Hi,

I often read/post on the February 2007 - Sweet Beginnings board as my miracle baby boy was born in February 2007.

Here's a little info. about me...I hope you don't mind me joining your board.

My husband and I TTC several years ago and discovered that we were infertile. After trying three rounds of IVF, we weren't successful. I got pregnant two of the three tries but the first time ended in miscarriage, the second was tubal, and the third was nothing.

So, we decided to adopt. In February 2005 we brought home our first daughter who was almost three at the time. And four months later we brought home our second daughter who was just two days old.

Last June we discovered I was pregnant. We never epected it to happen...ever. So, our baby boy is truly a miracle from God (as are our daughters).

Anyway, we have a frozen embryo that we would like to transfer this year. Possibly in April or September. My question for any of you is, have any of you done a FET? And if so, was it successful? The statistics aren't really high for FET's and I'm alreading knowing it most likely won't work (not because I'm being negative but just because I'm being realistic). I really am not wanting to have to go down that emotional rollercoaster again but I can't imagine never implanting the FE or having someone else implant it, or just letting it go.

I want to be hopeful but I know to be realistic. I know things happen for a reason but I wonder why God allowed that embryo to survive...is it because we will be getting pregnant and having a successful pregnancy or is it because we're needing another life lesson? I'm scared and would like to know what others think.

Congrats on your daughters and your miracle boy What a great story.

I would go into this thinking that whatever happens happens...at least you are willing to give that little embie a chance, and that is wonderful.

I did 2 fresh and 2 fets...one of each worked. My son Eli is from my fresh cycle and we lost our baby at 16weeks for unknown reasons from the FET.

They are way less stressful than a fresh cycle and I think you will do great!! If you can handle fresh, FET will be a breeze!!!

Welcome to the board and good luck to you!! Keep us posted.

Oh and lots of embies make the thaw, it is out of our hands but worth a shot!!

I had 5 embies frozen and 3 made the thaw...lots have 100% thaw rates though!!
