Not pregnant... again.

[showersandsun]

I have had 2 rounds of IVF and now 3 rounds of IUI with donor sperm and just found out I am not pregnant. Been trying since 2019.

I don't know how much longer I can go on with this.

I'm told I have no fertiity issues and using donor sperm should work (it's male factor for us). The plan was to go straight onto cycle 4 in December, but it just feels like we are flogging a dead horse.

My mental health is shot, I'm so depressed, my husband is in his mid 40's and time is not on our side.

Anyone else?

I'm mid-30's by the way, if that feels relevant. Pretty healthy, shouldn't be having problems 😞

Hello, @showersandsun
I totally get you. Have been trying since september 2020 with no luck. I have had 3 IUI's and 2 full IVF cycles (8 transfers). Never been pregnant, not a single BFP. All tests are good, have little issue with thyroids (but it is treated), so really no explanation why I can't get pregnant. I am about to start my 3rd cycle, this time Dr. will change my protocol. Not very hopeful but not ready to give up. I'm probably the same age as you.
Be strong, dear! Infertility sucks...

Sorry to hear of your horrible times both of you.
Not saying it would be the answer but might be worth looking at the ERA threads on here, endometrial receptivity, to see if timing of transfers might need to be tweaked (guessing that embryos were tested in the case of doing 8 transfers).

It's so hard, I have seen (and tried) so many suggestions and I honestly think there are so many variables that in most case you can't be sure what has worked, but when it's so all-consuming anyway it feels like you might as well throw everything at it and feel you tried what you could.
