iui's & ivf failed. will FET work any better?

[briggsy's girl]

hi,
thanks BG. you are a great help! i have the fear that they have used the two best embies this first time. i can't remember the quality of the other 4. it just dosen't seem like i have so many chances left with only 4 frozen. how many do you have transfered each time? i had two and thought i would get one from that for sure...i am becoming more positive each day. i am going to throw all my thoughts into loosing weight instead of ttc.

i have had four embies frozen, and now used all of them as we were transferring two at a time. it's funny, my FS told me the first FET, based on what they could see of the embryo's, should have been the one we had success. the second, they put back the "runt" which was significantly smaller, and we got a BFP! it's all based on guess work, and statistics of what chances an embryo at that stage of development has of making it.

from what i can gather, if an embie survives the thaw, it is already showing that it is a strong embryo. so far we've been lucky to have a 100% thaw rate, so i feel the quality of our embies is good, we just need to get the hormonal stuff worked out so that they can stick properly!


be careful with tony ferguson (or any of those meal replacement diets) - i believe they're no good when pregnant, so unless you're taking time out from TTC, it might not be wise to be on it... i have contemplated TF in the past, but i'm pretty sure i read that they were no good, so i'd be stop-start dieting, and i figured lifestyle change was a better option

ETA - just cheked FAQ's on TF website, and it said it was no good during pg and breast feeding, so definitely take that into account - you're essentially going to have to stop it when you're going through another cycle...
