Infertility

If you had a failed IVF

Did you move right along to another IVF or a FET, if you had frozen embryos?  Did your RE allow it or make you wait another cycle?

Yes, I'm only 7dp3dt right now and I know I could still get a positive but I know I'll be devastated if I get a negative beta and I'm a planner.  I think I'd feel better about a negative if I knew I could jump right into another cycle or at least had a plan in place.

I swear, the 2ww is going to kill me!

Re: If you had a failed IVF

  • I've never had a chance for a FET.   In terms of re-cycling, I've had to wait 1 cycle in between. 

    Good luck - hopefully you won't even need to think about it!!

     

  • I had to sit out a cycle after a failed IVF. I hope this isn't even something you have to worry about. GL!

  • After my IVF #1 BFN, w/ AF I started BCP again in preparation for my next cycle.  I did this for a few reasons:  1) our clinic's lab closes late June/early July so if I didn't cycle again right away I'd have to wait several months 2) if I waited, I'd be cycling in the middle of the summer which difficult scheduling-wise 3) my RE had no problem with my starting again right away 4) I'm on BCP for about a month so that gave me a little down/recovery time anyway.

    I went right into another cycle with my first two failed IVFs.  My clinic was fine with it - as long as I was mentally / physically okay with it.  My current clinic (switched after IVF 3) requires a cycle off.

  • I had no frozen embryos after my failed IVF cycle.  My RE made me have a natural cycle before I could start my second IVF cycle.

    We have to wait a cycle (this cycle) before we can do our FET.  Good luck to you!

    My IVF cycle was a c/p. The day of my WTF (which was CD 1) I got a Rx for BCP for my FET. My FET failed and I am already cycling for FET#2.

    Good luck!

  • We tood a break for financial reasons and emotional reasons. While on the break I found out about Share Risk programs and choose a far away clinic (Shady Grove).  Our break may have saved us $20000
  • My RE wanted me to jump back in to the game as quickly as possible.  Given the way he staggers his cycles, you can't get into his next cycle (so it somewhat auto forces a break).  If we fail again, we'll probably switch clinics and take a little time to research!

    Although our BFN was harder than the others  (and I still have days where I feel a little defeated like a few days ago), I'm realizing its not the end of the world!  You're stronger than you ever knew!

    Good luck!  Keep us posted on beta!

  • Our first IVF cycle was a BFN with no frozen embryos, so as soon as AF arrived (which was about a week or so after beta) then I was put on BCP again and ready to cycle for IVF #2.

  • We took a month off for emotional reasons. I am not sure if my RE would have required this. The month off was such a nice break from IF, I'm very glad we did it. Unfortunately we didnt have any frosties, so FET was not an option. I'm on BCPs for IVF#2 and am so much calmer this time around.

    I hope you get your BFP this time around and dont have to worry about planning future cycles!!

    Good luck!!!

  • I got a bfn on 2/27 and started again with af.

    The next FET was on 4/15...chemical pg..

    My doc said we didn't have to wait so i'm expecting FET #3 mid-June.

    I was happy with this news...since I'm racing the clock..LOL

  • I took a month off because emotionally I was not ready.  But after FET #1 failed I started FET #2 as soon as my period arrived. 

    For IVF #2 we are taking a cycle off, but only because we are doing an endometrial biopsy this cycle.
