ivf #1 failed, what to do next?

I am really sorry to read that your cycle wasn't successful for you this time. What to do next is of course up to you. Your decision is based on your economic situation (i.e., can you afford to do another cycle?) as well as your emotional health right now. I suggest that you take the needed break from treatments to give yourself the ability to grieve over the loss of this cycle. (That's what my DH and I did.) After our break, we felt ready to try again. Another factor to consider is whether or not you have some snow babies to work with. (frozen embryos) My RE stated to us that doing a transfer with frozen embies statistically have a higher success rate than fresh, for whatever reason. (He explained, but it was so technical, there just is no way I could explain back to you.)

After 15 years of ttc, numerous surgeries, a failed IVF cycle due to POF, I was truly ready to throw in the towel. But after grieving, I chose to move forward with my DH and found an egg donor (we had to use one at that point for any chance of success) and tried another IVF cycle. We not only found our success, but we now have 9 snow babies waiting for us to use in the future! So in the end, I suggest you don't give up hope. Keep trying if in your heart you want to be a mother (which obviously you do), and be kind and gentle to yourself. Going through an IVF cycle is tough emotionally, physically, and financially. I wish you the very best of luck. :)

Ohsu Ivf

I'm sorry for what you're going through. My first attempt failed as well. It's a hard thing to deal with. Try reading Nurturing Yourself Through IVF by Lynn Daley. It really helped me get over the failed attempt and prepare for the next. I really really really recommend reading it.

We made the decision to try again based on a few things. 1. Why did the first attempt fail? Our RE didn't have an answer for that. It went perfectly- we had 10 beautiful embryos and transferred 3. For whatever reason they didn't take but our RE was sure another try would be successful if we did assisted hatching(AH) (we didn't the first time). 2. Could we manage it financially- yes. We had enough money for 1 more attempt. 3. Could I handle it emotionally? I wanted to make sure we did everything we could to try to have our own child. It's such a difficult thing to go through but even so, I would've done it as many times as we could! It's what I wanted more than anything.

So we tried again. Transferred 3 perfect AH embryos (almost did 4!) and ended up pregnant with twins! They will be 18 mos on Oct 10th and they are the light of our lives. Everything we went through to have them was absolutely worth it and I'd do it all over again.

Make a follow up appt with your re. Be prepared for a lot of emotions during this. but trust me, after you talk to he/she you'll have a better idea on what to do and hopefully feel a little better. Discuss your options with him/her and then take some time to make the decision. You may want to even think about getting a second opinion if you have another RE near you.

I hope things work out for you in the future and one day you get your BFP. In the meantime, keep your head up! Good luck

Infertility can be caused by a huge number of factors: hormone imbalance, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, Anovulatory Cycles, physical blockage, inadequate hormone production, short luteal phase, lack of lutenizing hormone, high levels or prolactin, and many others.

Poor nutrition often plays a major role, as does exposure to toxins. Age plays less of a role before menopause than was originally thought. While there are many wonderful naturally minded fertility specialists out there, in many cases it is not possible for them to test for and address any of these possible underlying issues.

my aunty had ivf, her first time failed and the second worked, she now has a four year old daughter and is pregnant with her second (a little boy) and this one was with no ifv :) if you can, I would try again :)

hon you didn't do anything wrong don't blame yourself, it's just wasn't ment to be and believe me this is for the best...Go ahead and try again whenever you are physically and emotionally ready, keep your faith in god...As for your work I think you just need to rest only the first week after the transfer, that's what my doctor told me I did it twice one didn't work and the other ended up with an ectopic pregnancy and I was about to loose my life..!! that's why I'm telling you it's for your own good but sometimes we don't know it....Keep trying never give up it's worth it...
