Sensitive post. Success story

I wanted to share my story briefly with you all so you don't give up. I used to always look for success stories on here and they always filled me with hope, so I hope this post does the same for you too .

TTC for 8 years. 4 [natural] miscarriages. 3 failed IVF/ICSI at Nuffield. Removed mild endo. All tests normal.

Husband has normal sperm count, Excellent DNA sperm fragmentation. Tried; acupuncture, hypnotherapy, teas, counselling and more.....

We then saw Dr Thum at the Lister Hospital. Tests showed high NK cells. Transferred last 2 embyros to Lister for FET combined with steroid treatment. Failed FET.

Fresh IVF cycle with Lister, short protocol Dec. 2019

This time it worked (5th time lucky) and we welcomed our baby boy in August.

I still look at him and can't believe it, we finally have a little person in our life. Honestly I didn't think I would get to write a positive story but it finally happened for us.

Without sounding patronising, please don't give up and good luck to you all xxx

I just wondering what it was that finally worked on your 5th transfer? Were you on immunology medication? Thanks

I think it was the steroids as I never used them before.
