It’s a no go after 12 days of injections

So we’ve now been told my blood test results have shown I have low hormone levels, and therefore we cannot continue on with further medication at this stage. My partner came home in bits & I’m struggling to be strong.

We’ve been told we can try again my next cycle, so that’s what we’re thinking. I think the fear of the unknown is what I’m finding difficult at the moment. So many questions that can’t be answered. Wondering if the same thing will happen again during our next try, trying not to overly stress about it, whilst wondering if all we’re doing is hurting ourselves.

it’s so horrible and a kick in the teeth when the unexpected happens along the way, the universe has a funny way of planning things out though. This cycle wasn’t meant for you but the next one just might be. Hold onto hope, you have got this far, everything is happening just how it should, even though it’s hard to see right now.

We had a big drop from follicle count to having (only) 3 fertilise, then we lost our first and never in my wildest dreams did I think we would be successful with the two left, but they are 4 and 1 right now. If the first had worked, the baby may not have been healthy or compatible with life, and we certainly wouldn’t of had my youngest little boy, and I can only imagine how quiet our house would be…

I know it’s hard to reason, but everything happens as it should. Have a sad day then make yourself pick back up, start planning for the next go, buy some little treats, a funky ice pack for injections, a pretty medication bag, read up on everything, keep your mind busy and get excited to start again

I am so sorry to hear this. I've been in exactly this position (I am 42) I know how tough it is. Please be kind to yourself. Take it easy and try not to lose hope. I know its easier said than done. I am still on this journey and determined to have some success. I wish you the best of luck with your next round of treatment. Xx

I’m so sorry, this has happened to me too and it really is shattering, especially when you’ve been doing all the right things, taking the meds etc and it feels all for nothing.

For me it’s been seemingly random between cycles, most other factors have been similar but I’ve had cancelled cycles or managed to make the occasional embryo. My FS says it can vary significantly cycle to cycle.

So try not to give up hope and remember that this result likely doesn’t mean anything about what might happen next round. Allow your time to grieve this cycle, but I usually find I cope much better when I have a new plan and can start looking forwards, so I hope you get that soon too xx
