Overthinking our failed cycle

we had our 8th transfer on 4th aug. I know it hasn't worked. it was a DE FET and due to my history I'm on high dose prednisolone, cyclogest,lubion,clexane and oestrogen. My menopausal symptoms have already started 6d ays post transfer and I'd been having bloods every hrs 48since transfer to monitor my e2 and progesterone and they had been fluctuating,levels sat and Mon had leveled so decided to halt blood tests. I know it's likely it's just 'not worked' but I cant help to analyse everything and not feel it's something I've done!we have no further embryos and in all honesty for mentalhealth I think thatsit. If we do decide to go again we've probably got a 6month wait for a new donor anyway!

im just feeling very alone and I know I've got lots of positives in my life but right now they're drowning

It is nothing that you have done or have not done that reflects on your treatment . Take comfort that you & your OH are doing every thing you can possibly do to help you achieve your goal .Take care

I hope you are okay 💜 have you taken a pregnancy test I don’t think the progesterone levels are the main thing to go by and period symptoms can be the hormones you are on. Xx

I hope you’re ok and please know that I’m sending lots of hugs you’re way xxxx

Sending you a lot of love. There is absolutely nothing you will have done... sometimes its just crappy luck. Do you know if it definitely didn't work? I only ask as I had zero symptoms and was convinced mine hadn't worked when I got my BFP a few years ago. Huge hugs xx

Thank you. I haven't done a test yet as putting it off as long as possible. With all my menopausal symptoms in full throttle I'm 99% sure it's not worked and clinging on to the 1% chance by putting off the test x
