Third failed cycle

[Cassy2023]

What questions should I be asking Consultants ? Feel like a failure yet again 😪

[Bomboncita]

Please don't feel like a failure. Speak to your consultants and if you are not convinced by what they say consider changing clinics. Sometimes it takes a little more than 3 cycles to make it work. Stay strong!

I'm so sorry your third round didn't work - it can be so hard to keep the faith but do hang in there. There are a few tests and checks you can do - some like tyroid and Vit D they should have looked at already but then there is testing the embryos, check if you have any immune issues making it not implant and ERA, EMMA and ALICE. Depending on your circumstances like age, any pregnancies though IVF or not they might be able to see which are worth trying to see if there something different to do next round. The HFEA calls these add ons and you can find details on them on their website. We chose the ERA which ended up making the difference because I normally have a short cycle and the normal ivf timings didn't work for my body.

It's a tough road and sometimes takes us longer to get to the end but hope your consultant is helpful and you have success on your next round xx

Be sure to look at HFEA website before seeing consultant so you are aware what different tests are. Also are you on low dosage aspirin/or heparin - this is thought to inform blood flow to the uterus and may aid implantation?

Good luck with your appointment and future treatment
