8th cycle BFN, what next?

I’ve just had my 8th cycle with embryos 10 and 11 fail. I’m 10dp5dt and no glimmer of a faint line. I had my son on my third cycle and since then I’ve had a chemical and euploid miscarriage as well as several BFNs. This cycle I was on clexane, aspirin and prednisolone. I’ve got unexplained infertility. DNA frag and microbiome have come back good. Really unsure what to try next, everything is so expensive and don’t know what will actually make the difference. Has anyone had success with Chinese medicine or a fertility coach? Or is immune investigation worth it as it seems to be pretty controversial? We have no embryos left so need to do another collection. With only 1-2 embryos, is pgta a good idea? This journey is so draining and unfair, I just want it to be my turn to have success instead of heartbreak

I had success round 4 and still awaiting viability scan with this round -11. The common denominator for both was having a scratch test before transfer (after 3 fails I had ALICE/EMMA/ERA which is same as scratch, then had scratch before round 10- had a chemical & round 11 a BFP but as I say, still waiting for scan). Just thought I’d share as like you all tests normal & unexplained infertility but seems maybe the scratch helped them stick? X

Hi, I am in the same position, 7 cycles and 11 transfers and its so hard to keep going. I am doing both Chinese medicine and fertility coaching and if anything it's helped tremendously with my mindset and mental health. I would have immune investigation if you have rif as there may be an underlying issue. As for pgta I don't see the point when it's only 1 or 2 embryos, for me I just transfer and hope and pray for the best, however it can save you time and heartache. Have you tried supplements to try and improve egg quality? I wish you luck and success with your next cycle, don't lose hope xx
