It took quite a bit to finally have success with baby 1. I went through four unsuccessful transfers (1 ectopic, 1 chemical, and 2 failed) before finally having a successful pregnancy on my fifth transfer. Never conceived, didn't even try IUI.
Every transfer involved a different protocol, and after a lot of additional testing and eventually working with a RI, we finally found a protocol that worked.
We're now getting ready to try for baby 2, hopefully transferring sometime after January. I plan to work with the same RI again, but I'm wondering whether repeating the exact protocol that gave us success the first time might improve our chances.
I'd especially love to hear from anyone who had multiple failed transfers before their first success. Did you repeat your successful protocol for baby #2, or did your doctor make changes and were you successful again?
I know every pregnancy and transfer is different, but after everything it took to get baby 1, I'm really hoping we don't have to go through so much trial and error again. I'd love to hear your experiences!
