has anyone had two failed transfers?

[Anonymous]

Did your third work? Did you do anything differently?

First/Second, ate healthy, second added accupunture, changed protocol and still failed. Third I am not really doing anything.

I had one 6 week MC of a PGT-A normal embryo, followed by a total fail of the next transfer. For the third, my Dr added doxycycline, prednisone, and baby aspirin and it luckily took. I added accupuncture between the first and the second so I don't think that was the major factor but I think it did improve my lining.

When did you take the doxycycline, prednisone?

I have, though mine were untested. Technically I've had three? First (FET) didn't stick, second was a fresh that ended in early mc, and third (FET) didn't stick. For the last one, I was on lovenox, baby aspirin, etc "the kitchen sink" and still didn't stcik so pretty sure mine's an embryo problem. We have a daughter that was conceived through IUI 3 years ago so I know my body has (had?) the ability to stay pregnant if it's a good embryo.

Doxy was the 5 days before transfer, and prednisone started (I think) 2 days before transfer and continued through my first ultrasound, then I was weaned off of it. I believe it was a very low dose anyway.

I had 3 normal embryos. First FET was successful. Second was an ectopic, third didn’t stick. Same protocol for all three.

3 natural IUIs, 4 medicated IUIs, 2 IVFs, 7 FETs. One set of frat twins, one set of identical twins - lots of loss, transfers that didn’t stick. Can’t say with certainty that we are finished building our family.

Were they all PGS normal?

first didn't work. second didn't work. third did. what was different? primarily first and second weren't tested and third was PGT normal. but also did "natural cycle" third go and the others were medicated.

did acupuncture/eat healthy/exercise but not too much/all that other BS for all three transfers.

I had two PGS normal embryos high grade embryos frozen and underwent two single embryo transfers using both of these, both transfers failed.
Starting from scratch now with a new clinic but don't know what protocol they will use yet, or if they will change anything.
So far EVERY doc I have talked to has reiterated that it is within the realm of normal to have two back to back failed transfers of good, tested embryos and I'm just on the unlucky side of the numbers (personally I have my doubts about this!) but a third of three failed transfers would not be "normal".

Two failed FET transfers then had success with a third transfer from a fresh cycle (two retrievals total). Two embryos each time so took six embryos over two retrievals and three transfers to get one (healthy, happy, very loved) baby.
