Failed IVF.

I am blessed with 2 wonderful little boys. My oldest is now 6 and is the result of my first cycle of IVF. I was lucky enough to have another embryo which was frozen.

I had a surprise pregnancy and gave birth to another little boy 18months after my first born. My youngest is now 4 and a half.

I thought about my "Frosty" everyday since it was frozen and had all sorts of emotions when I naturally conceived. I longed to have my Frosty transfered.

Recently, I did undergo IVF to have the frozen embryo transfered and I am absolutely devastated to say that it did not work.

Yes, I have 2 wonderful little boys who I love dearly...... but I am truely heartbroken that the embryo that I have thought about every day for the last 7 years is no longer.

There is no option for us to have more IVF and I don't think I could go through it again anyway.

I'd really appreciate any advice from anyone who has been through anything similar.

I think one important question is if you would've done another round for a third baby if you hadn't conceived naturally your second one and had a FET with your frostie and it did work. If you know you would go for a third child anyway, consider it. If you thought of having two initially, and had your FET for a third baby because the frostie was already there snd you had got attached to it, grieve your loss and go on enjoying your two miracle children ❤ Another cycle might give you a third child, but it will never be the frostie that didn't make it. Take your time to grieve. Take your time to think through things well. There's no right answer. You have to find what's better for yourself, for your partner and for your children ❤❤❤
