Is anyone 45 here and doing ivf? I just did ivf again this time my 10th attempt. I got 5 embryos and they put 3 in my uterus 2 days ago. Im on duphaston pills twice a day and crynone twice a day. I thought last time would be my last but i had to give it another shot. Anyone got any advice how to make one of these embryos implant? I need some hope . Any over 43's got pregnant?

I am 46 and 4dp5dt tomorrow. Full disclosure, we used donor eggs. Might I suggest PGT analysis of your embryos. Although we used a donor, we still chose to do PGT in an attempt to transfer an embryo with really good implantation potential. I’m still very worried though because of the endometrial side of things. But, very hopeful that we can “pull this off.” Hopefully, one of your precious embryos will implant this time and you won’t have to worry about it. Hang in there and best of luck...this wait is very hard! Quick question, I’ve been having waves of nausea...my heart wants it to be a pregnancy, but of course it may be the meds. I didn’t have it until after the transfer though-really bad last night. Have you ever had this issue with your meds?

Yes i had the most terrible nausea but thats because i took 3 ovitrelles lol . Once for the trigger shot, 2nd 2 days after embryo transfer and 3rd 5 days after embryo transfer. It was the most awful feeling i almost fainted a few times lol

Hey. I am 42 (I will be 43 when I have her) and 16 weeks pregnant with my own eggs and first IVF cycle. I know we are extremely lucky for this to happen. I have a few friends going through similar issues and I just keep saying it only takes 1 egg!!

Best of luck to your 3 embryos xx

You are a strong , brave woman. I pray this cycle turns to positive for you . I am 41 and I have had 4 failed ivf cycles. Planning on DE or adoption right now, but while waiting I decided to do a 5 th cycle that produced 6 eggs and ended up with 2 embryos on Tuesday. Waiting to transfer on Sunday and praying for it to be positive as well

Did you transfer 3 x 10 cycles embryos = 30 already? then, maybe worth checking if you have any immune issues/endometriosis/adenomyosis. I am not a doc but I read for our age 12 transfers before success would be the odds. So for a number largely over 12, maybe the problem is not the embryo but the implantation

Hey hon . Def no endemetriosus or any other problems i checked it all. 2 attempts never made it to embryo transfer disaster with the sperm and egg. So really its 8 times. 3 times x3 1 time x2 and 2 transfers of 1 so 13 embryos so far.... hopefully this time is it! Wow i never counted them all before. Thanks!

I hope it works out for you. Keep me updated. I am in a similar boat. I am soon 44 and have had a succession of failed cycles due to failed fertilisation. No transfer yet. By 13, you are close to the odds, so maybe this is your time. XX

Hi, I need some more inspiration of >43 still trying. How did your recent cycle go?

JoyfulStar in reply to Lilly12255

I am 43 and will be 44 still trying. I have had one BFN from a cycle I started when I was 42. I have just completed a multi cycle package of embryo banking. I have 3 blastocysts on ice and am currently assessing my options.

All the best with your journey 🙏🏾

Advice to make it implant, don't do anything strenuous, take it easy. Try and relax and do things that you enjoy. Drink lots of water. Watch comedies anything that is going to make you laugh and smile. Be positive and do a little bit of visualisation every day of your embryo implanting and growing. Picture holding your baby and imagine how you would feel. My fertility coach on youtube has a visualisation which I used to do everyday. I am 45 and 28wks pregnant. Good luck!
