Bad luck

Hi I'm 40years old atm, last October(using donor sperm) we went through private ivf treatment which resulted in 6 eggs retrieved and only 1 fertilised but unfortunately after a day 3 transfer it turned out a negative pregnacy test.Today we had egg retrieval through nhs funded treatment but 0 eggs was retrieved.

Heartbroken and don't know where to go from here.

Do we try again or give it up?

I’m so sorry, what a devastating result after all the stress. Try and give yourself sometime to process and grieve before making any decisions about next steps. You must be so shocked and upset, you’ll need some proper recovery time. I hope you can take very good care of yourself - take it as easy as you can for as long as you can. In time you’ll work out what is right for you to do next but for now just rest and recover

Hi its sad to get this kind of result. I will suggest on working on building your egg quality by taking supplements like COq10, Folate, vitamin D, omega 3, viyamjn C. Then work on what you eat, exercise mildly. Try some smoothies with greens and nuts . Be hopeful and try to relax. Fingers crossed for you for tour next round.. Then invest in drinking lots of water.

Thus is what I did to improve my eff quality.. I got 9 eggs , 6 fertilised and 5 to blast. I wish you good luck. in your next one..xx

I have did all of that and lost a lot of weight before beginning that journey. I'm just so afraid of the same thing happening again

Hello, I had been in a similar situation in May. Was absolutely devastated. Did everything for that cycle but got no embryo.. I would suggest get your AMH levels tested and also your follicular count. I discovered that I had mild primary ovarian insufficiency. There are options like PRP which helps with the AMH but I am not sure if it helps with quality.

Take care and wish you luck xx

Sorry to hear that. That sounds incredibly stressful and upsetting.

Give it time before making a decision. You've only just received this bad news. Allow yourself to grieve.

Whatever you decide, know that it takes a lot of strength to carry on or move on. But moving on isn't giving up. It takes massive strength to leave the IVF process.

Wishing you luck, whatever you decide x
