IVF Newbie

edited January 2023 in Infertility
Hi all
My husband and I are starting IVF round 2 … our first round of IVF was unsuccessful due to not having any embryos to transfer/implant. Up until this point I would say I’ve been emotionally stable and have tried to keep “strong” as much as anyone can in this situation. I’ve tried to be realistic in our situation and not become too optimistic as I know there are so many obstacles to overcome with IVF.

I’m 34 years old and we have been trying to start our family for 3 years now. It has been a long and difficult journey, which has definitely tested my faith and strength. But I am not giving up hope. Some days are harder than others, especially the days when you receive not so good news. I’m thankful to have found this community online to help get me through some tough times & I hope to return the favor as well.

I’m hoping the 2nd round of IVF will be successful for us. Any tips or suggestions for anyone has gone through multiple rounds of IVF? It would be so appreciated ….

With lots of love
Paula

  • Hi I had 2 failed artificial insemination and 1 successful IVF.  We were lucky to have only one cycle of IVF for us to have our baby.  Very lucky since we had only 1 embryo to transfer and none to freeze.  I don't have much advice to give you except to follow your RE and ask a lot of questions, especially on what supplements you can take to improve things.  Good luck on your second round and I hope this will be your take home baby this year!
  • I highly recommend reading “it starts with the egg” by Rebecca Fett and do some preconception work before going into round 2 of an egg retrieval. We ended up doing 2 egg retrievals (1st round we ended up with 1 embryo and 2nd round we ended up with 3 embryos). We decided to stack the deck before doing the transfer due to COVID. I really believe the work we did to detox and supplement based on the recommendations by Rebecca Fett plus acupuncture helped us become successful with getting pregnant. I did the egg retrievals at 38yo and we got pregnant with our first transfer when I was 39yo. I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant. You still have plenty of time to be successful. ❤️

  • Hi, I also want to recommend reading  It start with the egg book and fertility road magazine with tons of free helpful articles by leading fertility experts. 
  • Sure, here are some tips and suggestions for those who have gone through multiple rounds of IVF:

    Focus on self-care: It's important to take care of yourself both emotionally and physically during this time. This can include things like exercise, meditation, therapy, and eating a healthy diet.

    Stay connected: Reach out to friends and family for support, and consider joining a support group for those going through IVF. You may also find it helpful to connect with others online through forums or social media groups.

    Be patient: IVF can be a long and difficult process, so it's important to be patient and understand that success may not happen right away. Try to stay positive and focus on the progress you are making.

    Communicate with your doctor: It's important to communicate openly with your fertility specialist about any concerns or questions you may have. They can help guide you through the process and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.

    Consider alternative treatments: If IVF is not successful after multiple rounds, it may be worth exploring other treatment options such as donor eggs or adoption.

    Remember that everyone's IVF journey is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Be kind to yourself and stay positive, and don't hesitate to reach out for support when you need it.

  • Dear Paula, I understand the emotional challenges you've been facing on your journey to start a family. Going through multiple rounds of IVF can be tough, but staying hopeful is crucial. Remember to communicate openly with your partner, seek support from friends and online communities, and consider counseling if needed. Stay informed about the process, and don't hesitate to ask your doctor questions. Practice self-care, manage stress, and be patient with yourself. Each round is a new opportunity, and I wish you strength, resilience, and success in your second IVF attempt. Sending you lots of love and positivity.
