Did you do an ERA / mock transfer prior to your FET?

Question

Hey y’all. I started IVF in September. We got 2 normal embryos. 1 with no information. So we have 3 frozen. Today I had a hysteroscopy to remove a polyp. Waiting on my transfer protocol. However, highly considering a mock transfer / ERA because we want 3 kids, have 3 embryos and aren’t sure of a second round. Question: did the ERA help you be successful with your FET?

Answer

I didn’t, but I don’t think it’s waste. Also, even in the best of conditions, there is only a 60-70% chance a PGT tested embryo will stick, so I’d be optimistic, but realistic about all 3 embryos sticking. If I’ve learned anything from this journey, it’s to roll with the punches, expect the unexpected, and be as flexible as possible. If you’re really dead-set about having 3 kids, I might do another egg retrieval before a transfer, depending on how old you are, etc. Best of luck to you!

Answer

Our stories are literally the same, 2 normal embryos and 1 with no information. I decided to go forward with the ERA bc we wanted two children and retrieval for me was approx 15k and Ofcourse time consuming when you’ve been trying so long. The era was only 1k and showed I needed an additional 24 hrs of progesterone. Saved me the heartache of a failed transfer and going through another retrieval at this time. So glad I did it, our first transfer was a success and now we have a 4 month old🥰
