How many goes did it take you?
I found out today that my first fresh embryo transfer failed. It was my first go at IVF, following 2 failed IUIs. I luckily got 2 more blasts from the IVF which are frozen, but they weren’t amazing grades so not holding much hope right now. I’m 39.
I just feel pretty dejected and lonely today. It’s so much effort, money, and time to do this solo. I was feeling so confident in my choice but right now I really resent all this expense (pretty much all my money, which otherwise would have been for a house, has gone on this) and emotional energy. I’ve had a friend say today that the stats get better the more goes you have… But as a married person with two babies, I think she cannot comprehend how it feels to pour so much money and effort into this.
Anyway, I am sure I’ll pick myself back up - and realise it’s a privilege to have two frozen blasts - but needed to vent a bit today!
And would love to hear others’ stories about how long it took, your journeys. I’m sure I’m not really alone in this.
Edit: just adding a note to say thanks for all the lovely replies. I have so much respect for this community - you all demonstrate so much resilience. And the support everyone shows for each other is 🥹 it’s made me feel much better, thank you. Wishing you all the best for your journeys to motherhood (and beyond!).
