[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, OP, for the great news.
And it does give me hope.  I am 43 and just recently completed my 4th IVF cycle, where after changes to my diet and supplements, we ended up with 2 normal PGS embryos.  In February we attempted a PGS tested FET from the first batch that successfully gave us our son, but which unfortunately failed.  Hence, the 3 IVF cycles this year.

My RE wants me to run all the tests (blood clotting, thyroid, ERA biopsy this cycle, etc...).  I literally had my consultation with her THIS morning and left feeling somewhat optimistic and then a bit concerned after reading your posts from October.  BUT, after reading your update I am so happy for you and your family and hope that we have success as well.

Best of luck and keep us posted!

OP again here. PP - congrats on your 2 normal embryos! That is 80% of the battle! I think it's a very good idea to do those tests. I had already set up a consult for blood clotting, thyroid and repeat loss panel with an endocrinologist before I got the call about the betas turning around. (Had previously done an ERA biopsy). I would add that you could also request a hysteroscopy, which does require sedation, but allows the doctor to go in with a scope and look for any polyps, scarring, etc. preventing implantation. My doc wanted to do this after our two failed FETs, and he did remove some small polyps. Who knows if that's what worked, but apparently polyps can create low-level inflammation and the embryos "don't like" to implant.

To the 12:28 poster with 3 failed FETs and recent chemical: would also encourage you to ask for a hysteroscopy, and an ERA biopsy if you haven't done it. I did have chemicals, but because I had the ERA, I felt a little more comfortable knowing it was some other issue that caused failure, not the right/wrong amount of progesterone.  [/quote]
