It must be very difficult to stay positive after two failed attempts, but I truly believe that if you feel good it will help. A healthy body equals a healthy mind and all! Stay strong,go for a walk or do some exercise, drink lots of water and only fill the shopping trolley with healthy stuff. You can do it and you know you'll feel better for it xxx good luck xxx

Try to remember that you didn't fail the cycle- the cycle failed you. I hope your next one is the successful one :) x

Thank you for this thought xxx

Hi! kirdrew, I know the feeling, I had my 2nd cycle failed on last Saturday, it still hurts. However with my husband support and the advice and support I got here I was able to pick myself up and continue with my normal life. I got more support here than from my clinic. Never mind I just decided, to eat and drink whatever I feel like. I could not care less, at least for now. Am giving myself a break for a few months so I might try again in September. But before I do am considering doing a couple of test to ensure everything fine. I spoke to a specialist in recurring failed implantation and she said I should check to see my vitamin D levels, my thyroid function and the Karyotyping test. she said that is the three most important test to have because it can have an impact on fertility. In my case my lining are fine and the blastocyst is of high quality, so there is not a obvious reason for it not happening. Anyway, you take care and when ready you make your next move. keeping my fingers cross for you.

Hi dear kirdrew! The pain is similar but all of respond differently. As in my case, having failed one fresh 5dt and then FET in March, I kind of hated feeding me. I knew I put on weight as well and needed to loose at least a stone. I don't know how, but I related my disappointment (,that I showed in hating to feed myself) to efforts to lose a stone before I start next FET. I got somehow busy in trying find out healthy foods, counting calories in my diet, excluding fats, sugars,carbs from my diet, finding ways to add protein in my food and obviously lessening food portions. I could not do exercises because for one and half month I experienced pains and tiredness from the cycle that I gone through in Feb-March this year. In a way I used my anger to control my weight. Now I got date to start long protocol using buserline nasal spray in first week of July, and know what? I lost 10kg in this waiting list time. Writing this post, o may sound very normal to have control on my drives to starve myself on disappointment, but I don't feel that much. As the sadness is still lurking deep down in my heart that never ends. But resilience has different kinds and may be mine is that which I go through with you all.

May be you also try to think on weight loss lines

Thanks for your response I differently think the weight gain has an emotional thread.

I have given myself a starting date and it's really helped acknowledging it on here.

Time to take control and give this final cycle everything I've got.

Good luck to you xxx
