TW: stillbirth
Looking for some experiences of ovulation induction for unexplained infertility.
After 3 years of unexplained infertility last year we were lucky that our 2nd round of IVF (FET) was successful. Very sadly we lost our beautiful little girl at full term. Obviously this has been completely devastating and very hard to come to terms with and I’m very sad to be back in the infertility world again on top of this heartbreaking loss. But having another child is the only thing that gives me any hope.
We have another 2 embryos in storage but they are not great quality so we are going ahead with another FET but I am very apprehensive. Losing my daughter was my greatest fear realised and now I’m terrified I’ll never be able to have children.
The reason I ask about ovulation stimulation is because I have always had lots of spotting from as early as ovulation through to my period. I’ve always been told it was not a reason for our infertility as I have confirmed ovulation from progesterone tests, however with the ivf cycle that worked I was taking a lot of progesterone, x2 pessaries and 1 injection of lubion a day, and I can’t help but feel that was why it worked. So perhaps all I need is oestrogen to thicken my lining (I have confirmed thin lining), trigger shot, and then high doses of progesterone, rather than full ivf.
I do intend on discussing with the clinic but I just wanted to hear any thoughts or experiences. I’d really like to avoid a full ivf cycle with egg collection, especially as we now know our sperm and egg quality is good.
