We have just had our 6th failed cycle. I have a gorgeous son from our 1st DE cycle in 2017, but since then 6 failed DE FETs ( 2xneg same donor as our son, 2nd donor =1x early misc, 1xneg, 2 x biochem preg) we have one embryo left.
I'm just so tired😔 I don't know if I have it in me to try this final time. Or if this one fails whether I'll then be able to stop as I'm so desperate for a sibling for my son. But the emotional strain is taking its toll and it's affecting us all daily. My head is all over the place. It feels like there is nothing else to try or add in to the cycle to give us a better chance, I don't know how to move forward. I will make an appointment with the clinic asap for a follow up.
I'm not sure what I'm needing by doing this post, but putting myself out there in case anyway is in a similar position 💞

Oh bless you I am so sorry for what you have been through, sounds like a really tough journey...and must be added difficulty that you have had your son and so I guess you feel like you should be able to do it again if you see what I mean!? Like why would it work once but not again?
I am not sure how recent the cycle that failed was but I would definitely take a bit of time off to get your head round it and recover. Once we get on this road its often so relentless and with all your transfers and losses it bound to be chipping away at you emotionally and physically.
I feel like if you didnt give the last embryo a go you might always wonder 'what if'? So it might be worth doing that one and then having a break and a think about what next?
Sometimes its not all the bells and whistles and tests and supplements, sometimes it is just luck... maybe that one will be the lucky one?
I'm so sorry it didn't work for you this time again. I know how hard the feeling is. I also have a son from first IVF try and thought that giving him a sibling will be a piece of cake.........how wrong I was! 7 transfers and 8 embryos later is still didn't work out and we decided we can't continue, it's taking too much physical and mental strain on me.But I agree with Daisy....if you won't try at least with this last remaining embryo you might regret it later on in your life.
Also, to decide to stop the treatment, is not an easy call. Good luck with your decision and sending you much love xxx
