Anyone out there having or going to have Frozen Embryo Transfer??
Hi everyone,
I am relatively new here, my Hubby and I have just completed our first go at IVF treatment, which sadly failed :o( We are absolutely heartbroken. We have been TTC our first baby for the last two and a half years. We have suffered 2 early miscarriages and 2 horrific ectopic pregnancies (which resulted in the loss of both tubes and need for IVF). We really thought that IVF would work for us, treatment went better than we ever hoped, all the way through (they had originally estimated a low-normal response to the drugs with maybe 6 eggs at best) we ended up with 13 eggs, then 11 fertilised for us and we then ended up with 9 grade 1, 8 cell embryo's which was fantastic. But even after all this our embie didn't stay with us :o( I am so gutted and upset.
On a positive note, our clinic are very very keen that we go straight ahead with a Frozen Embryo Transfer, which we will be doing after my next period, so around the end of July / beginning August. They seemed quite positive about this and they will be having a review meeting to discuss our failed cycle and see what can be done differently next time - so fingers crossed. I am hoping that with FET, my body will cope better as I will not be having all the stimlulation drugs, poking around and of course the trauma of egg collection to deal with - as the FET will be done within a natural cycle and leutal phase / implantation support given. Just have to keep our fingers crossed that FET will work for us, I am determined to get my precious baby and with 8 beautiful frozen embryo's waiting for us, I am not about to give up!!!!
I was just wondering if there was anyone out there I could chat to about Frozen Embryo Transfer??? Would love to get to know a few of you and find out a bit more about things and your stories, success, advice and everything...
I look forward to getting to know you all, take care

I am so sorry about the news. Don't worry about being down. You need it to be able to get back up which you will do.
I can only imagine what you have been through. Cry all you need.

Well it's bad news girls :o(
I caved in and tested this morning, 15dpo and the day before official test day tomorrow (well today really, it's 2am and I can't sleep cos' I am crying so much)
I used a First Response and a Clearblue digital, both BFN :o( Then I started spotting brown this afternoon and tonight it is turnng bright red and AF awful cramps setting in, so AF will be in full swing by tomorrow I am sure. Got appointment at the clinic at 9.30am for outcome, which obviously will be BFN :o(
I just can't believe it, I am so mad at myself for even getting my hopes up atall, how could I possibly think we would get what we want after so many years and so many setbacks and all the heartache - did I really think something would work out for us!!!??? Why won't my embies stay with me?? What is wrong with me :o( I have lost 7 babies now when you think about it, 2 miscarriages, 2 ectopics and now 3 precious embryo's that were so fit and strong but just didn't want to stay with me :o( I don't understand, I did everything right, everything they told me to, what have I done to deserve this. I feel like such a useless failure as a woman and it hurts so much.....
I am so sorry to be such a downer and wallowing in self-pity, I am just so upset at the moment and so angry. I just don't know how much more I can put myself through. I know that in a few days I will be able to be strong again, and I will come around and stay determined, but at the moment I am just so upset and crying so much I can't see straight.
Sorry I don't bring better news girls, I am still thinking of you all and sending super duper *******baby dust********* to all of you
