I made it through the work day, but just barely. And I came home and fell apart. I don't know how to get through this. I don't know how to keep trying. We've transferred a total of 13 embryos over 5 IVFs and all we've gotten is more and more heartache. I just don't know where to go from here. Nobody can explain why this keeps happening. I'm lost and broken and I don't know what to do. I just want to be a mom.

Oh hon, I'm so sorry...kudos for making it through the day at least, hopefully work is a little bit of a distraction. Your post makes me especially sad because we're at about the same spot and don't know what to do or how much more heartache we can bear. It's an awful place to be. ((hugs)) let me know if you ever need to talk or if I can do anything for you.
btw...I replied to your PM from the other day.
I am so sorry Kiki, I wish I had answers. Please know you and DH are in my prayers.
You will be a mom, I promise.

You are in my thoughts hon, and I am sending you lots of hugs.
I wish this wasn't happening, I hope you do reach your goal of becoming a mom. ((hugs))
I am so sorry you are going through this. ((HUGS))
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
i'm so very sorry for all that you've gone through and your loss. i have been through 5 unsuccessful IVFs, so i have a good idea what you are going through. although, i believe my inability to have success w/ IVF was due to my older age and i don't think that's the case for you.
the only thing i would do in your shoes is consider going out of town to a top clinic, if that's an option for you.
again i'm so so very sorry for your losses. sending you major (((HUGS))). you are one brave and special lady and i wish you the best.
