Fresh vs frozen?

Question

Benefits or cons of both? I’m 40.5 just about to start I don’t want to waste any time but also want to implant health embryos

Answer

I got my bfp after a fresh transfer. I only have two embryos so didn’t make sense to test them (especially since they can misdiagnose an embryo as bad when it’s good). My doc said that fresh or frozen works better depending on the patient (Research shows poor responders do better with fresh and high responders do better with frozen). I’d trust your doc.

Answer

I decided to do a FET. I was 39 when i started IVF and just turned 40 a month ago. I opted for a 5 day transfer with PGS testing. I figured since I was getting a late start I was just gonna throw everything I had at it. It also enabled me to relax for a few weeks after retrieval. Im currently 14 weeks pregnant.

Answer

My doctor only does frozen. For one, higher success rates and two - gives your body some time to heal after retrieval. I had my retrieval yesterday and honestly couldn’t imagine having a transfer within the week. I am sooo bloated and crampy. I like that I have a couple weeks of no meds. I’ll have a period which will help and then start over feeling ready for next phase. 
Yes, it’s a lot of waiting but I think it’s worth it. Plus if you want to do PGS testing, frozen is the only option. We are doing ICSI and PGS. I feel that if we are spending this much and relying on science to make us a baby, we may as well go all in and ensure our embryo has no abnormalities. 
My cousin did fresh and ended up miscarrying, she said she wishes she wasn’t so impatient since she felt her body wasn’t ready for transfer at that time. Her frozen transfer stuck and she now has a beautiful 1 year old son. 
Good luck with whatever you chose!

Answer

If I could go back - after a failed fresh and frozen.. I would have done the ERA (which is my next step) before either..
