I had two rounds of IVF and ended up getting pregnant on my own prior to starting the third round. My infertility was described as the result of "contributing" factors rather than one "cause." It is believed we corrected enough of those contributing factors (mine and his) to make pregnancy possible. I went on to have three more boys after the first one.
I wish you the best. I understand all too well how heartbreaking infertility is when you are in the throes of it.

Believe me, if I say "oh the first time rarely works and it will work next time", you will want to rip my head off. I know, I have been there. I know how devastating each negative is. I had 2 IVF's. Think of it this way, there are not many successful first tries. The first one (although a very expensive first attempt) give the RE the best view of how you respond. They can tweak it from there. My egg quality was horrid on IVF and I was a raging bitch from the meds. I did have #2 after going back to clomid and adding metformin. Does that help you? No and I know that but just know there is hope and you are NOT at the end! Hugs to you and you will get pregnant. I know you will.

I am so sorry. I haven't experienced this myself but love several people who have, and it hurts my heart.
The sweetest success story that I have witnessed recently . . . my friend has two stepchildren that she loves dearly but was struggling with infertility and desperately wanted to conceive, experience pregnancy, and have a baby with her husband. She does have a medical reproductive issue which was diagnosed after several years of attempting to conceive. Their first IVF attempt failed and they were devastated. They tried IVF again, knowing that this was their last IVF try because they were using all of the money they had saved for that purpose. A little over a year ago she gave birth to a beautiful, happy baby boy. As she was planning his first birthday party she was shocked to find out she was pregnant again - without IVF! This time they are expecting a little girl and they are over the moon.

I didn't do IVF but did deal with infertility. I'm sorry this time wasn't successful - I'm sure it hurts terribly. Good luck and best wishes for however you decide to move forward. And it is OK to grieve for this, which hopefully you already know, but just in case - I give you official "permission." Again, I'm so sorry.

We tried for 2 1/2 years before getting pg with an IUI baby. He's just turned 20 and is wonderful! I got pg on my own with DD 18 months later. She's here sassing me now, but I wouldn't change a thing! Babies are hard.

I know your pain and I'm sorry, I went through infertility myself and I know your heartbreak. Sending you love and prayers, don't give up hope, you still have time. I was 43 when I gave birth to my girl.

I was 35 but did 10 rounds of artificial insemination before getting pregnant. He is now 13. It's really hard and so disappointing but in the end it was worth it. I know many people that have been successful at 40-42 I just don't know all the details to pass on. Good luck and hope the next round is the lucky one. Did insurance pay for the attempts? Way back, when I was trying to conceive insurance did not pay anything for ivf. It didn't matter for us, we did. Not qualify. My dh failed the hampster penetration test. Do they still do that, I wonder?

Having gone through 5 years of infertility testing/ treatment, I am well familiar with the emotional roller coaster . Best wishes on the Ext attempt

I'm sorry you are going through this
I work with a girl that has been through IVF for 2 years - she had 2 or 3 failed attempts. I am happy to say she is 18 weeks PG right now with a precious little boy. I know the ups and downs as we have been through this with our sweet co-worker - she never gave up and knew she'd get PG
Good luck
