Is there anything else we can do?!

Hi all.

I'm new here (residing in Germany). My question may sound very basic and desperate, but I do hope I can find a sensible answer here.

With my wife we have been trying to have a baby for a couple of years now. The thing that is bugging my mind is, we have been trying the same IVF rounds, one after each-other:

- we have Blastocysts; at first fresh, but now "frozen"!

- they get trasnferred

- my wife (~38 yo) starts receiving medication (Progesterone, etc.)

- a couple of days after the end of the cycle the attempt fails.

- repeat...

Coming from science, I feel like there can be a more "active" way of trying. E.g. trying to find the "why" of the failures, and trying different methods to at least try to overcome the issue.

But we haven't witnessed any such thing from the clinic's side. Not even anything about what to eat and what not to eat (which I guess can be important on my wife's side?).

It could be "the way" to do IVF. But could you please let us know, if there is anything else we can/should try? For example do different countries have different approaches (UK vs. Germany)? Are there clinics which run more advanced tests to find the problem and fix it?

Any sort of lead is very much appreciated :)

You might be better posting this on one of the fertility pages, the BPAS is for woman looking for terminations so not very many who are going through IVF, good luck on your journey
