Thank you Mally for the kind words ! I will try to keep the faith - it's so hard at times but I guess I'm the only one who can fight for my little embie.
Good luck to you and Baby Dust to everyone.

Sorry to hear that.

Good to know you have one more.

Don't blame yourself. Most cycles fail. It's not your fault. Doctors try to be optimistic about your chances, and tell patients how wonderful the embryos look. Well, there's more than just the embryos at work here. And even perfect embryos can fail to implant or can miscarry shortly after implantation.

This is unfortunately common.

I know your right.. I have to do a reality check on myself sometimes. I 'm so happy for the ladies that it works for !!!

Should I be doing accupuncture or following a certain diet??? I try to stay healthy...
Should I switch clinics??
I'll do anything to improve my chances. I feel my time is running out I'll be 38 in Dec so I only have a yr or two and then it's over..
I'm not overweight or drink or smoke and I've been pregnant before which i conceived naturally...
oh boy i'm venting aren't I ...

Sorry Ghost.... but in the same regards thank you for just being here

are you a parent? sorry if too personal.

I doubt acupuncture does much, especially for an FET cycle. I doubt diet is a big factor. I assume you were following a reasonably sane diet and not undermining the cycle with weird supplements without telling your doctor. And you were not bungee jumping or sky diving, right?

Another clinic might be an improvement, maybe. Usually not, but maybe worth taking a look around.

Your venting is very mild given what you've been through. I'm happy to help, it's why I post here.

My wife and I have two children.

I have been very careful with everything i've eaten and done during all of this.
Seeing that i only have one frozen left - can I start a fresh cycle again and maybe transfer one fresh and one frozen.???

I would not do it that way.

One of the great things about frozen embryo cycles is they can prep the endometrium ideally without all that FSH and estradiol from a stimulation. Mixing fresh and frozen therefore makes no sense.

ohhhhh... interesting....
I dont know if you remember but I wrote to you on this board about my baseline US my endometrium lining was already at 14 and by the time the transfer came it was 16.. it's alittle on the high side.. that may have contributed. and during the transfer the RE said i have a cyst on the opening of my cervix which made for a very painful transfer.. she actually stopped for a couple of minutes and tried again. she said she even made my bleed which she was very sorry for....I'm wondering if that had a factor too....
I have my phone followup appt with my RE tomorrow AM - what should I suggest or ask her?

Hmmm... I remember now. My clinic would not have proceeded with a 14mm endometrium.

I don't know about the effect of a cervical cyst.

What stage is your last frozen embryo? Day 3? Day 5?

ghost it's me (bey1214) or (hollyb).. I have both user names active so i can use this board at home and at work.. I know I'm insane

I remember you saying that 14mm was too thick at baseline too... They transferred two frozen at day 3 - a grade A 8 cell and a grade B 7 cell. They had me using Estrace and PIO shots....

Bey I am very sorry to hear that it did not work, but I like the fact that you are positive, Good Luck!!!!!!!! You may be closer to having a BFP done you think.
