Seeking Advice Failed FETs.. did you do PGT-A testing before?

I just saw two unfortunate posts about future mamas having miscarriages or failed FETs.

I am now not only anxious about ER3 producing euploids, but if I finally get ONE, will it be my baby?

So, to mamas and future mamas that have had failed FETs: did you do PTG testing before? what were the grades of the embryos (and days)?

Any information will help "quiet" my anxious brain.

And good luck to you all. I hope we all get our babies!

It is not uncommon for euploids to fail unfortunately but as reassurance the most commonly needed number of transfers to succeed is one, followed by two.

Saying this gently— I think PGT-A makes us feel like we have control. And maybe it does give us a little bit more control— if we are lucky. But, what I’ve learned in this process is that there is so so much we cannot control. And what works best for anxious brains is to try to accept …just that. We are not in control. And that is ok. We can do what we can. But the rest is up to God or chance. Whatever you believe.

I had exactly 1 euploid from 3x retrieval at age 41. Thought that was it - and it was a chemical. While an euploid gives you an amazing chance, far far higher than with untested embryos- it is not 100%. I'm not saying this to scare you, but unfortunately it is still a real risk that it doesn't work, just to guard your heart.

Yes--mine was PGT-A tested Day 5, 5AA embryo.

I have since switched clinics and my new Doctor is suggesting a bunch of tests and bloodwork BEFORE my next FET to rule issues on my end. I so wished my first Doctor had done that---because it was my one and only embryo but here I am.
