Story so far: ICSI because of poor morphology. first fresh round only got one morula. Failed cycle. Second fresh round: 2 top grade blastos one put back and failed second going back on June 20th.
1. Had anyone had success with a similar experience?
2. Suggestions of what I should be doing to help in the run up to transfer?
3. Can we h e u protected sex while on the meds / run up to transfer?
4. Anything else positive to just help me feel less dejected 😞
I would definitely recommend acupuncture. Wishing lots and lots of luck! Xx💕🍀
Hello I can’t help with answers to number one as we are still going through it 🤦♀️
My advice for the run up to transfer is to try and be as relaxed as possible I know it’s easier said than done but it’s honestly a life saver to chill abit. As for the rest of it I have done every single thing in the book…. Pinapple, pomegranate, accupuncture, hot feet, literally every suggestion …. It’s not made an ounce of difference. Just eat well, regular light excercise, lots of positive thinking, good friends or someone to talk to and know that you are strong enough and doing everything you can.
To be honest I’ve never had sex in the run up or the tww mostly because I am bursting out of my clothes and feel like a whale 😂 plus the doctors rammed the stick in there a good few times 😂😂
Don’t ever feel dejected. We are all in this together. You are never alone. Smile, laugh watch some crazy comedies or some terrible tik tok dancing xxx you’ve got this xxx
Thank you so much! This is so lovely - it’s amazing how this group of strangers make me feel so supported 😘
Our first (fresh) transfer failed, but our first FET was successful and is now 2 years old. Hold onto the hope 💜
I think it's so hard to know what helps, or not. I did acupuncture both times. The first one, I rested a lot; the second I was in the midst of working and writing a dissertation and was really busy & distracted.
I'm about to have another FET and am just trying to put myself in the best place mentally. I'm doing acupuncture again, giving myself a day off here and there to do something nice and had a massage to relieve some stress. I also always compile a little list of treats to work my way through if treatment doesn't work - I'm not saying it helps you feel less sad, but it gives you something positive to do /focus on when you're grieving.
Re: sex, my doctors have always said only protected sex is allowed from down-regulation onwards.
Good luck! Hope it goes well x
Thank you so much. Lovely list of things I can do and good to hear some positive stories 😘
On average it takes 3 rounds for success. I had success after 1 failed fresh transfer (2 embryos) and 1 frozen transfer (2 embryos). On 3rd attempt I transferred 3 embryos (as over 40) and success. So don't feel too dejected. I have heard stories on here on success on 8th 9th attempt but hopefully it won't take that many attempts!
My 2nd success was after 3 cycles.
In run up to transfer try and be relaxed, do things that make you happy, be positive, visualise lots of follicules growing during stimulation, embryo implanting after transfer and holding your gorgeous baby in your hands. Be positive and determined it is going to happen. My fertility coach on youtube has some free visualizations.
It is really hard after each setback. I felt like success seemed impossible but you got to allow yourself to feel down then pick yourself up and keep going.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for the positivity - I need it!
