Delayed 2nd IVF Transfer

[KFC1233]

hi ladies

I haven’t been on here for sometime and just thought I would post an update.

I had a IVF transfer in my which failed unfortunately and I was due to half my second transfer in July, which would be a frozen embryo. I went on holiday last month and when I returned, my mindset had changed mentally I was struggling a bit just generally with some personal things and decided not to go ahead with my IVF second round in July. I think this was a wise decision as I felt like I wanted to have a couple of normal periods as well and just let myself overall heal. The clinic agreed for me to do what is best for me and gave full support.

I have planned my frozen transfer to happen in October so between now and then I have about 2 1/2 months.

I’d like to ask just out of interest as anyone else been in a position where they have delayed their next round? I am hoping that this will also be beneficial for me as I am making sure I heal mentally and physically have a couple of regular periods and the main thing I wanted to ask was is there any advice you can give that I should be taking 2 1/2 months before my next transfer that may help me be successful for my frozen transfer in October? I’d like to be doing all I can right now. I do take pregnant Carmax tablets every day, including folic acid and coq10.

any other support help advice, opinions anything at all would be appreciated xx

Me! I've taken a few breaks between failed treatments and it has done me the world of good. I jumped into a new IVF round just 5 weeks after my miscarriage in December and this was a big mistake-my mental health was through the floor and I was a mess! So when that cycle didn't work I took a 4-month break to really embed some habits to improve my wellbeing (nothing like lifting heavy stuff at the gym for rebuilding trust in your body). I can't say it's helped my mindset completely, as I'm still a tangle of nerves on this new IVF cycle, but I'm still faring better than if I hadn't taken the break

Hi

That’s really positive to hear! I’m glad you took a break also. When does your next IVF round begin?

I am also glad that I have taken this break and it also feels good to just generally have a break from IVF. X

I'm in it! I'm hoping to have my Day 5 embryo transfer tomorrow. I say 'hope' because there are sadly no guarantees, but I'm keeping everything crossed.
