Time for round 4.

[TooslowTooquick]

3 failed rounds across 12 months. Was close to breaking. Taken 6 months off but as each period, new baby or pregnancy announcement comes I feel desperate to try again.
We bought a heartbreak puppy and she has given me some solace.
So the question is when?
Do I rush before Christmas and face a potentially heartbroken Christmas.
Or do I focus on healing, acupuncture and rest to go again in January?

It's so difficult. We are in the thick of round 4, transfer is on 7th Oct. our first round was last December so less than 12 months.
I just needed to get on with it every time it failed (never had a bfp). It was the only way I could keep going.
Listen to your gut and follow that. X

At my last transfer I was planning on asking to book a tentative followup to start the next step in case transfer failed I was so pessimistic. Well the clinic beat me to it - embryologist called to say it was a no go, embryo failed. So I pleaded with them to get asap followup and got one for next Thursday. We've had 3 failed embryos from two cycles. It sucks royally. I'm like you - I just want to get on with it. I hate the wait. However my hubby wants to do 3 months of IUI even though IVF didn't work this time round. So no IVF until maybe April with all the waiting involved with this process. It feels like forever so I'm trying to busy myself with other stuff. That's lovely you have a lil companion now - I bet your pup is cute

Will you be able to focus on healing? Or will you be frustrated and waiting? If the latter I'd day crack on, but if you need sometime then delay. Personally for me I can't heal until I have done 4, if the 4th doesn't work I'll stop and try to accept.

I just don't know what's best. I stupidly bought an ovulation kit again. Well trying naturally for 4 years hasn't worked. But you never know, it might start working naturally now .... lol

Similar position. Three failed transfers (5 good quality eggs) from three cycles. Have some embryos to transfer after a recent lap and unsure whether to do it at the start or end of Nov. End of Nov will likely mean testing a few days before Xmas. Unsure if my body needs more healing time after the lap but I don't want an even more miserable Christmas if I get another BFN. Seeing my consultant tomorrow so hoping he can guide us. Take care xxx

Good luck with the ovulation tracking TooslowTooquick.

Hope your appointment goes well and you make a plan soon FingersXssd83 A laparoscopy sounds invasive but if it was keyhole you're surely healing quicker.

As for me, my appointment Thursday isn't at all exciting as it's just signing up for plain old IUIs (sigh). 2020 is my make it or break it year. Until then, wishing everyone a hopeful next few months of 2019. Whatever we don't accomplish despite our efforts goes down in the history books as 'did my best but wasn't meant to be'.

I guess it depends on your Christmas plans... If you'd be with people and having to put on a brave face in the event of a BFN.
My first cycle was pushed back a month as the clinic were closed some days over Christmas so I was down regging from 20th or 21st and started stims on New Year's Eve.
I didn't want to tell family about the IVF and they are a flight away do would have been complicated to stay with them and try to hide the medication in their bulging Christmas fridges!
So I didn't feel like I properly celebrated Christmas. And the bloody cycle then got cancelled in January anyway.

If you think the wait will make you feel stronger then wait. Think about if the choice was taken away from you what would piss you off more?
