5 failed ivf attempts

[Nikisoni]

Hi, I have been through 5 failed ivf attempts- 2 stims - 1 fresh cycle, 4 frozen cycles. 1 MC and 1 ectopic (lost 1 fallopian), rest were unsuccessful. I am not sure what do next. I am 36 and husband 37 and feel like time is running out.

I have mild pcos but had good amh. Our last FET was in May and now just taking a break 😢.

Any advice will be helpful.

Heya. I don’t have any specific advice to offer in terms of what to try , I just wanted to say I understand how hard it is - but the fact that you got pregnant twice, even if it didn’t end well, is a good thing. It’s a step in the right direction, and you just need to keep going. Sadly this can be a gruelling journey, but it’s worth carrying on! 36 and 37 isn’t old - we got pregnant first time when I was 36 and hubby 50, second time I was 40 (just turned 41 and 21 weeks 🤞 ). We had 5 stim cycles altogether and 10 transfers.

Sending strength and encouragement , it will be worth it 🤞💫☘️

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your losses, it’s such a long frustrating journey. Do you have a diagnosis? I was unexplained, MC, 5 failed attempts. I had to find out what I had, as clinic did nothing. Eventually got a diagnosis of adenomyosis and had quite a few operations. 7 years before I had my baby at 40. I was on last chance saloon. Not sure where you are but if your in the Uk and into holistic therapy, the healing trust is worth a look at, energy healing and talking helped me. Take care. 💕

Yes, it is unexplained. I did my 1st stim and 3 transfers in the UK. Then 2nd stim and other 2 transfers were done in India.

We are in the UK and will look into holistic therapy. We haven't had much of counselling but felt we need to take a break for now

Thanks for the support.

Ah ok, so being unexplained is a red flag that seeing a consultant and having a laparoscopy if you already haven’t is the next step to being proactive and finding out if you may need treatment. I always had a really thin lining, so embryos would not stick. I hope get some answers. 🤞
