First FET failed.

The amount of stress on your body involved in walking 10 miles is insanely extensive. I’ve done plenty of half marathons and especially if I didn’t train properly have to take a day or two off work to recover, and that’s 7 miles less than OP walked! Walking 20 miles after a FET is absolutely enough stress to affect implantation, in fact I’d be shocked if it actually did implant. Just…wtf OP.

I don't even understand what a skinned knee the week before a transfer could possibly have to do with anything, which is a sign you're spiraling and looking for a way to assign blame (to yourself!). The next time you have a transfer plan a day or two of rest and relaxation - if you feel like you've done everything you can do and it still doesn't work out at least you can skip this "beating yourself up" phase.

+1 OP, you’re spiraling because you want to know why the embryo didn’t implant. You will probably never know. We want so desperately to be able to control things and you don’t have control over the outcome. It’s very hard, psychologically, to go to these lengths to have a baby, to be using the most advanced ART, to have the medical professionals indicate good odds for success, and then still not end up pregnant. You want to know what went “wrong” so you can fix the problem, but no one knows why this cycle didn’t result in pregnancy, and there may not be anything for your RE to suggest. I don’t think you did anything that affected the outcome (because I don’t believe that a family walked 20 miles while sightseeing). It’s hard to accept, but even normal embryos don’t always implant.
