4th ET is BFN- now i need some help!

[Baby Dreamtime]

Hi Bianeczka, so sorry to hear of your troubles, unfortunately we know where you are coming from. As you can see from my sig I didn't get a positive until my 7th ET. I had blood tests which identified a blood clotting disorder and I believe one treated made all the difference. I would be pushing your FS for these if you not already done so. I also changed FS. Sometimes just a different set of eyes or hands can make the difference. FS technique for ET can be the difference. I also did the sharkeys herbs but made no difference to me unfortunately, they work I think when you just need a little help with hormone adjustment. I think your diet would already be what you need for good embies. I think I have also hear dhea for embie quality, and also that sperm quality kicks in after day 3 which can effect embies ability to progress so your DH should still be watching diet etc. that's all I can think of. If your are interested I posted in the success sticky thread about all my cycles and everything I did that might give you ideas. Wishing you all the best xx

You are doing everything you can and thats the frustarating and upsetting thing Im sorry that your TTC journey hasnt been a quick and easy journey. Unfortunately as much as IVF is an science so much is still unknown and its still left up to what your little blastocysts want to do. My story is different from most and I wont bore you with details but long story short is that you arent alone and we did finally get a BFP. TTC with unexplained infertility and everything looking so darn normal is so frustrating! Sending you strength and lots of BFP vibes

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I know from experience how heartbreaking it is.

I have endo too and it seems likely that was the cause of our problems. Have you considered another lap to remove any endo that has grown back or do you not have any other signs of that being necessary? The reason I ask is that we did 4 ET before my lap - all BFN - and then did our 5th transfer 2 months after my lap and that gave us DD.

Diet-wise, I agree that dairy is good to avoid when you have endo. Have you seen the endo diet? It's on the endo-resolved website. It's basically no dairy, no gluten, no red meat, no soy, no artificial anything and no refined sugar (and possibly others I've forgotten). It's very restrictive, but I know some ladies swear by it. I'm too lazy to do it properly, but I did cut out dairy and sugar before we started IVF#5 (5th fresh cycle) which gave us DD. I had also cut out dairy and sugar back in 2009 just before we had our chem pg (first ever BFP, naturally-conceived in between IVFs).

GL and I hope your 5th transfer is a success.

ps. Don't beat yourself up over positive thinking, or a lack thereof. I was certain our 5th transfer would fail since our embryo quality was below average. We had also had several other events happen during that IVF that had me on the verge of a nervous breakdown - there was no positive thinking going on at all that month and the IVF still worked.
