Just done pregnancy test, negative again!!! Beginning to think should I just give up and accept it is not meant to be for us. Not getting any younger and can we take going through it all again. We have had good fertilisation results and went to blastocyst this time, why o why does the embryo not implant. Such a devasting dissapointment.

Hi Mojangled, thank you for your reply, nice to hear from someone who understands. If we go for it again, we have a follow up appointment next week, I will most certainly be asking some questions, you have been most helpful. Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot. x

KarRose, you have my massive sympathy, I've been there many times and know how dreadful and heartbreaking it is. Have you had immune testing? repeat implantation failure is increasingly often found to be associated with immune issues that can make your body reject the embryo for a number of reasons. A google will give you some information or there's a massive amount on Fertility Friends here . Not all doctors believe in immune therapies for IVF, but it's growing and would be worth asking your clinic.

You could also make sure you've had a scan of your uterus to make sure there's no septum or other factor that affects the inside and could cause implantation issues.

Hang in there. It took us 4 IVFs to have our DS (with donor eggs) and we're approaching round 8 for a sibling. You'll get there. Be nice to yourself. And come on over to the Assisted Conception thread if you'd like some company. xx
