starting ivf again

me and my husband had our first go at Icsi in 2018 it worked but I lost it at 9 weeks. But they could never see anything on the scan. Non of our embryos survived the thaw after that.

We did try to adopt but have been messed around by them. We have paid for Icsi now at another clinic and I am honestly petrified.

really need Hope :-( due to start end November

Our third round went so much better than the others, and I'm now pregnant and all looks very well. It can be disheartening when you're coming back to it after poor results, but that doesn't mean you won't be successful a second or third time!

Best of luck to you!

That’s so kind of you thankyou, I think what’s more upsetting is we did have two high grade embryos that didn’t survive the thaw a few years ago. And then the adoption failed,

Would you recommend having counselling before we start? Congratulations on your pregnancy :-)

That's really hard, I'm so sorry you went through all that, and then adoption not working out too. You've been through the wringer!

If you think counselling would help, go for it! I didn't do it personally but I also was very much of the opinion that if there was something that might help (in our case acupuncture, supplements, etc) then I said sign me up! Certainly can't do any harm.

Best of luck to you, hope it goes great!

Thanks for your kind wishes!

I'm sorry to read this. I understand how you feel. We underwent ICSI-IVF and had 4 failed transfers and 1 chemical pregnancy before finally having success (I gave birth to my little boy last week).

It can feel daunting and overwhelming, putting your body through it again and again. After so many disappointments, we made quite a lot of changes. I underwent extra testing and my husband began taking a bunch of extra supplements (his sperm count went from 1-3 million to 10 million before our last transfer).

It truly is difficult, but it can work.

Wishing you luck x
