Success stories after chemical pregnancies

Hi all,

I'm about to go for my second fet and am starting to feel really anxious and am spiralling! My last transfer ended in a chemical pregnancy.

I'm undergoing ivf due to a blocked ovary tube, I had 5 good quality blastocyst and am 34 years of age. Other than the blocked tube there isn't anything known (yet) that could cause infertility or inability to carry to term. I'm in a same sex relationship so have never tried to conceive the 'au natarale' way.

I guess I'm just looking for hope in the form of success stories after experiencing a chemical pregnancy. Im worried that I'll have another and will this mean something else is wrong?!

I have unfortunately had 5 chemical pregnancies from trying naturally 😞 our 3rd (and last embryo from round 1 IVF) transfer finally stuck and my hcg numbers have never been higher, they had more than doubled at my 2nd beta

I think there’s hope for you yet!
I pushed for a medication change and a full review on our case after the first 2 transfers failed and that did us wonders so if you’re worried make sure you voice this to your nurses and doctors!

Thanks for sharing @Sam. I definitely will be asking for further investigation if it happens again. Do you mind me asking what changes they made? I wasn't even aware that changes could be made with medications!

Of course!
So when you do frozen transfers you have a few options depending on your normal cycle.
I ovulate naturally just really late (like CD 18-21) so they had me to a trigger shot and low dose progesterone called crinone 90mg a day for my first 2 transfers.

We took a month of to rest/ recharge mentally.
The third transfer we decided no trigger shot and that we would let my body do it’s thing and upped my progesterone to Uetragestan 800mg per day. I miraculously ovulated on CD 15 this cycle which I haven’t done since TTC over 2 years ago.

But I honestly think the change in progesterone medication had a big factor.

That's completely different to what I had. I had estrogen from day one of my cycle, 8mg estradiol a day. I believe this was to thicken the lining but also stop me from ovulating, then after 2 weeks I started on crinone gel 90mg twice a day and also progesterone injection (lubion) which was 25mg progesterone. Once a day, and the transfer happened 5 days after that. So I didn't ovulate at all during my fet cycle.

It's a minefield! I will definitely make sure I ask all the questions I need to if it happens again.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and wishing you all the best with it!!

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.
