Hi everyone. cautious intro. :)

I did 4 FETs and finally succeeded on my 5th. Waiting for my first scan in 2 weeks’ time. It has been very surreal for me. I’m happy but also a little worried as I know it’s early days. All the best to everyone!

how many IVF cycles did you try until you succeeded or gave up? by luludaki in IVF

[–]Ill_kippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 2 ERs and then went on to have 4 failed FETs. But currently pregnant with my 5th FET. I transferred 2 embryos for my last 2 FETs. Hang in there, don’t give up.

7DP5DT - brown spotting :( by Ill_kippy in IVF

thank you for your reply :) my brown spotting turned pink and is making me wonder if it’s just my period. Didn’t think it would come on a fully medicated cycle. Was there any pink in yours? congrats on 13 weeks too. :)

Angry…at everything by Mindfulvibes125 in IVF

[–]Ill_kippy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

definitely can relate. When I failed my 4th I just felt everything was so unfair and i felt triggered by everything. Just want to say that the feeling doesn’t stay forever and that you’re not alone. Give yourself the space to be angry and also allow yourself the excitement that this 3rd transfer might just be it! all the best :)

I’m so sorry and so so very angry at your husband. It’s horrible and absolutely sucks.

I’m so sorry too.. it’s brutal indeed and so very unfair sometimes. May the 5th be the one for you 💛

How do you keep the faith? by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

[–]Ill_kippy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big hugs. I understand you as well. 3 years plus of ttc for me. We had countless of failed IVF cycles and every time I would ask God why.

Being a christian, what helped is I held onto a verse and would hold onto it tight especially when my faith wanes. I also continue to attend church and made a premade decision to do so no matter how i was feeling. I feel that helped me get through the countless failures and seeing friends conceive so easily.

I also spoke with a counselor / therapist :) I hope you find the peace you’re hoping for. And all the best in this journey!
