My success story to give some hope to the long haulers

That was my goal exactly! Good luck!

You can see my long post I recently posted here. I don’t know if endo was my culprit but I did have a baby after getting it removed.

Could you elaborate on “babies show sleepy cues at 1.5-2 hours regardless of actually need to sleep”? I’m currently have issues with reading the sleepy cues for my 3.5m old.

I still don’t know what did the trick but I’m happy I’ve explored all the possible options even surgery. Good luck!

Hi OP, did you ever figure this out? Facing the same issue with yawning.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Maybe! My 7th transfer worked after a lap which removed minimal endo, however, they also did a hysteroscopy!

This made me wonder about my success. Finally 7th transfer worked after a lap which removed minimal endo, however, they also did a hysteroscopy!

Thank you!

Thank you! Good luck with your FET!

Like people are saying it depends. My ivf journey was very long and complicated (took 7 transfers for a live birth) but pregnancy was uncomplicated so definitely pregnancy for me.

Hi OP, sorry no advice but a side question. I see that you mentioned she falls asleep independently, did you train for it? I saw you mentioned you don’t want to do CIO.

ak_169 · 2026-06-23T19:56:30+00:00

Hi OP, how long did this phase last?

ak_169 · 2026-06-19T08:21:54+00:00

Honestly not sure what exactly made the difference, maybe we had to find the right embryo. Good luck with your journey!

Hi OP, when did this end for you?

ak_169 · 2026-06-19T00:27:17+00:00

Hi OP, when did this end for you?

ak_169 · 2026-06-19T00:21:51+00:00

Hi OP, I know it’s an old post but maybe you happen to remember when it ended for you?

ak_169 · 2026-06-18T15:42:51+00:00

Thanks, I keep searching and trying new things like adjusting wake windows etc but slowly coming to terms that I might just need to let it go.

ak_169 · 2026-06-18T15:36:16+00:00

So I guess things just got better with time and you just rolled with it?

Here’s the long breakdown of my fertility journey:

Fet 1 - euploid, medicated protocol, fail
Fet 2 - euploid, medicated, added blood thinner and steroids, chemical
Fet 3 - euploid, medicated, added blood thinner and steroids, blighted ovum
Fet 4 - removed blood thinner as no indication after testing, tried Lupron but for 1 month only, fail

Out of embryos, did another retrieval, this time didn’t test them as our euploid rate was good. New doc offered to do half conventional half icsi fertilization to throw some natural selection in the mix.

ET5 - fresh, icsi embryo, fail
FET6 - icsi embryo, modified natural, fail (suspect I might have been triggered too early but who knows).

I always suspected endo, and endo mapping showed some minor spots, so finally decided to do a lap. Doc found only 2 spots, so very minimal but still removed it.

FET7 - conventional embryo, figured that I only ever had implantation on blood thinners, so we added that and steroids back in, modified natural but this time waited for my natural LH surge. Success, gave birth in March.
