In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I’m welcoming Dr. Meivys Garcia to discuss the crucial steps and considerations when a frozen embryo transfer fails. Dr. Garcia shares her expertise, personal experiences, and advice, offering a comprehensive guide for patients facing this challenging situation. The episode covers embryo quality, uterine assessment, the importance of lining and receptivity, as well as immune testing and treatments.
Dr. Garcia also shares five steps to consider if your frozen embryo transfer fails.
1. Ask if the embryo was normal, the morphology, and whether it was day five or day six. Talk to your doctor about what that means.
2. Look at the uterus.
3. Ask your doctor whether the cavity was assessed.
4. Look at the lining, the texture, and the thickness.
5. Receptivity: talk about the ERA protocol and how it was done, and then talk to your doctor about immune testing.
