

[lovesLemonDrizzleCake]

Blonds no both my FET were SET. They were nice blasts though... I couldn't have dealt with twins and since I was "young" (34 at the time) and we made so many good embies (1 fresh transfer and 6 frosties) they strongly adviced only to do SET at the first few attempts.

[Lamaitresse]

My two year old dd was a frozen embryo. I really didn't think a FET would work but it did!

Good luck

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Never heard of a clinic saying they can't help you anymore - but obv going to a different one worked for you :)

[Dannygirl]

Hi there, the first clinic said they couldn't help me any more after several failed attempts but I wasn't ready to give up so I found a clinic with better success rates who pioneered new treatments (ARGC). Apparently moving clinics is more common that we might think! Even internationally. All the best of luck X

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Unusual to change clinics/transfer

Can I ask why?

Did you have doubts about clinic?

And yah for 2yr

So seems Frosties are capable of attaching as well as fresh?

[Dannygirl]

I had success with a little frostie, he was frozen for about 3 years and transferred between clinics on a courier! He is now a gorgeous nearly 2 year old. Go for it! And very best of luck xxxx
