Hey there

Any ladies out there with three failed transfers and up transferring late July? I have my fifth transfer scheduled Thursday and looking to share with/support other ladies who have also been through the ringer ivf-wise? Xxxx

It is an emotional rollercoaster and every cycle brings its own challenges. I have just had my fourth transfer and my first proper transfer. Due out first scan on Tuesday. Hope this is your time too. Good luck.

Oh sorry, autocorrect. That should be first proper positive. I’ve had chemicals before but this one is sticking for now 🤞

ohhhhh woooo That is one autocorrect. What amazing news! Congratulations. I had my first chemical last cycle, which was my first ever bfp. Reallllllly praying we don’t go back to bfn. Xx

It’s such a torture having a chemical after going through so much. In hindsight now I should have known our chemical wasn’t going to last as the HCG numbers were so low but I held onto hope. This time is so different. But I’m still so nervous about the scan tomorrow. Until I see a heartbeat I can’t relax or believe in it properly 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh you are doing the ERA. I considered it but money is really tight for us right now. Is it the whole shebang of a long cycle or a short cycle? I hope you get some answers! Xxx

It’s a tough journey and I feel your pain. I am currently in a FET cycle due to transfer at the end of the week if my scan goes to plan tomorrow. This will be my 8th transfer. Keep positive as each attempt is different and I live in hope that we will get there. Here for support so feel free to keep in touch xx

Morning Georgie! We will be in the 2ww together. Thanks for reminding to me think about as each transfer as new potential. It is definitely hard to feel hopeful after so many failures. What protocol are you on? What will be new for you this time? Xxx

I am on progynova and will start prontogest if scan goes well with my lining..... everything will be the same but without steroids which we can't have due to covid. I did get pregnant on my last attempt and carried the baby to 18 weeks but miscarried so the ivf part did work and fingers crossed it will again one day. It's just so hard but I am the ever optimist . Good luck and I will keep an eye on your progress xx

Ladies, I am struggling. 6dp5dt today and woke up in a funk. Feeling sad and angry. I just can’t understand how this works for some people FIRST TIME.

I just can’t believe I am here, still fighting.

Feeling pretty convinced it hasn’t worked again and I know I will survive because I do every time, but I don’t need anymore life lessons from this shit. I need to be pregnant!

Eurgh, don’t even know why I am here ranting but I needed to get it out. Lord, help us. This is exhausting. Xxxx
