Natural conception after IVF/ ICSI miscarriage anyone? I'm not ready to do it all again! 😢

[Me_and_him]

Hi all, sorry for the lonnnggg post!

It's been a while since I last posted. Been taking some time away to get ourselves back together and remember why we started this crazy, long, heartbreaking journey in the first place. Needed some time for perspective on our lives. We have just returned from an amazing holiday, really gave us the time away that we needed.

I was wondering if there's anyone out there who conceived naturally after suffering a miscarriage after IVF / ICSI? We have been diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility'. We fell pregnant on our first round of IVF but sadly lost our baby at 9 weeks.

I'm not keen on going through the whole IVF process again at the moment, if I'm honest, I'm not ready to do it all again and I'm fearful of how I would handle a negative outcome or even another loss. Parts of me are still broken and I don't think I'll ever put all the pieces back together but I'm trying. So in the meantime we aren't going to continue trying and decide where to go next.

Thanks all x

Hi, not ivf but we had our first bfp from our 5th iui cycle but miscarried in January this year. Took a few months before I could face our last iui attempt as I found all the meds so difficult but it was unsuccessful. Then completely surprised to get a natural bfp two cycles later. We have been Ttc for 4.5 years with no hint of a bfp until this year. We were due to begin our first ivf cycle in September. We were unexplained but I have endometriosis.

I know it’s so hard to believe it will happen again because there are no guarantees and having got pregnant once didn’t make me feel any more confident that we would get our take home baby. Today is actually the EDD of our first pregnancy and I’m so desperate for this one to work out.

I would take the time to feel ready for another cycle as it’s so emotionally and physically draining. A natural conception is still possible before then even if it feels unlikely xxx

Yes l know someone who had 5 yrs ivf, multiple heartbreaks and conceived naturally. There is hope.

Aww I know your pain. The awful call when they ring say how many have fertilised just heart wrenching. So emotionally draining. I myself had 3 icsi. Or resulted in bfn. Then I fell pregnant naturally I couldn't believe it. Unfortunately we lost it at 10 weeks absolutely devastated. Then nothing since then. Now we have moved over to d.e took me sometime to accept this. But my only chance now especially now I'm 42. Wish you all the luck in the world. Xxx

I have had a very similar story as yours. I was wondering if you had any luck with the natural conception?
