Success after IVF failure

[Nats190]

Hello

Just wanted some success stories of IVF after the first round failed. We are meeting with the clinic for next steps soon. Anything we can do for next time?

Hi! I'm sorry to read your first round failed, ours did too. However, I'm now sat here listening to my 6month old daughter chat to her fingers! So have faith that it does work 😊Anyway, when we met with our consultant after our failed round, we discussed every detail from the stims, egg collection and fertilisation to possible causes for the failure and changes we could make for our FET (we were lucky enough to have 2 embryos in the freezer).

We opted for me to have an endometrial scratch....evidence around the benefits of this are inconclusive but we like to think it helped. We also added in extra progesterone, I didn't have my levels checked but the consultant said that having too much progesterone wasn't going to be a problem given that pregnancy is a high progesterone state.

My advice would be ask your consultant to go back through everything so you can understand what happened and your options moving forward. Sometimes they don't suggest things initially due to the extra cost (if your self funded) or because they aren't available (if you are NHS funded).

Hope that helps

Good luck x

Thank you. We will go through every detail before going again. That really does help.

We had one embryo reach blastocyst and no frozen ones, so need to start all over again. We are devastated, but determined to keep going. Hoping that another cycle will be successful.

Don’t lose hope! Hang in there. Wishing you love and baby dust from a not geriatric mother (45yof when I gave birth)… But from a Jurassic mother! I now joke around that my eggs were from the Jurassic Dinosaur Period! Was told by my first IVF Dr… that I would NEVER have babies.. but nevertheless here he is playing on the ground… life finds away.❤️❤️❤️
