Any other ideas?

[faithneeded]

Hello all, i'm new so looking forward to hearing from others.

I promised myself that I wouldn't keep looking and reading about all the stories about TTC and positive pregnancies as it was really starting to hurt. But I found this site and I felt a little hope again that maybe I could get pregnant. I am now 41 and have been TTC for 5 years, we were so lucky to have had 3 rounds of IVF, all good signs, yet nothing. I have no conclusive results regarding why I cannot get pregnant other than a possible blocked tube, which I can now feel as it hurts in ovulation. My cycle is regular, I am ovulating monthly. Yet still there are no signs. I have tried the conventional route and the alternative but still nothing but empty arms. It is brave and inspiring ladies for your stories thank you so much for sharing, it helps me keep hopeful

But I would like to know of any new ideas to improve my chances.....so far I have tried
IVF
Not eating dairy
Chorella
Royal Jelly
Mayan massage
Castor oil packs
Accupuncture
Bowden massage therapy
Special abdominal and back exercises

I am willing to have a go at anything...thanks

xx

I don't have any words of wisdom or advice I'm afraid but I'm so sorry you're having such a difficult time of it. I'm sure some other lovely ladies will be around soon to answer some of your questions xxx

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a tough time of it. I've been trying 3 years and am about to embark upon my 4th IVF cycle. This is not fun.

Did your IVF cycles give you any clue as to what might be going on? (Did you get eggs, did you make embies, etc.) If you made embies but they didn't stick, have you looked into immunes?

Hi I've also been ttc 6 yrs with several failed Ivf cycles. One thing I may try next is this implantation clinic as seems very reasonable and may throw up something to try. Where did you do your Ivf cycles?

You could try immune testing for natural killer cells etc before another ivf? Costs a LOT and the evidence is questionable, but I'm throwing everything at it...

Hi thanks ladies it's nice to hear you out there. I am a Brit married to a Czech living in Prague and the wonderful thing was that I could have 3 rounds of IVF free before I was 40. I know I was blessed and am so grateful, although it wasn't the greatest experience since it was a bit like a chicken factory....but then like I said it was some very much needed help.

I got 7 eggs each time and all fertilized, not all made it to 5 days. In total I had 4 transfers with 2 (each tiransfer) good 5 day blasts, but no implantation:((( I will look into the immunes eurochick thanks ...although not sure if you mean me, us or the embies? Natural killer cells I haven't heard of I will do a bit of research and post what I find...great thank you.
