Miscarriage after IVF

[Toots27]

Edit from previous postHello, I just wanted to post on here incase anyone is else is going through the same thing or has been and can offer reassurance.

I recently have miscarried at 7 weeks following ICSI IVF. It was a MMC and detected at my first scan… but deep down I knew it wasn’t going to be good news… I don’t know how, I just did. I had been worrying since I saw then that the positive, but perhaps as it was my first BFP ever that added to it. This was an our second round of IVF but we used ICSI (first round we did normal IVF but none of the eggs fertilised). We did well with ICSI and got 5 good quality blastocysts. 4 were frozen and a hatching 5AA was put inside of me. Since then, our doctor has said that blastocyst aren’t on a beauty pageant parade and it doesn’t really matter what grade it is… I hope that’s true as that was our best one.

I suppose I’m looking for hope, that people have gone on to get pregnant after miscarriage through IVF… just feeling quite low but trying to be hopeful.

So sorry you experienced that after the toll of ivf, and I don't have an exact experience but just to say on grading, I had the best 5aa hatching blastocyst transferred and it didn't implant at all, then 2 months later the next one (frozen) did! So our "best" one didn't work and although we don't know exactly what grade the next one was, it was as "good" as the first and yet thats now our 11 month old maniac son. Fingers crossed for your next transfer xx

Sorry it WASNT as good as **

Thank you so much @Imisscoffee2021 for replying and giving me some hope. I’m so sorry you had a miscarriage too. I really appreciate you taking the time out to do this and hopefully we will have a similar story to yours❤️ congratulations on your pregnancy too :) xxxx

I can't personally offer a post-miscarriage positive experience as I've unfortunately had two FETS, two BFP's, two miscarriages.

However I can also provide reassurance about gradings :) One of my good friends had a fresh transfer of absolute highest grade embryo and didn't get pregnant. She then had a much lower grade frozen embryo transferred that is now her little boy.

@Toots27 I’m sorry you’ve had a bad experience on your first BFP. Unfortunately IVF / ICSI doesn’t protect you from the normal experiences of miscarriage. Not sure at what point your pregnancy stopped progressing, but I had a chemical pregnancy (so very early miscarriage) on my first ever BFP too. I also knew in my gut something wasn’t right. We needed another egg collection after that, and did a freeze-all. The first FET we did (so first transfer after the CP) is now our 21 month old. We got really lucky that the first FET we did to try for a sibling worked, and now 24 weeks pregnant. Our 5AA embryo resulted in a BFN my
CP and pregnancies have alL be with “worse” graded embryos. Grading really isn’t everything. Wishing you the best of luck when you’re ready to try again x

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. IVF is a long emotional journey without the added stress of a miscarriage.
We got pregnant on our first attempt and miscarried at 8 weeks. We went on to have a further 2 transfers which both failed to implant.
The 4th transfer was a success and is now our beautiful 12 week old son.
What kept me going was being told that I did actually get pregnant which is half the battle (we had never got pregnant in the 7 years of trying naturally).
Hang in there, your time will come x

@Hoppy1985 @2mumlife @SH998 thank you so much for your messages ❤️ Honestly I am so grateful for you taking time out to reply.

@Hoppy1985 I’m so sorry for what you have been through too and I hope your time comes too ❤️

@Toots27 I don’t have a success story to share yet. But I can emphasise. I also got had a miscarriage at 7 weeks after second round of ICSI. It’s now 3 months later and I’m still feeling low but im about to start a new round this week and hoping for the best.
Wishing you lots of luck too.

Wishing you lots of luck @Blossomofhope and I’m so sorry you have been through this too. Thank you for replying xxxx

I have no hope to offer yet sorry, but I want to say you're not alone (if that is any reassurance). This journey is awful and you're not alone. I have just been told I have had amissed miscarriage at 7 weeks - it was a complete shock. Its the first pregnancy after 5 ICSI rounds (plus a hystolaparoscopy surgery) and it has just ended in a missed miscarriage. No symptoms at all, so didn't expect it and we are devastated. Now waiting to book into surgery for removal. Hang in there; I dont know where this road will take us in the end but you are not alone.

Hi @CDiamond I am so sorry you are going through this too. Reading through all of the messages you can see how common this is. I’m taking comfort in the fact I did get pregnant and I hope you do too. Hopefully it means it will happen again for the both of us, but I totally get it doesn’t make it less painful right now. Look after your self xxx
