[quote=Anonymous]Talk to me about implantation issues.  We're finishing up our 3rd fresh IVF cycle after 4 natural IUIs and 3 clomid IUIs.  All BFN.  I'm fairly young - 29 (started trying when I was 25) - and both Shady Grove and CFA have been able to find nothing wrong with me.  All numbers look good, regular cycles, regular ovulation, one blocked tube/hydrosalpinx removed years ago so that's no longer a problem.  I'm healthy overall, this time had 9 good-looking embryos make it to blast and then to freeze, in addition to the 1 we transferred.  The CFA doc recommended not to do PGS testing because of expense and my age and no known genetic issues at this time.  I know I shouldn't test before my beta but I have and everything's coming up negative, so I'm pretty close to writing this cycle off as a wash.

But what comes next?  We'll be moving on to FETs since we now have embryos frozen, but I worry that my issue is not with egg quality, etc, but with implantation.  I've tried to do some research into what causes this/how you can treat it, but it's confusing, with some sources saying 90% of issues are egg quality, not sperm (we're using a donor with proven pregnancies)  or implantation, and others saying endometrial scratches or supplements can help here.

I just worry that in three different fresh IVF cycles (never mind the 7 IUIs) we've gotten all the way to implantation with beautiful blasts and overall health and that's where it seems to have failed.  I'm not a doctor, obviously, and I always defer to my doc's recs, but this is just what I'm observing.  At this time, of course, I have no way of knowing if there are egg quality issues because we aren't PGS testing right now, but if it was implantation - can they do anything about that?  What should I press for moving forward?  I will of course have a WTF consult with my doc but I want to come armed with information.  Any links or resources or personal experience you can offer would be much appreciated![/quote]
