Hello all,
I'm looking for a pep talk and some hope, please. My husband and I have been trying for 5 years with multiple IUIs, 3 IVF, 1 FET, one miscarriage. This next round is our last chance as we are out of $$$. We have unexplained infertility, I'm 37.
IVF 1 - cancelled due to clinical error
IVF 2 - 14 eggs collected, 2 fert, one transferred, one frozen.
FET - 1 transferred - it worked! miscarried at 6 weeks.
IVF (ICSI) 3 - 5 eggs collected, 4 fert, 2 embryos transferred, none to freeze.
This round we are pulling out all the stops! I'm having a hysteroscopy to see if all looks good inside, and then our doc ordered a bunch of further blood tests for "multiple miscarriages" to see if one of those factors may explain the lack of getting preg also. If all tests are good, we will do a final IVF round with steroids, ICSI, AH, and increased meds! I'm hopeful that these tests will find a fixable problem instead of being trapped in "unexplained" land. I'm hopeful because medically at least, we are not at the end of options.... But I'm also terrified that this last round will not work, then it will all be over. And each long-protocol round of IVF gets harder and harder physically and emotionally - and I really don't know how I'm going to get through this all again.
Any support or encouragement would be very appreciated. This journey has been so long, and so hard. I want to go into this final round ready to fight but I can barely scrape myself off the ground these days.
Thank you.
