Positive stories following a chemical FET?

[TheBirdintheCave]

Anyone out there have some success stories following a chemical pregnancy? We transferred our 5AB embryo a few weeks ago (first transfer as we had a freeze all) and are now watching the line fade away. We have five left in the bank (4AB, 4BB x3 and 3BB)

I'm terrified that they'll all do the same thing when implanted and that we'll be left with no baby at the end 😭

Good morning! So sorry you are going through this. I had one a couple of months ago and now just hoping for a better outcome this time.

I think accepting the unknown of this process is a battle on its own. Nobody gives guarantees and no matter how many positive or negative stories you read/hear, ultimately, it's your body and everyone else's case is different. All we can do is hope that things will turn out better and be realistic and positive, in case they don't.

I was distraught after my bad news last time and took me a long time to recover. I only had one embryo, so I had to start everything from scratch. It was awful. And I don't know of things work this time either! I think the best advice I got was to try to stay in the moment, not think of the worst case scenario. Your current situation is that you still have 3 frozen embryos, 3 chances!! So try focus on that. And hope one of them sticks. Accept things one day at a time. 💙

Sending you good wishes.

@TheBirdintheCave so sorry your going through this, it can happen, take it from someone who has been there. After trying to conceive for 7 years we started IVF last May, first transfer worked but I miscarried at 8 weeks. I never for one second expected that first cycle to work, I had never seem a second line before then.

Another 2 cycles went ahead and failed even with top grade embryos, each time I was on a massive downer wondering when was my time. What I was told and what ill say to you is you did get pregnant, that might have been something you wasn't even sure was possible, I wasn't sure if I ever could. That thought did get me through some dark days. I held onto that as I was still a step ahead than I ever had been before.

Luckily this cycle worked after a few alterations to the meds and I got my BFP, its still really early days and ill probably panic and stress for many months to come. Every cycle that comes and fail knocks us down but each time we keep getting back up and trying again, that positivity and determination will get you what you want. Hang in there, miracles do happen x

@TheBirdintheCave and you have 5 good quality embryos waiting for you which I'm sure will take away some of your stress (not much probably but a little). Good luck.

@TheBirdintheCave please can I ask how you got on? My first fresh failed and first FET failed and then my third transfer which was a medicated FET worked - implanted - strong positive at 12dp 5dt but then gradually reduced and my HCG was 22 at 14 days past which I knew because I tested again and it was faint. :( I feel broken. I have my review next week and wondering if my Dr will want to repeat the same protocol assuming it could be the embryo but who knows then I feel bad because I didn’t think it had worked so maybe I wasn’t as on top with meds etc. I just feel nervous that my partner and myself have our hopes up for the future but there are no guarantees :(

We actually had a bit of a miracle in between transfers and I got pregnant naturally. Currently 8 weeks and everything is ok so far! 🙏🏻

I don't think it will have been anything you did that meant you had a chemical ❤️ I think it's just luck of the draw with the embryo.

We were doing IVF as we were suffering recurrent miscarriage (just bad luck apparently as they were different types every time) and wanted to speed up the getting pregnant part as we struggled there too. I'm hoping this time we got genetically lucky!

I have everything crossed for you that your next one sticks ❤️
