Hello ,

Has anyone any experience of falling pregnant naturally after a failed ivf ? Hoping for some inspiration after a what is most likely now for me a failed fresh ivf cycle . Thank you 💓

I did on my next period - unfortunately I miscarried/had a suspected ectopic but I have a history of recurrent miscarriages and ectopics anyway

Yes me! I had 2 failed IVF where I didn't have any eggs collected. However, fell pregnant after my first ivf but miscarried and then had ivf again which failed but then fell pregnant naturally a couple of months later and have been blessed with a beautiful little girl.

It can happen...dont lose faith...xx

Its happened to me recently. Have really low amh and husband has terrible sperm. We were told cant really conceive naturally . Our first fresh ivf transfer failed end of July ( I bled on day 8). Thought I was starting to go through perimenopause but recently just got a positive pregnancy test. We're a bit baffled to be honest. Only thing I did differently was tried to believe I can get pregnant and starting praying to everyone! ( and took a zillion supplements both me and hubby) also starting walking alot. currently 6 weeks so still very early days but hoping and praying this is our little miracle that we get to keep this time . Good luck lovely xxxx

Good to hear this. I'm facing similar conditions. Couldn't conceive naturally for years due to DH sperm related issues and mild pcos. I have had 2failed IVF. I'm looking forward to having a miracle baby. Kindly tell me some of the supplements that helped you. Thanks 👍

This is amazing 💓

I failed my fresh IVF last year, I’m now having a last frozen embryo days 10. But I haven’t got any symptoms at all. I am doing the test this Friday, hopefully the baby will come to us.

Morning Daisyjulia,

Yes, this has just happened to me!

My husband and I have suffered with infertility for over 4 years. My husband's sperm is lacking in a protein called PLCzeta, which is essential for fertilisation to occur. After 3 failed fresh IVF/ICSI cycles and one failed FET transfer I have, but some miracle, fallen pregnant the old fashioned way!

I am currently 6 weeks, 3 days and waiting on my Midwife booking appointment in a few weeks.

So, it can happen. All the very best of luck to you :) xx

Hi lovely,

Yes there’s definitely hope. My brother and his wife after many mc’s. They had 3 goes of ivf unsuccessfully over the course of 2 years and 3 months later fell pregnant naturally, they had a healthy boy and then thinking no precaution was needed 8 weeks later fell again with their second son...... It definitely kick started the fertility for sure,,,,, Always stay positive and a wishful thinker and I believe good things happen 🤗Xxx

Yes we’ve had 4 failed transfers, the last being last December and we fell pregnant for the first time ever in May but sadly we miscarried at 9 weeks. Just praying it can happen again otherwise we will try ivf again in the new year xx

Hey lovely. Yes, me! We had a BFN on our last round (3rd round) then the following month fell pregnant naturally. Am currently 24.5 weeks 💕💐

I took a load of supplements after our last failure, I don’t know if they made any difference but I’m happy to share if you’d like them.

Very best of luck. Xx

I didn’t have IVF but fell pregnant naturally straight after a failed IUI. Unfortunately that was a chemical pregnancy but the very next cycle I got pregnant naturally again and our son will be 3 in December! We had unexplained infertility so technically no issues with my ovulation but I’m sure those stimulation drugs jump started something 😂. Good luck! Xx

Hiya,I had three failed ivf rounds with no natural pregnancies in between, for over a year..

Then after a failed round in July, whee we got two abnormal embryos so couldn't even transfer, I got pregnant the following month... It ended in a chemical. I then got pregnant again the following month and now 16 weeks.

For me, I needed help to keep the baby- I'm on all sorts of meds for recurrent miscarriage and aggressive nk cells.

But, to answer your question: yes you can fall naturally after failed ivf!

Good luck x

All the best in your pregnancy🙋‍♀️🤩
