I'm sorry OP. I, too had failed FET on one and only one PGS normal. Trying for sibling as well. I have one more shot at doing fresh IVF for freeze all cycle and will not do PGS test. My one and only chance now. GL

OP here: I’m thinking I may have to bite the bullet and do it. I have personal reasons for not wanting that test (and will insist upon anesthesia). Do you mind my asking if the test helped you?

The transfer that worked was after an ERA that showed one extra day of progesterone was needed, so it helped in our case. My RE said they are suggesting it more often after a failed transfer or if it is hard to get enough embryos.

Even a PGS tested FET only has a 65-70% success rate. I think you just have to keep trying. It’s a very personal decision about how many times you’re willing to try.

I’m so, so sorry. I’ve had three failed cycles and have been contemplating this a lot myself. I know the heartache all too well.

Might be time to go to a new practice.

After IVF #1, and three frozen transfers, I finally got pregnant with my DC (and this was after years of trying, clomid, iui’s, etc.) I tried to give my child a sibling, with no luck, using the remaining blasts from IVF #1 (unknown genetic quality). So I did IVF #2, and while many made it to blast, only one was PGS normal. After multiple cancelled frozen transfers (variety of random mishaps), this cycle failed. I’m obviously devastated. I don’t know what else to look into. I had a relatively recent hysteroscopy—normal. My HSG from IVF 1 was totally normal. My RE doesn’t suspect a displaced window of implantation b/c I had DS on a normal FET schedule, though we’ll discuss that one more time (that would involve endometrial receptivity array, but again, that’s a longshot as an explanation, he thinks). My thryoid levels are normal. I don’t seem to have any overactive immune issues. My lining is always at least 8.5mm.

As for prep, I’ve done it all. Regular acupucture, meditation, CoQ10, prenatals, vitamin D, etc. etc. etc.

Maybe it’s time to give up. I have one wonderful child. I just don’t know what else to try. Any suggestions? TIA.
