What does this mean? You've had chemicals and then a success, then tried again with more chemicals and then a success?

If these chemicals are all from the same batch of eggs, then I wouldn't consider it the same as natural pregnancies or fresh IVFs with the same outcome.

I had several chemicals from one fresh and then FETs from the same cycle. While they were blasts, I found out later, it may have been better to move past that batch.

Op here: I'm having a very high ratio of chemical pregnancies per attempt

3 IUIs, 4 IVFs and 2 FETs to have my DC. Had 2 chemical pregnancies.

Wow, was the success finally with the surrogate?

10 years of trying. No BFP prior to seeing a doctor. 6 IUI, 10 IVF, 3 chemicals, 1 miscarriage, 2 surrogacies. Finally got pregnant on 10th IVF and have twins now.

I had 4 mc, a baby, 3 more mc and then my second baby.

I had around 3-4 chemicals (lost count) and two miscarriages all via IUI's. I had success with IVF.

Naturally, in each instance? Or did you receive treatment?

Not necessarily. I think chemical pregnancies are way more common than you might think. It's just that most women who have them aren't aware of them.

Now, if you get to 5-6 without an ongoing pregnancy, then you should definitely follow up on it. I would look into immune issues.

I'm not the OP but I have the same exact question. Why would 5 or 6 be the number at which you'd suspect a pattern, but not 3?

are you the same person who keeps talking about chemical pregnancies while trying for #3?

Thanks. But so many chemical pregnancies seems to suggest something wrong with implantation phase.

I didn't, but to give you encouragement, on all the fertility boards I've been on over the years, the people who can GET pregnant tends to be the ones who eventually are more likely to succeed.

Thx.
