Pregnant after IF
IVF #1 BFN FET #1 BFN - looking for some stories/inspiration/thoughts!
Hello all! I just found out my beta today from my 8/31 FET was a BFN 
This follows a BFN from our first fresh IVF cycle in July....we are upset, disappointed...just feeling a range of emotions.....I am 32 with no issues, we are dealing with severe MFI so did IVF with ICSI - both of these cycles went smooth with successful transfers but the embryos are just not sticking Very frustrating because we finally scraped together the funds to do IVF and have had no luck so far...The fresh cycle in July produced 15 eggs, 12 were mature, 9 fertilized.....we transferred (2) grade cell 8 embryos on day 3 - with the FET on 8/31 we had 3 eggs leftover from the fresh cycle, all 3 survived the thaw (all the cells of all 3 also survived the thaw) and were transferred and were (2) grade cell 6s and 1 grade cell 5 - I just spoke to my doctor and had a lot of questions of course, all of which he answered and I am in no way questioning our docs office, they are excellent and have great success rates with IVF - he advised after reviewing all of our records wtith both cycles everything was on point - my bloodwork, ultrasounds, egg quality, uterus, everything - one thing he pointed out which I never realized is when dealing with severe MFI even if the eggs fertilize (which we did have 9 fertilize with ICSI) sometimes it can also effect the implanting of the eggs which I know we cannot control....our next plan of action is to start another fresh IVF cycle as soon as my period arrives (we have the shared risk package that cvoers 3 fresh IVFs and 3 FETs)...my question to you ladies is have any of you been in a similar situation as us? When did you finally get your BFP? We have been positive through this close to 2 year journey so far but today just feeling very bummed out...is there anything physical you did as far as foods/drinks you thought helped or that stayed away from? Any little tips of tricks any of you can give me will be much appreciated, thanks!
