| I just had my second failed transfer. We did a fully medicated for the first and a fully natural (no medications) for the second. I am sad, but wondering why this is happening. I know PGT tested embryos have a 60-70 percent chance, but I am feeling defeated right now. I changed my diet and added acupuncture. I am accepting that it is out of my control and there was nothing I can do. Has anyone been in my shoes? What did you do differently between protocols? Did you advocate a new protocol or do what your doctor said? Did you switch clinics? I have embryos at my current clinic. |
| What do you mean by failed transfer? If they failed to implant I would definitely do an ERA test and surprised your RE hasn’t suggested that. If miscarriages then immune issues, or uterine anomalies/ infections, etc need to be looked at. |
| How many embryos do you have left? How many rounds of retrievals did it take to get your embryos? Age? Primary or secondary infertility? |
| OP here. Make issue. I have more embryos. I’m over 35. Different protocols for each transfer. The embryo didn’t implant both times. |
you need to do the ERA test. They may not be transferring the embryos in your window of receptivity. |
Yes and have them test for chronic Endometritis with the same biopsy |
| you can try receptiva. |

OP here. Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will take note of them. I asked for an ERA, but my RE felt there wasn't any added value and that there are not many studies to support the effectiveness of it. We made a consult with another clinic to see if we are missing anything.
Do you recommend taking time off between cycles? Do you think it is worth trying a modified natural cycle? |
No - I think time off off would be for you emotionally it would not help with the physical aspect of infertility. Honestly I would push back on ERA. It certainly works for some people and you are a prime candidate. If your RE just suggests trying the same thing over and over again with no changes I would switch REs or switch clinics. |
| OP here. Thank you PP for the advice. That makes sense. I will advocate for an ERA since the embryos didn't implant both times. |
