Wishing you all the luck with your next transfer ❤️

I know how hard it is to have so much loss. I already had one beautiful girl when we started this process. Four embryos from my first cycle, three BNFs and the fourth didn’t survive the thaw. How I had the strength to go again I don’t know. But I was so determined. Another ER and six embryos. The first FET resulted in a miscarriage at 6 weeks. It was devastating. I really thought there was something wrong with me. But miraculously my second FET from that bunch was a success, a full term baby boy. He’s nearly 2 now and I’m thinking of going again with my remaining embryos. However if none of them work I won’t be doing another ER. I feel very blessed to have two healthy children. I do long for a third child though. I really feel I’d be so complete with a third baby.

If it helps I’ll give you some tips for what I did to finally have success. I started fertility acupuncture (I was sceptical at first, but hey it worked!) and I cut way back on my sugar and processed food intake. I ate a lot of anti-inflammatory foods like walnuts, blueberries and leafy greens. I also went on lovenox and baby aspirin, even though all my tests came back negative fog clotting disorders. And finally I went on low dose steroids, because I tested positive for thyroid antibodies, even though my TSH was in the normal range. Something worked anyway X
