Life of a TTC mom with IVF

It's really been a long journey of trying to conceive for 11years + . Hubby and I have done so many things IUI, IVFs all failed. And just when I thought it's over after 5days delay since my period is always accurate. My period came and very heavy too. I am really tired, We are preparing for a 4th IVF with this cycle and I just want this to work. I just wanted to say something. By the way am new here, please welcome me and pray along with me. It really exhausting.

Hey there. Can’t say I totally understand your situation coz I haven’t been in the TTC journey that long. But I do know how frustrating and miserable this process can be. The thing for me is that I’m a person who wants life to be control, but this process made me so utterly helpless. What keeps me going is the absolute faith that this miracle will eventually happen. It may take years. But my little angel is coming to me one day. I would suggest the same for you. You have to truly believe that you will become a mother and it’s a matter of time. More importantly, you have to tell yourself that every day. Remember, it just has to happen once. I can assure you that everyone I know of who has tried to conceive for years and failed multiple times in the process, has eventually found success. And let’s assume we are one of those really unfortunate and super rare outliers (0.00001%). We can always choose to adopt. In the end it’s about finding a little one to love and care for and build a family. Who cares where they come from. So even the worst case scenario isn’t that bad!!

I used to feel the same. You tried so hard following a good diet, exercise, deal with medication side effects but you also need a bit of luck. I used to think about IVF - it’s a numbers game and excuse my French but if you throw enough sh@t at the wall something eventually will stick.

My daughter was ivf number 9 and 21 months later I welcomed boy/girl twins which was IVF number 10.

Good luck

Hello.

My partner and I tried for 7 years. My daughter was ivf cycle 9 and 21 months later I gave birth to twins ivf cycle 10.

My issue was implantation failure. I did ERA which showed my transfer should be day 6 which helped me get pregnant but then I miscarried. On cable 9 and 10 I added steroids and metformin and it worked for me.

Good luck.

Please can you tell me more about adding metformin and the difference this made - and how long you were taking this for?

I have been taking it on and off but keep stopping as I keep encountering terrible gut issues which might be a side effect. I need a success story to keep me motivated to try again.
