C+C_Schmid this is a test that checks the uterus for killer cells, plasma cells and the microbiome. There is a similar test in Germany, but according to my gynecologist, taking a sample is only possible through a biopsy, which requires anesthesia. With the meta-test, taking a sample is not so time-consuming.
Let's go, part 2?!

ES-META (Microbiome Endometrial Typing Analysis) is recommended for patients with
infertility, repeated miscarriages or failed implantations, as well as for patients with recurrent
as well as for patients with recurrent episodes of vaginosis.
ES-META results provide information on whether facultative or strict
pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi) are present in the endometrium or not.
Likewise, they provide insight into the proportion of Lactobacillus and other microorganisms,
that make up the microbiota. These species are typed to determine whether their composition is
favor fertility or could impair it.
If impaired, the medical team prescribes specific treatment to improve the
microbiota of the endometrium and to prevent the possible progression of
Diseases that could hinder the achievement of pregnancy.
All the best and warm regards

Hello all,
I am new here
I see that some of you have been to a clinic in Madrid. Could you tell me in which one? I am also undergoing treatment in Madrid (IB Madrid).
I am interested to know how you also went to IB or to another clinic (and what your experience was there).

Welcome to the forum!
I'm with Minifiv in Madrid and I'm generally very happy there.
How long have you been with IB? When is the transfer scheduled!

we are in Madrid at Tambre and this year we had a little daughter so we are very happy

At IB since spring already (had my HSK done there as well).
I had a FET in July (my 1st attempt ever, unfortunately was a biochemical SSW) and now on 08/29 the second (BT in 2 days). Honestly don't have that much faith, although nothing would make me happier.
Today I also got a fever (gottseidank under 38 degrees).
Anxiety and hope, that is my status

Can I ask how many attempts there were?
-
We have succeeded in the 3rd attempt (1st with a new donor), and now the first attempt for a full sibling was not successful. We still have 2 blastos left to get a sibling ...

May I ask how many attempts there were?
with Tambre it was attempt no. 1

So it makes perfect sense to change the donor?
-
We had only 2 blastos with the first donor - one biochem. Pregnancy and once no implantation. Therefore, we had no other choice. Now, as I said, we have the 2nd donor and after our daughter and an unsuccessful attempt, two more blastos on ice.

Hello,
Obviously the mood swings from the estrogen have me in their grip. It's not that I'm relaxed right now (full job, child in the afternoon and she doesn't sleep through the nights yet... plus the sadness...), but my goodness.... I don't remember it being that intense!!!
Oh well, this week will be intense with the ultrasound on Friday and then we'll see! 💪🏻🥰🤞🏻
-
Dear Lalelu22, I have often thought of you and am of course curious about how it goes. You already have your ultrasound on Friday, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that the mucosa builds up well. I also had very strong mood swings from the estrogen during my second cycle. I hope that you will be rewarded with a well-developed mucosa.
For me it is now a matter of waiting. I have now taken the test for killer cells etc. with my doctor. I did the test for killer cells etc. at my doctor's and also gave blood for coagulation. And I have to say that it worked out very well with the organization. The test was sent to me from Spain. And everything went really well. Also the collection by a messenger in the practice was punctual and professional. Now I hope that I will get my results at the end of the week. And since I had already given blood, I had a few more values tested, iron, iodine, selenium, zinc and vitamin A.
It took me a while to feel really good again after taking the hormones. But now, in my opinion, I and my body are doing well again. The next transfer can come unless I have to medicate something. I am planning to do the next cycle naturally, or if possible with Letrozole. Do you have any experience with this? I follow a Canadian repromedicine doctor on YT and he always cites a study where letrozole treatment is probably the best. But from the forums here I only know the estrogen stimulated cycle or the natural one.
-
Thank you very much, Coco_F.
That sounds very good for you for the time being! I keep my fingers crossed that the values bring you further. Let me know in any case!
And good to know that the mood swings are apparently normal.
I will now fill up on energy for the rest of the week, which feels like it's already taking forever 😵💫🙈
Very best regards to you all! 😘

Hello dear ones,
I was in ALC from Thu to Sat. After the messed up last cycle, everything looked good this time. 8.9 mm SH before progesterone start, which is great for me. On transfer day 8mm. Dr. was very very satisfied all in all. Also with the transfer. She said if it doesn't come out positive then she doesn't know....
I always do a series of tests. Today on transfer plus 6 negative. On transfer plus 7 also. Also, I haven't had any implantation bleeding yet, I usually have. With my son and also with the unsuccessful SS one has always seen something at transfer +6. I don't know if this will change. I have my doubts. So completely white.... Had unfortunately before and from transfer all the time strong irritating cough attacks. My first mild cold since Corona but the cough is as irritating and dry as Corona. Maybe it was too exhausting. I would then have to do some research into the cause. We still have two blastocysts with quality 5BB after PGT-A (euploid). Could my implantation window have shifted after the miscarriage in November 22 (MA with scrape). What all investigations should I start now? In 2020 before my son everything was tested so far..... Thrompohilia, ERA, IMMAP, KIR HLAC only AFTER the fact (at my request, I'm missing the three most important KIR genes), but I guess it matches to some extent.
I'm kind of down today and can't really concentrate. I'm running out of time.... It's stressing... Also have pulling in the UL (mens?).Trusting that having a full sibling will still work out (which would be so important to me for my son) is a challenge right now.

Dear Fly81,
we are in a similar situation. We had a healthy daughter in Feb 2023 and are very grateful. We still have one blastocyst on ice. We plan to have that inserted in early 2024. I will be 49 years old then. I meanwhile see it like this: if it works, great, if not, then not. We will not start a new treatment. There are more than enough happy families with one child. There are more than enough couples where it didn't even work out with one child. Our daughter has already got a daycare place from Feb 2024. There she can make her first friends.
Even if it seems impossible, try to distract yourself from the thoughts. I wish you good luck and that it still works out with the sibling.

Whoopee (not!)
Had transfer yesterday and since recently fat feeling of fullness and pulling in the left leg.
And once again my mood is rather suboptimal.
It also didn't help that the mouse has cough again and kept me up all night 🥱🥱.
Well, at least one day less until the blood test.
Sorry for throwing up 🤷🏼♀️
-
Oh wow, I had now somehow no longer on the screen, otherwise I would have wished you good luck....
But now!
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
It just has to work now!!!
-
Thank you very much! I have also said nothing before 🤭
I think during the week I'm not awake enough to test in the morning and will probably try on Saturday with a test... so, and now I visualize the whole thing times and hope that this is conducive to implantation 🥰
