3x failed FETs - why??
I’m surprised at how non-responsive I’ve been to our recent failed FET result, it’s like I can’t imagine any other phone call except the ‘I am sorry but…’. I am 29yo female (AFAB) and my partner is 27yo man (FtM) he thankfully did an egg retrieval before starting testosterone, however it is not legal for me to carry his embryos yet (based in Western Australia).
I have no (known) fertility issues, our specialists just keep an eye on my TSH due to Hashimoto’s. We did 2x rounds of IUI last year and 3x rounds of ICSI so far this year (using my eggs; first natural cycle, second and third were medicated). This round was our final embryo and we don’t have the money for another egg retrieval currently.
I am deflated and confused. I understand often it is just luck but I have utilised every evidence-based and random strategy after scaling sub-reddits. Why is this happening? Has anyone else experienced similar and what did you do? I am in awe of people who just keep on trying.
