Long-time lurker, first-time caller.
I (32F) started the IVF process last year. I am in a same-sex relationship with my wife (33F), and we opted to go straight for IVF, but I have no known fertility issues. We decided to do reciprocal IVF using my wife's eggs and donor sperm from a sperm bank. The sperm donor has confirmed live births. We did PGTA testing and ended up with 7 euploids, all well-graded (for what it's worth).
We've now done two cycles, and my lining and bloodwork looked great, but I got big fat negatives both times. I did a modified natural FET each time with letrozole and Ovidril, plus vaginal progesterone. For the second FET, they had me take aspirin and medrol, but it didn't seem to help. I am a healthy weight, exercise regularly, don't smoke, and have no health issues.
We're about to start a medicated cycle with progesterone injections, estradiol, and medrol. The failure of the second FET really kicked the shit out of me, emotionally, and I feel so sad and hopeless going into this next one.
I think I just needed to get that out. I feel heartbroken before we've even begun. I know it's "not my fault," but I feel awful for having wasted two perfect embryos and so much of our money.
