IVF failure :(

[Idk12345]

Hi all,
I'm nearly 30 and I've been trying to conceive for 5 years. We've had a failed ICSI treatment in March due to hubby having less than 2% morphology and low motility. We've had some progress on these factors but even then my ICSI cycles failed to implant. I'm just loosing hope watching everyone around me go on to conceive their second now.
Has anyone got any stories that can give me some hope? Really struggling and the thought of another round of ICSI is just so daunting to me :/

I'm so sorry. IVF is such a cruel process - so many hurdles and different ways to fail, the odds are so much lower than most people understand. At your age (which is young in IVF terms!) I imagine success rates are about 30% per cycle so statistically you could expect it to take a few rounds.

In terms of success stories, I conceived naturally two months after my failed round of ICSI. Everyone's journey is different and impossible to predict!

I'm so sorry, its incredibly cruel. Have you had a debrief with your clinic about changes for next time? I uses injectable progesterone after my icsi implantation failure and had sucess 2nd time.
Is your DH doing all the lifestyle changes and supplements to give it the best chance?

I'm so sorry to read this, it's an incredibly stressful process. I had IFV not ICSI which I appreciate adds another layer of difficulty. Mine worked on my 3rd cycle and I am lucky enough to have a child. Will you have another round of treatment? My understanding is that once the embryo is put back it is a matter of luck... I hope you have good luck. Take care of yourself, it's so difficult when it fails

My first round of icsi failed and my eggs were shit, I have twins from my second.

It's so hard, infertility is so painful.

Have you seen the consultant for an assessment of what didn't work?

Same for me as shieldingending above

@Idk12345 it’s very hard, and can be very lonely. Especially when you see all of the pregnancy announcements.
We had ICSI, which failed 3 times, and was then successful on our 4th transfer (3rd fresh). It can work, after failures.
Good luck for your next stage.

@Parkandride thanks for replying. Yes hubby has made so many lifestyle changes. His morphology and motility did improve and came JUST within normal parameters but the eggs were still low quality. It's just so difficult knowing there are things out of my control

@MissHoney85 thanks for replying and congrats on your lil bubbah :)

@Shieldingending @Peachesarepeach @LouiseTrees thanks for replying. Yes I do want to go for another round because I have this horrible feeling that maybe it just won't happen naturally for us. Hubby is in disagreement for now as he really struggled watching me go through it and the aftermath of the negative pregnancy test really took its toll on me. Tbh my reaction shocked me also.
When I spoke with my consultant for the debrief as to why my embryos were low grade he just said :it's nature, I can't change that'. When asked if they would be low grade again he said 'could be'.

@BeHereNowx32 thanks for that :)
