Six failed IVF cycles

Hi All,

Reaching out to this community as I am absolutely heart broken today following our sixth BFN.

We had a good feeling about this cycle as it is the first one where we had a blastocyst transfer. I was on the lowest dosage of menopur I have ever been on and collected 12 eggs, only one survived to a day 5 blast.

I am now at a crossroads where I just don’t know what to do.
I am 33 and my husband is 36. Do we stay with our current clinic (care) explore ARGC who are more thorough with their tests. Or accept our fate and start exploring DE routes.

Any thoughts/personal experiences appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear this @ttcsince2017 I'm with Create Birmingham too, mainly seeing Dr Datta too.

What protocol were you on this time, are you due a review meeting soon? Sending love, this is such a tough road ❤️ xx

Yes I mainly saw Dr Datta too.
I was on a natural modified, used leterozole for 5days then cetrotide and 150 bemfola. I have never used bemfola before.

Sat here blaming myself because the past few rounds of IVF, even though they all failed I actually enjoyed the journey. This time I found myself anxious, angry and stressed throughout. So not sure if that’s caused the poor outcome.

I am waiting on a review meeting to be scheduled x

I hope you're not waiting too long for your review, I've found they've got me in quickly.

This isn't your fault ❤️ hopefully the clinic has an insight into what is going on. The way your felt won't have affected this round's outcome, try not to blame yourself xx

Hi All,

I am getting quite worked up with Create and Dr Datta.
I thought signing up to a three cycle package would mean they have a recipe of ideas they could call upon each cycle. So far it just seems like a scam.

He was waiting to discuss my case at the MDT meeting. They got timed out and didn’t get round to my file.
This is the third meeting they have held since my failed cycle.
I have been asked to postpone the second cycle by a month as he didn’t have a protocol for me.

I still do not feel like they know what they should change next and I am just getting frustrated with them Sad
