    Well it's now six months on and my poor sister is still awaiting her BFP. She went for egg collection and ended up with OHSS and was really unwell for a number of weeks, then had to wait a number of cycles before they would do a transfer. Her FS was happy that they had 7 day five blastocysts to freeze. She has now had two failed frozen transfers and is really getting down. Her FS had told her to seem him again if she had two failed cycles so she is seeing him next month. Between the first and second cycle the had a short holiday in Thailand which helped distract her. She was unrstandably devastated when the second cycle failed, it's so hardto know what to say. I took her a bunch of flowers and we had a chat

    She is also planning on seeing the GP and getting tested for MTHFR and I suggested she get a coagulopathy screening done if hadnt had done done while she was being tested, she was also wondering what other tests she could have done? She was going to ring the clinic and check as she doesn't want to wait to see the specialist then have to wait another cycle for test results, although I don't know if she can avoid it. At present even with the low AMH and Endo her specialist has classed her and her partner as having unexplained infertility.

    Thanks for your help ladies

    Update - My sister ending up testing positive for MTHFR, she then transferred to another fertility specialist as she wasn't happy with the protocol her old specialist was following. Her second cycle at the new place she commenced antibiotics, steroids and low dose aspirin at her request and with the support of her new Dr and had 2 FET and is now 8 weeks pregnant with one bubba. I am so over the moon for her, can't explain how happy I am so I can only imagine how she and her DH feel!

    How wonderful for her! You must be thrilled for her too.
    If she didn't join BB before she can join the belly thread, great support in there too.
