Holding on to hope.

Hi everyone,

So this month marks three years of trying. still no closer to finding out why we haven't succeeded, but I have a review appointment at the clinic soon. Just don't know whether to keep up hope and keep going or to accept that we might never have children x

Don't loose hope, my friend was also trying for 3 years and then it suddenly happened and she now has a beautiful baby girl. I have been trying for 11 months, feels more like 11 years. I can only imagine what it must feel like after 3 years. All the ladies here are heros. Not giving up and loosing hope while trying to deal with unknowns and defying nature is tricky and hard. The more posts I read on here I realise how amazing you are ladies!! X

Every review I've had has given a little more information. We now know what our problem is, after paying for lots of extra tests, but we still don't have a child. It's over three years for us now. It's hard, isn't it.

It's very hard. We still don't know what is wrong with us and it's really frustrating because it seems unless we pay for it, they aren't interested in us! Just left us with our diagnosis and no support system. Hopefully at some point over the years we will see a double line- just to see one would be amazing x

We are at 3 years too and with no explanation. It's so frustrating and I try not to hope too much because it never happens when I think we might be lucky.

But without that hope I'd give up . There is always success stories after years of trying and it will keep us going. But today is a down day we are entitled to them. Tomorrow is a new day and I hope and wish you the best of luck xx

Hello, I feel your pain we have also just passed the 3 year TTC mark with unexplained and not really any information. Had our second bfn at start of this month from our second transfer (total of 3 embies now) and our 3rd cycle of IVF. Got to wait 6 weeks for the follow up with the consultant to discuss next steps /options.. we have 2 frozen embryos from the last go but feel we need to pay for further investigative tests before we try again. We will get there xx
