How many transfers have you had?

Hi, 

I just want to find people who I can relate to. I just completed my 5th frozen embryo transfer with no success. I have had 2 implantations that ended in miscarriage even before the second beta and the other 3 times no implantation whatsoever. Have you had multiple transfers? How many? Have you hd success?

    I have had 4 transfers. 

    ***tw***

    The first was a chemical pregnancy, day 3 fresh transfer. Second resulted in my son (day 5 pgs normal embryo). Third didn’t take (pgs normal embryo). Fourth gave me a positive hpt but beta came back negative (pgs normal embryo). 
    Me:32 DH:36
    Me: DOR, poor egg quality, MTHFR
    DH: MFI
    TTC since 3/2014
    2015: 3 IUI's-BFN

    3/2016: 2nd IVF cycle- canceled (3 follicles retrieved, 3 mature, all fertilized w/ICSI, 1 fragmented, 2 arrested) 
    3/2016: RE suggested donor eggs- taking an ivf break and to supplement 
    9/2016: 3rd ivf cycle-cancelled due to early ovulation
    Oct./Nov 2016: 4th ivf cycle- EPP-AFC:5, retrieved 10, 10 mature, 8 fertilized with ICSI, 6 blastocysts biopsied and frozen. 3 CCS normal embryos

    Thank you! I never even thought this journey would he this crazy. We initially went in because we have a genetical mutation in the family that can pass to our kids. So it was mainly to just ensure we get our embryos pgs tested. Little did we know this was going to be a long long journey.

    I know what you mean. It is so hard and such a struggle. Do you have any frozen embryos left?

    I've had 3 transfers.  1 was untested fresh transfer BFN. Next 2 were pgs FET, one was a chemical and the other MM at 9 weeks.  Getting ready for #4.  But I've heard of other women who weren't successful until 4, 5, 6, or 7 transfers!! We are just on the wrong side of that coin flip and will get lucky soon! I'm putting 2 in next time.

    A little late to this, but I have had seven transfers.  All were non PGS with my eggs and my husband's surgically retrieved sperm.  It can be a very long, and absolutely grueling process at times, but it will be worth it when you do finally get lucky. ❤️<div>
