I don't usually post but I have so much suppport reading about others' experience over the last year... we had a transfer on May 18th of our last frozen embryo and was due to test tomorrow but I did a digital test this morning and it was negative. I did it early as I'm at my mum's before getting a train later to meet up with me DH and I know he'll be meeting me full of expectation and hope and I can't bear his sadness and grief. We had a miscarriage 17 weeks into what seemed like a great pregnancy earlier this year and it was a nightmare. I'm older than him and have 2 older children but so want to be able to give him a child; people are having children all around him and though he doesn't say it, I know it is a growing knot of grief within him. Because of my age I used donor eggs abroad and to start again will be financial hard/silly. I guess I just want to share and perhaps hear that there is hope as I really want to keep going but I'm a sensible, mature woman and this all seems mad... xx

Hi Jewel,

My 7th IVF attempt finally was successful (2 with own eggs, 5 with donor eggs abroad) so glad we keep plodding on...looking back now such a stressful & expensive few years especially when don’t know if ever will work.
And I eventually had twins....unbelievable after all previous attempts failed.

With this being a frozen transfer who many attempts at IVF have you had?
Where is your treatment? Have clinic tried to amend your protocol at all?
Please hang in there, it’s so hard though. Xxx

Thank you for your response ShaunTgirl that's reassuring. It's only our second attempt and both embryos were the same donor - we only had 2 embryos originally. We went to Spain and the clinic is great and have good success rates but I was disappointed that after 7 eggs and five embryos only 2 were used. Reviews of the clinic suggest it is expensive by comparison to others but I'm anxious about starting over somewhere else.
Knowing you had 7 goes before success gives me hope! Thank you xx
