What's next after failed IVF

[LisaHarada]

Hello ladies, I am 42 years old and after 3 years TTC and 2 failed IVF, I am trying not to wallow in misery and self pity, but instead plan for the next step. This may come across as being negative but perhaps this will not happen to me and I have to come to terms with it. I am thinking of surrogacy and wondering if anyone out there has tried this before and can share their experience? If this doesn't work, adoption is my last option but that seems complicated legally and it would really be my last option. Sorry to bother, just feeling a bit down...

Hi Lisa. You might like to contact Surrogacy UK for their advice. It's not easy, but worth it once you can ge on a programme. Good luck! Diane

Hi Lisa didn’t want to read and run. This is such a soul destroying journey. We’ve had 3 attempts, 2 MC’s and 2 BFN’s and it doesn’t get any easier. I would say take some time out, be kind to yourselves, I always think date nights and a wee holiday helps. We’re 8 years down the long and vert wynding road but defo not ready to give up yet. We are thinking about donor now as I genuinely do think it’s my egg quality due to endometriosis. Everyone on here is great and such a fab support. You do what is right for both of you. Take care xxxx
