4th cycle anyone else with me ?

[Godmother99]

I have had 3 failed ivf cycles and 1 failed fet on Feb. Just about to embark on 4th cycle in a few days. Dr suggested donor eggs but wanted to persevere with my own eggs for now

Anyone else in the same boat?

Would be great to hear from anyone else on their 4th cycle... 😀

Hey! That’s me! I’ve had 3 failed transfers (1st bfp but miscarriage at 7 weeks) and 2 failed fets. Have one frostie left!

Hoping to start again next month but have our consultation next week.

Hope you’re ok, it’s a long and challenging process isn’t it! Xx

[Godmother99 in reply to Catlady12345]

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It’s so tough. Before starting ivf I had 2 miscarriages both at 6 weeks.

Am excited and nervous at the same time..... very mixed emotions.

Good luck with next month and fingers crossed we both get what we want xx

[Catlady12345 in reply to Godmother99]

Definitely! When are you starting your next cycle? Keep in touch and let me know how you get on 😊 good luck 🌺 xx

[Godmother99 in reply to Catlady12345]

I will be starting to inject gonal F in a few days....

Yes will be good to keep in touch ..... nice to support each other... thanks ... take care and let me know how your consultation goes x

Hey Godmother.

My 3rd cycle failed in Feb. So we are due on our 4th. But got to wait 3 months now after husbands sperm showing high levels of oxidized stress. So he's now in proceed. We now have to wait see what he tests after 3 months I will be 43 then. Dr has also suggested donor eggs.

Good luck for you imminent round.

[Godmother99 in reply to Conceivingblee]

Thanks you too. Good to hear from ladies around my age. Good luck for your 4th cycle.... my fingers are crossed x

I’ve had 2 egg collections, 2 failed fresh transfers (both chemical pregnancies) and 1 failed FET (another chemical pregnancy). Gearing up for transfer #4 in April and, if that fails, will move forward for a third egg collection in the summer. This definitely hasn’t turned out to be the journey I imagined it would be! 🤯 Some of us have to fight a bit harder to get to that lucky embryo.

Wishing you all the very best - you’ve got this! 💪🏽💪🏽 Xxxx

[Godmother99 in reply to anz07]

Thanks for your story..... I never realised it would be such a long and challenging journey.

Good luck for April x

Hey, I’m the same. I just 37 and last year had my third failed cycle, my clinic have said it’s not impossible but if I wanted a drastic change then we should think about donor eggs. But I’m here again day three of stims hoping this time will be different 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[Godmother99 in reply to MarchieH]

Starting my stimming soon...... have been given a 10% chance ..... but I am gonna take the odds.

My best friend who is same age as me fell pregnant naturally at 45 so I am not ready to give up yet!!! X

[MarchieH in reply to Godmother99]

Good luck with your cycle, we all just need a little bit of luck on our side 🤞🏻

Best of luck to you. I’m on my 4th embryo transfer - second round (if a round is one lot of egg collection) and had a number of IUI attempts previously. Have had three miscarriages and lots of tests after the third. Nothing wrong found but I’m 42. Let us know how it all goes for you x

[Godmother99 in reply to Rehsuh]

Thanks. Hope your embryo transfer goes well.

It’s such a rollercoaster of a journey. Over 40s have it more difficult due to age and egg quality but it’s good to know there are ladies like us still on this journey together. Take care and will update you x

Hello Godmother99,

I am here too! Turning 44 in April, 3 ivf failed ivf (2 bfp and 1 cancelled). We've booked a consultation with another clinic to start the 4th cycle with my own eggs. Donor egg is out of question for us coz hubby doesn't want to.

🤞🤞🤞to all of us x

[Godmother99 in reply to Miracolo2]

Hi thanks for sharing your story here. We seem to be in the same boat. Hope all works out using another clinic xx

[Nane22]

Hi there I’m in similar boat too! I’m 38 and had 2 failed ivf one bfn and last one no eggs fertilised.. so clinic said they think poor egg quality although first round had top quality day 3 embryo. Hence was told to consider Donor egg... But having a few months break then going to try another clinic.. wishing you all the best good luck 🤞 xxx

[Godmother99 in reply to Nane22]

Hi good to hear from another lady in the same boat. Sometimes a break is good and can help reset mind and body.

Keep me updates about what you decide in the next few months.....good luck with it all xx

[Nane22 in reply to Godmother99]

Thank you 😊 xx wishing you good luck and keep me updated hope all goes well xx
