Anyone doing a second round of ivf in 2026. Im doing ivf next year abroad. Our second round and I could do with someone to talk to about it. I dont have any friends , and its a lonely experience. My husband is being very supportive, but it doesn't change the feelings. I want to be a mum so badly. He has a blocked sperm duct and his surgery didnt work to unblock it. We're doing everything we can. It would be nice to feel like I have someone to talk to about it x

Hi! It definitely is a lonely experience and these boards can be a great way to start up conversation and make it a little less lonely. In February il be doing my 3rd round but 4th transfer. I do have children most of them noe are teens and young adults. Im 40 and finding having another one is taking its toll and just not working for us. We recently had a miscarriage this month wh our last embryo from our second cycle . So far we have been going for about year, 6 cancelled cycles , 2 full cycles and 3 transfers with our last transfer being a miscarriage. Im also in peri menopause with symptoms swinging in full effects so the last cycle was extremely difficult and the loss took its toll. I dont really have anyone to talk too, well no one really supportive so we have let everyone know we are no longer doing any more rounds but we will do 2 more rounds in secret so to speak and if that doesnt work no one will no any better and I won't have to explain it too anyone and we can try to move forward in life like nothing happened. What month are you starting your next cycle?

Hi, you've had such a journey. It really does take its toll and its harder when you've got nobody to really offload too about it. Im 32. We tried our first round on the NHS where they transferred 2 embryos, but it failed. Everything started off really positive and then i found once it failed they didn't really care. We were trying for a 4 years before the ivf. It took 2years just for them to start trying to find what the problem was.
We're doing our second round in April abroad too. Im really hopeful, but equally trying not to get my hopes up too much again
