Hello ladies,
Today was the day to test. After 2 weeks, test is negative. I am so so devastated. This is such a cruel journey. Feeling so so down. As I'm 45 this is the last attempt. Maybe egg doner is the only option for us now, Seems so hard. Would love to hear from other ladies who have used egg doners. Also going abroad what was the experiences like. And recommendations would be much appreciated.
Thanking you all for your care and support.
Kindest regards to all.
Xx
I'm really sorry to read your update.
No advice unfortunately but sure there are lots of other ladies who can share their experience with you 😘
Sending you lots of love 💕💕💕
Sorry to hear about your recent negative cycle, it's so hard!! I'm having DE treatment abroad after using my OE with little success. We got a few blastocysts from the cycles but none to freeze. We have had really good embryos from using DE but there are no guarantees and I'm perhaps one of the unlucky ones that we havent had success just yet. Last 2 times we got pregnant but lost them. However we think we now know the reason for it so just waiting to try again. Happy to chat if you have any questions.xx
I had 3 good embryo put back 5 days blasts. 5 eggs collected. 3 fertilised and all made it to day 5. So my embryologist decided to put all in to increase my chances. So so disappointed. Feels like the end of the road for us. Hubby's got low sperm count, did get pregnant naturally. But ended in chemical. Thinking of having all tests done before I go through anything else. Any tests you can recommend. Thanking you so much
My husband also has a very low sperm count but ICSI takes care of that. Unfortunately as we get older the number of viable embryos decline even if we do get to blastocyst stage. That was out main reason to move to DE but that's not for everyone. Have you had your thyroid checked? I also taken blood thinners which is sometime recommended for is older women. My 2 latest changes were to take steroids (prednisolone) and I've recent found out my progesterone levels are low even although I'm on a pretty high dose of pessaries so having injections next time. When you have a review ask the consultant what his thoughts are. Our consultant basically told us that he thought our chances of success at almost 40 with my own eggs was around 5% which was a shock, knew it would be low but not that low. Good luck.xx
I’ve not used donor eggs but just wanted to let you know that I’m really sorry you’ve had such horrible news. I’m sure they’ll be lots of people who have experience with this on here. Be kind to yourself xx
I’m so sorry to read this, sending big hugs as I can’t offer any stories on DE. Lots of love and look after yourself at this sad time xx
Thankyou so much.
I’m sorry hun that it didn’t work 😔
I had fresh cycle this feb with one put in grade A+ and it didn’t work ...and last month we done natural frozen cycle and two embryos grade A put back in ...few days ago was my OTD and again didn’t work.
I’m 39 and all my tests r ok but I don’t know what other tests can be done to give me clear idea why didn’t work..us I did had a baby (27 months old) from my second cycle.
I’m really sorry hun I wish to have words for u to make u feel bit better.
Ivf is such a cruel journey for all of us ..😔
Sending u lots of love 💕 xx
I’m so sorry, it’s so heartbreaking to get a negative 😢 I’m 34 and currently doing my 4th fresh cycle. If it doesn’t work we’ll be going ahead with DE abroad. Hasn’t been an easy decision, but I’m starting to get my head around it already as just sooo ready to be holding our baby in my arms now and know DE would give us the best chance, as we always have poor quality embryos for some reason. It may not be the route you’d planned/ hoped for, but heck what part of this journey was?! Good luck honey ☘️ Xx
So sorry to read this, I was really rooting for you. I dont know if its any help but my clinic won't treat you at 45 as they say ethically it doesnt feel right to them as you have the same chance of getting pregnant naturally as you do via IVF. (they are a not for profit clinic) so IVF isn't improving your chances (just one clinics opinion but I thought it was interesting as I assumed if I was paying I could just keep going as long as I wanted as long as I was getting blasts etc). I think donor eggs whilst not an easy decision is very much a logical next step and something we are discussing currently. Its not right for everyone but it does unlock a world of possibilities when age isn't on your side. Take some time to get over this sadness before you make any decisions though.. I am sure it will all become clear xx
Thankyou so much Daisy, my husband has a very low sperm count chances of natural conception were very low. Hence advised icsi
Kind regards
So sorry for you Xx
So sorry to hear that x lots of love to you x
So sorry to hear your news.. Sending you love xox
So sorry to read this, sounded like 3 was increasing your chances. I hope your clinic will offer more tests & thoroughly investigate why it didn’t work.
Thinking of you 😘
Awwwh darling I’m gutted for you I really am I hope you get the answers you so badly want and you get a positive outcome one way or another good luck darling xxx
Just to say I am so very sorry to read this and I’m sure devastated doesn’t even come close to how u r feeling so sending u lots of hugs. I think most people on here can relate to how devastating it is when it doesn’t work and just how lost u feel. Have the clinic suggested u stop using own eggs or r u thinking of donor eggs? Either way a really tough decision thinking of u and hoping u will start to heal at some point soon take care of yourself xx
I don’t have experience myself of egg donors but a good friend had treatment in Spain (3 rounds) and on the last round ended up with twins aged 44. So I maybe it can give you a little bit of hope 💖
Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m 43 and had 4 failed rounds with my eggs. My first DE round in Barcelona worked and I now have a 4 month old daughter. It’s a big step to move to donor but I’m so happy I did. X
No day 2/3 progress call for embryos? Straight to day 5? 
Positive pregnancy test, negative blood?? 
No embryos day 5 - hope lost
Two 3 day embryos transferred hope I made the right decision!
FET - embryos great on day 3 cancelled transfer day 5
