Advice on how to pick yourself up after a failed cycle

[mouse1234567]

Hi all,
I know that IVF can take quite a few goes before it works(if it ever does!) and I feel bad asking this as I have only done one cycle-and know many of you have been through so much more and I really admire you as this is such a tough journey.

Currently going through a chemical pregnancy after first go and feeling very low.

Any words of advice or tips to pick yourself back up again? How long till you felt more yourself? The idea of starting all over again makes me panic-but of course -the idea of not doing it again makes me panic more!

@mouse1234567 I'm really sorry how things are progressing for you. I've not been in your situation as I am currently going through my first round too. However I have deliberately made immediate plans for the week after OTD knowing that our IVF may have failed and that I cannot cancel so I may find times where I am distracted. Catch up with (not pregnant/ttc) friends that live far away, we have booked a holiday in the UK and have specific day trips planned for then. As you are a teacher are you able to go away the first week of the holidays?

Mouse, the only thing keeping me going is the thought of having another go as soon as AF arrives.

Everyone is different but I like to crack on with another cycle asap. I'm only 2 weeks after a MC and I so desperately want to get on with it. All this waiting is horrible. I'm trying to focus on being healthy and doing my hobby which has suffered a bit in the last 6 months due to IVF/pregnancies/MCs.

I was successful on my fourth fresh round. There was never a reason found for it taking so long. I always needed a few months to pull myself together again - booked holidays, ate and drank what I wanted, laughed, spent time with friends and family. Talked about how sad I felt.

After doing that I felt able to plan the next steps for each new round.
Huge good luck to you, just make sure you look after yourself x

Thanks all -I really appreciate the advice. I certainly think planning my next cycle would help-hard though as I’m waiting to naturally miscarry which could take some time apparently. But yes in the mean time I’m eating well (by that I mean not healthy!!) , having the odd drink and planning an exciting trip to NYC.

Thanks everyone for your support -I am feeling a little better a few days on.

Sorry you're going through this ☹️ @mouse1234567 I remember your name from a while ago when I first started posted. Really hope you get your bfp soon xxx

Thanks you @squirrelnutkins1 I remember you too! How are you getting on? Hope ok!

Sorry sorry this has happened to you ☹️ I had a mc at 7 weeks in April 💔 my first ever bfp so I know the devastation. Here's hoping we get what we so badly want soon xxx [thanks]@mouse1234567
