4th FET -anyone used embryo glue?

Hi all, I’m on CD1 of my 4th frozen cycle and I’m instantly upset after the last years heartache and anxious about this one not working out either. It’s our last embryo too so I’m stressed just thinking about what will happen after :(
Anyway, has anyone used embryo glue before? What was the outcome?
My clinic haven’t ever mentioned it but they’ve also not changed my protocol since the last FET so looks like I’m going to have to ask for changes…

Hi lovely, sorry you’ve had a heartbreaking time of it.
We have used embryo glue all 3 times and the third one worked. I don’t think it had anything to do with the glue though as we changed so much else 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve used it for all 3 transfers. 1st was a chemical, 2nd ended in a missed miscarriage and 3rd has resulted in my 6 week old.
So technically I’ve had implantation every time I’ve used it. It’s just some of the embryos themselves weren’t able to make it.

Hi Charlie! Can you share what you changed in your protocol that your FET worked?

Hi Claire, I used embryo glue on my second FET which was successful but not on my first which was successful. Obviously it’s hard to say if that led to the success but we were open to trying other things in the hope that subsequent transfers were successful. We also did accupuncture in the successful transfer.
Wishing you lots of strength and best wishes for your current cycle x

Thanks everyone x

Haven’t used embryo glue, but wanted to say that I started meds for our 4th round today, and it’s also our last embryo 🤞🏻

So sorry youve not had success yet, fingers crossed for your next one! 🤞🏼🫶🏼 I used it for both FETs as they included it as standard with nhs rounds, also assisted hatching! 1st didn’t take atall but 2nd worked ❤️

hi Sarah, sorry for delayed reply! Um we changed a LOT. We basically did everything differently. We had had two failed PGT tested FETs and so we spent a year after that doing all sorts of tests, including immune.
I decided I wanted to do a more natural transfer as well so we did a mild stim FET rather than a fully medicated hrt one. Then I was on loads of immune drugs including steroids, blood thinners, metformin and a few others- but were all tailored to me based on blood results etc. I also had a hysteroscopy where they had widened my uterus somewhat.
So yeah we basically did it all completely different this time!

Thank you for your detailed response ❤️

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?
