Hi all,

Feel like im just looking for some similar stories and some hope. I was lucky enough to have got 10 frozen embryos however, over the past year I feel the joy of having those embryos has faded away. My first FET failed, 2 embryos failed to survive the thaw for 2nd FET, the 2nd FET also failed. I was transferred two embryos for my 3rd FET which also failed and a further embryo did not survive the thaw in preparation for the 3rd. So in total I’ve lost 3 embryos during the thawing process and 4 to failed transfers. I have 3 left and my faith and hope that any will even make it to the transfer alone is slim. I feel so so defeated. My clinic are not interested in trying anything new, it’s via the NHS and they believe it’s unlucky and a numbers game. Does anyone have any similar stories? I’m TTC 4.5 years and have never been pregnant once.

I feel like I just want to use these embryos and if I don’t pregnant I will look into going abroad for one round after that.

I’ve had 3 failed transfers as of last week - 2 with PGT tested embryos. So not much advice but a lot of sympathy! Maybe think about PGT A - I had 2 other embryos but they were abnormal so if I’d not tested I’d be thinking I had 2 more but they would never have worked.

It’s so heartbreaking. What are your next steps now or have you thought that far ahead?
