2 chemical pregnancies, 1 ectopic

[hopefu1L]

Hello,

I started the IVF process 1 year ago and it has been an emotionally draining process. After egg collection, I developed ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome and was in hospital twice for this so had to have a freeze-all cycle. I remained positive as we got 7 frozen day 5 blastocysts from this cycle! I was naive to think that we would get pregnant from these as it seemed a good number! First transfer was BFP but turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. 2nd transfer was BFN. Third transfer was BFP but again another chemical pregnancy. Fourth transfer was BFP but at 5 weeks I had severe abdominal pain and was fainting and this turned out to be a ruptured ovarian ectopic! I had surgery but luckily nothing was removed.

I am beginning to feel this just isn't meant to be. Everything that can go wrong, seems to go wrong and I wonder if I am just not capable of being pregnant. I am scared to try again incase of further complications but still have 3 frozen embryos left.

My doctor thinks it is just bad luck. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I am contemplating whether to give up and accept this is just not meant to be :(

If anyone has had a similar experience, please reply! I need some tips / hope that things may get better

Hey, I’m so sorry you’re going through a rough time too. I have had 3x iui (one ectopic) and now 1x ivf hatching blastocyst transfer and I x FET with no sniff of a chemical pregnancy. I have two frozen blasts left from that cycle.
However I have now changed clinics as I wasn’t happy with the it’s just bad luck line given I’m only just 34. New clinic said that my egg quality was probably not great as embryologist had noted they were pitted, so despite being blastocysts they would have a high chance of genetic abnormalities. They also discovered my thyroid function has plummeted with my TSH being well above the 2.5 recommended for conception and so I need to get that sorted before I start again.
He recommended PGS testing on my remaining embryos but to be honest I am just going to do a whole new fresh cycle with them using growth hormone and something else they recommended, then PGS and transfer the best one. I’m not prepared to put myself through any more transfers without knowing I’ve got the best possible chance.
In short I would really recommend getting a second opinion at a different clinic, it could be you have some issues they have missed like mine. Good luck xx
