no baby...

Hi everyone...Hope all of you is ok. I am not as well cause as the title reads, we didn't succeed in getting pregnant.
I have elevated FSH, even though I am only 29.
It was the second time we had embryo transfer (the first time it was with fresh embryos, the second with the ones we froze).  We had two healthy embryos transfered each time. The second time we had a 7-cell and an 8- cell embryo transfer.
I swear to God, this time I wasn't even as stressed as I was the first time, I was lying on the sofa for 10 days only moving to go to the loo or to the fridge. I really thought that this time it would take and we would get pregnant...
We are having this month off any injections and if the FSH is within good limits we will start another cycle of IVF in October.
My question is whether there is anyone who knows if there are better success rates the second time of Ivf ot ANYTHING that may give me some hope....Please?

I need some hope to.  Found out yesterday my cycle failed.  I transferred 2 fresh 5 day embryos.  I got a BFP but it was low so now I am waiting for AF.  I have 6 more frozen.  I want to try again but  am tired of this disappointment.  I woke up this morning feeling sorry for myself but I have to snap out of it.  I am sure I will try again, but like you, I need to hear some positive success stories to build up my hope again.  This is a long journey.  Who thought it would be so hard to do what comes so easy to others.  Good luck to you and hopefully someone will post something positive about FET to lift our spirits.

I don't have any experience with FET, but I can post some words of encourgaement for you ladies...Just try and remain positive while you both wait for your blessing.  You are right, no one anticipated it would be so complicated to conceive a family.  It's just supposed to happen when you 'plan' for it...Well we are living proof that it does not always happen like that...We have to take the our situation and make the best of it, you know.  The blessings will come in due time...I'll keep you in my prayers...

xo,

Oh, Hon, I know so well that feeling....I felt such a failure...I couldn't stop crying asking God what have I done to deserve this...I know that it was wrong to react like this but that's how it came out...I do have to say though that each day I feel a little more hopeful as well as excited that I will get another chance through a different cycle and maybe this time it will be the lucky one! It's so good to know that I am not alone in this and apart from my darling husband and family there are great people like you to support me and each other... Let's just stay hopeful and positive. I am sure that when it finally happens-and it WILL happen to us- none of these will matter apart from the presence of the little angels we will be holding in our arms.All my love and support with you!!!!!

I have done 2 donor FETs with one bfn and one mc. I am going to try again in a few months. I have read a lot about how accupuncture helps raise success rate for transfer. I think next time I will give it a try, too.

I had my follow up yesterday and my RE suggested accupunture.  He siad it is really good for stress and for the uterus.  I made an appointmet to start this Friday.  I hope it helps because I am having a lot of anxiety and stress issues and I know that I need to be calm for what I am going through.  That is always easier said than done though!
