New here - warning failed natural IVF cycle

swebster_3302022

My husband and I have been TTC for 21 months. Unexplained infertility. We opted to try a natural IVF cycle and I went to an acupuncturist throughout. We successfully retrieved and fertilized one egg. Unfortunately my period started the day before I was supposed to test.

I’m trying to take away a positive that we successfully made an embryo but the sadness and frustration of the loss is winning out.

Taking a break from IVF and trying with mosie for a couple months. I’m also trying to find a doctor that will do an EndomeTRIO test. It’s so frustrating trying to solve a problem when the cause can’t be determined. Open to any advice!

welcome @swebster_3302022. I understand all of what you are experiencing. And it sucks! I had one embryo and it unfortunately did not implant. I took 4 months off before I started another cycle. Which I am in right now. I again have one embyro that is being PGS tested now. I know lots of people wait between cycles for physical reasons but mine was all emotional. And I feel much more grounded than I did the first time. That being said I still felt so disappointed to not have more embryos and I cried for about 3 days. So I don’t have advice…just experience share. Wait until you feel ready to do it again. Thank you for sharing your story💜 I’m sending all the good juju that you feel strong and supported and that your baby is coming!

Thanks for sharing, I’ve been questioning my choices but it’s good to know taking a break was helpful! Sending you all the best this cycle 🤞💜
