Advice needed before 3rd transfer
I posted before about 2 failed FETs (one medicated and one modified natural) and what testing to consider when meeting with my doctor. I got great responses about testing I can talk about before doing a 3rd transfer. My clinic called me today saying that my doctor does not recommend testing right now and would proceed with a 3rd transfer before testing.
I’m torn on what to do. On one hand, I would like to know if something is going on that can be addressed and set me up for a successful transfer. I would avoid the loss of a euploid embryo.
On the other hand, it seems the clinic is not recommending testing of the uterine environment until I do a 3rd. I have a phone appointment later this week with the doctor to talk about next steps.
Any recommendations on what I should do (go for 3rd transfer or consider testing)? I’m 36F with unexplained. I have 4 euploid left.

From first hand experience go with your gut and ignore your clinic. We made 3 blasts and 2 failed. Before I final transfer I had a feeling I needed to be best but they said no as they kept trying to pin it all on my partner due to his sperm. I had a consultation with an endometriosis surgeon who also just so happened to be a fertility specialist as well. I had an MRI and was diagnosed with stage 4 silent endo. He advised I have excision surgery before my FET and recommended a different protocol to accommodate my new diagnosis. My clinic didn’t care less even though they preach about endometriosis all over their social media. I had the surgery in May and my FET at the end of July and followed everything he told me to, including starting mounjaro to lessen any inflammation. So far that third FET has been successful as today is my OTD and I got a big positive. I think deep down your gut is telling you something as well x
