I recently experienced the disappointment of my first failed FET, and I’m feeling a mix of emotions right now. While I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful, it’s hard not to feel a bit discouraged. I would love to hear from others who have been through a similar situation and could offer some advice or words of wisdom for moving forward with a second attempt. What helped you cope with the disappointment? Any tips for preparing for the next round? I appreciate any support or insights you can share. Let’s navigate this journey together.
I apologize for your failed FET, it can be tough. My first failed as well, but we didn’t make any changes to my protocol and my second was successful. We did a repeat SIS before the 2nd FET and found polyps, which were removed before moving forward. Not sure if they had an impact, but I was relieved we did the extra check. If you’ve had a recent check, you may not need it, but my last one was 6 months prior and there were significant changes.
I just wanted to express my apologies and acknowledge how disappointing this situation is. My beta results today were negative, and I’m feeling a mix of confusion and sadness. I didn’t have any symptoms during the two-week wait, which I thought was positive, but it seems that wasn’t the case. While I was calm during the transfer, now I’m questioning my diet and lifestyle choices. I believe trying acupuncture could be beneficial, as my clinic also recommends it. It’s worth a shot!
I apologize for feeling devastated after my FET failed. Some things that helped me were: vitamin D, Omega 3 with vitamin E, Lactobacillus Crispatus vaginal probiotics, and pomegranate juice.
To improve my chances of implantation, I made some changes: I took 10 days off work after the FET, only walked, avoided heavy exercise and weight lifting, and refrained from using perfumes/essential oils.
In the first 4 days post-FET, I avoided cold food, wore warm socks, and stayed away from inflammatory foods like sugar, chocolate, and red meat.
After these steps, there’s not much more we can do but hope for the best without feeling guilty about any failures. Wishing you the best of luck!
