Why is IVF just not bloody working for me?

Apologies in advance, this is a complete feeling sorry for myself post but I just need to vent.

I am very lucky to have one lovely DD conceived very easily 6 years ago and despite trying (oh god how I'm sick of trying), I've never had so much of evap line on a pee stick since Sad

2 years ago we started down the IVF route as it turned out DH had a lowish count and despite 3 attempts and one frozen (which didn't bloody survive the defrostAngry)we are still at square one except 16K lighter in the pocket.

To rub salt into the open wounds 3, YES 3 good friends, 2 of which I've been the main source of support for have been through IVF and got lucky first time Envy I was surprised how hard the last announcement hit me, it was like a kick in the guts.

I feel really guilty for feeling crap when I know how lucky I already am but at the same time am so p*ssed off that we wasted so much money and have nothing to show for it.

We now hove to make the decision over if we try for one very final cycle but I just feel as though it probably isn't going to work and that I don't want to tell these friends for support in case it doesn't and I'll feel even more of a failureSadIts already so hard now to be with them as they seem to have forgotten that I'm still struggling whilst they are blooming.

On the surface everything with our treatment appears fine (including basic immunes)I just don't get why it works for some and not others. Thanks for reading the rant, think I'll make myself a Brew.... decaff of course..

I am so sorry it hasn't worked for you. This whole process is so unfair and so painful. Everyone offers advice but then someone or something just gets you.

I really hope that one of two things happens for you (and for me!!) either we get that BFP or we find a peace at only having the one (that's a long way off for me too!)

Good luck

So sorry that you've had such a rough time of it Sad. Hearing other people's news is hard...I can only remember how I felt when everyone (at least it felt like everyone) around me was pregnant before I got pregnant with my son (via ICSI). A total bloody nightmare for you.

Have you thought of changing clinics? I'm not sure where you are in the country but if you're in/near London you could try somewhere like the ARGC. It gets great press from women who've had success there when cycles elsewhere have failed. I didn't have treatment there, but I bet there's plenty of info on Fertility Friends if you want to check it out.
