Yet another failure

Well thats my third failed round of fresh IVF. AF showed its evil face yesterday morning. I still have to go for blood tests tomorrow morning as they want to check if it was another chemical or if there was just no reaction from my body. I personally think it was a chemical as I had a bit of blood on day 3 & day 4 which I am sure was implantation blood. Trying very hard to keep my chin up right now xxx

I'm sorry to hear this,just experienced something similar myself x

[Hidden in reply to Stepharni]

Im so sorry Stepharni that you have just had to experience this too, this is all just so cruel and hard!

[Stepharni in reply to Hidden]

How are you doing today? x

[Hidden in reply to Stepharni]

I am ok thanks, I guess we have no other choice but to dust our knees off and keep going. I must be honest though, I do feel like there is not much hope left 🤦🏻‍♀️. How you feeling?

[Stepharni in reply to Hidden]

Pretty much the same in that picking myself up off the floor and regaining strength is what I must do. I know I'll do it again soon...shall see what the Prof suggests and kick on! There's hope xx

[Hidden in reply to Stepharni]

Chin up Hun, today is a new day and we can do this 👊. Good luck with the appointment with the Prof. Thinking of you xxxx

So sad for you at your news. It's so difficult to come to terms with. After my failed 3rd fresh round I had extra tests to check for implantation issues, and discussed different protocols with my consultant. For my 4th round I changed to short protocol, used DHEA, had a scratch and different drugs. Now 9 weeks pregnant. Don't give up hope, they learn from each cycle. But take time for yourself and have a good rest xx

[Hidden in reply to Sarah_S]

Thanks so much for your message. I often see people talking of short protocol, sorry to sound ignorant but what is the difference with the normal IVF? I am willing to look at all options and try anything. I have just found that everything I have brought up with my dr he tells me he doesnt believe in it or he rambles on about according to statistics blah blah. But of course I an willing to take any suggestions to the table and discuss it with him.

Huge Congratulations on your pregnancy, its so wonderful to hear some positive stories, especially when you having a day where you dont have much hope left.

[Sarah_S in reply to Hidden]

For short protocol there is no down regulation phase, just the stim drugs, and they changed those too. I have low ovarian reserve and didn't respond well to being blasted with high dose drugs on long protocol. Short protocol was described to me as gentler, not going for large numbers of eggs but focusing on quality instead. But actually ended up getting 6 eggs, more than any previous rounds. Really depends on individual circumstances and your consultant. We're all at the mercy of the knowledge and recommendations of our clinics, although you could always get a second opinion to see what a different clinic would recommend with your circumstances and history. Good luck whatever you decide xx
