[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I was able to get pregnant twice with clomid but when I had to do IVF, none of the embryo's took during three FETs.  We weren't sure why b/c I had no trouble getting pregnant before.  I was at SG at the time and they recommended an ERA but for various reasons I switched to GW where they did an EFT (endometrial function test).  They found that everything was fine and did the transfer.  It came back positive but ended in a CP.  We just did another transfer and I'm six weeks pregnant so I highly recommend doing the test.  I also think the protocol at GW was much better for me and my body.

Considering all the failed attempts you've gone through, I'd want to see if there's something else going on b/c what if the transfer needs to happen on a different day.  If it comes back negative then that's a data point and you just lost a few months time but if it's positive and you need to adjust the timing then it may make all the difference in getting a positive pregnancy.  Do you want to keep throwing money at FETs to just have it keep failing?  [/quote]

Thanks for your response. A couple of questions: eft doesn't seem to measure receptivity. Why did you choose that? It tests lots of things, but which mastered for your? Finally, did the test change your approach? My doctor said it's very unlikely someone who'd gotten pregnant via fet has a displaced window. I followed up to ask how unlikely--give me data. My body has been through enough. I am all for data and agree with you, but if it's basically a certainty that my window is normal, I don't want to go through it.

Really appreciate your time. [/quote]

I switched to GW b/c after three failed FETs, SG just seemed to be guessing on what to do next.  Plus the PIO injections were extremely painful for me and GW's protocol doesn't involve IM injections.  GW thought the reason why the FET's failed was more of a lining issue, not with my progesterone levels.  When looking at my hormone levels at SG, they were off the charts and GW's protocol is to mimic more of what your body is supposed to naturally produce.  I don't have the stats in front of me but at SG my estrogen levels were as high as 3000 and GW wants them somewhere in the 300 range.  I forget what my progesterone levels were but basically I was being pumped full of drugs and perhaps it was too much for my body and the pregnancy wouldn't take.  [/quote]
