Where to from here?

Dear CS, I had my beta from my first IVF yesterday and it was negative. I did 2 rounds failed IUI, and now this. Waiting on my period but I also don't know where to from here. Have done a lap/hyst but a second opinion FS where I did the IVF said I have an abnormal shaped uterus so I could only do a Single embryo transfer, we have 2 frozen. But I'm so disheartened.

Hi CS... sending love and hugs your way. This journey is so tough. Have you considered AI (Artificial Insemination)? Much cheaper, less invasive.. worked for us the first time. Friend of mine had 4 failed IVFs.. took on the first AI. Whatever you decide, best wishes! And take care of yourself and your hubby - big strain on relationships.

Thanks Leana1:)

Yeah we chatted to the doc again this week. He has assured us nothing is wrong, this is all par for the course. Sigh.

I'm going to take a month off and let my body normalize. 8 months of hormones hasn't been easy on the poor body.

Then revisit our options.

I just need to "woosa" a little.

Girl I'' so very sorry to hear!! Sending you big big hugs for both of you. I would maby suggest you go back to the dr and discuss what happened and what the way forward is. If you feel that there is something wrong then maby it worth some further tests.❤️❤️

Hi Everyone. I am new to this site, really hoping for a bit of guidance and support. Received some heartbreaking news earlier this week. My 2nd IVF attempt results were negative... after my 4th blood test.

I really am asking myself - what next?

After trying naturally for 2 years, hubby and I decided enough is enough and saw a fertility specialist (FS) earlier this year. Both our checks looked good, no concerns. We started our fertility journey with IUI. 3 rounds later nothing but heartache. We moved on to IVF. Our embriologist said our results were amazing... it was the 2nd time in her career she had seen such amazing results. We were so excited! Only to discover a negative on our 2nd blood test for the first round. We were devastated. But picked ourselves up and went straight into a 2nd round of IVF.

The last week has been hell. We got a great 154 HCG count on our 1st test. 2nd test 260. They weren't happy as it needs to double so sent me for a 3rd test 2 days later. During this time I started with major cramping and spotting. 3rd test results increased to only to 265. So the doctors office asked me to go for a 4th test... that same day I started my period. I had no idea what to think, what to do other than wait... which drove us both mad!!! This morning I had news my count dropped drastically - which means I'm not pregnant. Seems like perhaps a miscarriage? Not sure?

I tried it all - stopped intense exercise, cut alcohol and caffeine, green smoothie everyday, vitamins, acupuncture - you name it I tried it!

I just don't get it. I truly believe there must be SOMETHING wrong. Something they missing? I don't know what to do. Do I get a 2nd opinion?. Do I try another round of IVF which I am so scared of... feels like I keep setting myself up for heartache. How can this be when all our results and our health are so good?

Any suggestions or thoughts welcome?
