We started trying again after 18 months. That was recommended by SGF and Dr. Kelly/Dr. Drassinhower.

Sorry! After checking with my SO, it was 9 months after our first csection. It took us 6 FETs to get have success with our second set of twins. I believe my first set of twins were 20 months when the 6th time worked. All 6 FETs were elective single frozen embryo transfers. We were trying not to have twins!!! Was a big surprise.

C-section IVF twins (2 embryos). When twins were age 2- single embryo FET, resulted in identical twins and another c-section.

I used DE IVF for all three of my kids and had a c-section with all three. That means my second was post one c-section and my third was post two c-sections. I got pregnant with DE IVF all three times on the first try.

I had a c-section with my first (FET). When I went to try for baby #2, there was some abnormal/scar tissue that showed up during my saline sono. I had a hysteroscopy to remove the tissue and had a successful FET a month later. Good luck OP!

Hi it’s OP. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Glad to hear it wasn’t too much of an extra barrier for many of you in trying for baby #2/onwards

My first successful live birth was hard fought (had chemical, blighted ovum etc and ended up doing a kitchen sink protocol that miraculously worked so I am traumatized and very sensitive about additional potential disadvantages)

This is a common scenario - you will find that many IVF moms had c-sections and went on to have successful subsequent FETs. Do not worry about this.

The scar tissue from c-section usually don't cause problem. Even if it does, it could be repaired by a minimally invasive surgery.

I’m part of an infertility support group and know quite a few women who had successful FETs after c sections. Seems fairly common to me. I know a few had REs request repeat HSGs or saline sonos just to ensure there were no structural issues, but that isn’t a big deal.

Yes. My doctor did not express any concerns. they did suggest that I go through their 3 day testing again before the FET but I didn't get the sense that the C Section was an issue in particular. (And my dear 2nd baby is now 5 months old!)

I had a c-section with my first, another with my second a little under two years later, and am currently pregnant with my third. Each pregnancy began as a FET. Neither my RE nor my OBGYN mentioned any concerns about having a FET after a c-section. Good luck!

First baby was born recently from IVF/FET via unplanned C-section.

Given how much hurdles we had to jump through for our first, I fear that my C-section causes yet another strike against me if I try for baby #2.

Has anyone had a successful IVF/FET live birth following C section?
