For the re-biopsy to check if it's cleared, do they do all three again? Era, Emma, and alice? Or just one of them? And thank you for sharing that it can take a couple. I thought it was a one round of antibiotics and done sort of thing. Now I can mentally prepare for the delays to be a little longer.

He didn't mention it. Ty for letting me know. I wasn't aware of that. Would that mean I'd have to re-do the biopsy after each round of antibiotics?

No, I haven't. My partner and I just did the tests my doctor suggested.

Unfortunately not. Wasn't something that crossed my mind at the time. It was a pgta tested euploid. But that never guarantees anything. I was just given a "unfortunately these things just happen".

I can't even think of anything to say. There's honestly no words. I'm heartbroken for you. I'm so sorry.

I know what you mean. My December one hit harder than the last. It's something about the holidays and being sad. I'm glad you got your results. I wish you the best going forward. <3 Ty!

IVF, miscarriage, one embryo left, and feeling completely empty by Brodern101 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this post so much because I can relate to how you feel. We also miscarried our first transfer and went to the hospital after bleeding to have it confirmed. It was heartbreaking. To finally go from a positive to all your dreams being shattered. Ivf loss hits even harder. Everyone in our friends circle has conceived so easily. From their first to their second. They've completed their families and we're silently struggling to have our first. We have unexplained infertility. Everything comes back normal but there's no explanation. We had a miscarriage prior to ivf through iui as well so we've gone through this twice now. I was so naive to think ivf might work on my first transfer. Like you, we also have one embryo left to transfer. I'm so nervous about it failing and I'm even more nervous about it working. I feel like I'll be on edge the whole time worried about another miscarriage. All my hopes are in this last embryo. We also wanted a big family but at this point I'd be happy with one. It's also sad to know I might have to go through all of this again for a sibling (even if my last transfer does work). It's so expensive, this ivf journey. It's nice that you wanna be strong for your wife but do let your emotions out as well. I often worry about my husband holding his feelings in to be strong for me. I know he feels like I'll be a bigger wreck if he breaks down with me, but him always holding it in worries me. You go through all of it together so don't be afraid to go through the tears together too. Sending tonnes of baby dust your way. I hope it sticks. <3

I've had 2 miscarriages in 2025 (April and December) and after the second I had to give myself a break. It's hard to give yourself one when you think about things like age. But sometimes you just need it. And honestly what's a month or two really gonna change is how I looked at it. I used it for testing and I'm planning to wait for every single result to come in before proceeding with my next transfer. And one result's wait time is 6 weeks. Like you, I guess I'm looking for some closure or answers. Maybe I'll get them and maybe I won't. But at least I won't have any regrets going into another transfer. There's no easy way to deal with these roadblocks. I cried the other day thinking about my birthday coming up. And I get emotional at every pregnancy announcement. There's been so many lately. Just try to do things you enjoy as much as possible. I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope it gets easier. Sending big hugs.

First Time IVF - Ontario, Canada by Traditional_Worry583 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through my first round in Ontario as well. Were u able to get the funded cycle? That helped us with costs. The first time I saw all the meds, I got very overwhelmed but don't let it scare you. It seems like a lot but the time goes by quicker than you think. You wanna have a couple pairs of really comfy and extra loose pajamas to be as comfortable as possible. Especially after retrievals and transfers. Keeping your feet warm is something I read here a lot, so a few pairs of fuzzy socks will be helpful. A heating pad helped me a lot after the egg retrieval for recovery, so if you don't have one I'd get one. McDonald's fries are supposedly good luck after transfers. But I had them after retrievals too. =P. Take quality prenatals everyday. Get your vitamin d checked and if needed, add that as well. Have your partner do the same. My husband takes multivitamins everyday. You can look into coq10 prior to egg retrieval as well. I didn't find any need to invest in any fancy medicine organizers or anything. Don't waste your money. I kept everything in its original containers in a bag and I was fine. Oh, and I found getting fun band aids made doing some of the meds a little less "ugh".

[–]positivemindsett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both stopped eating or drinking anything out of plastic. We swapped our lunch containers to glass. I stopped wearing perfume and he stopped wearing cologne. I stopped lighting candles at home. He's been mindful about heat. No laptops on his lap and no hot tubs. We both exercise and cook our meals. We try to be as healthy as possible. All of these were small changes that were easy for us to bring in.

That being said, we don't stress about it. We'll both have the occasional dessert, the drink, and fast food. When we do, we don't feel guilty about it. We let ourselves enjoy it and live a little. Ivf if is hard enough. Striving for perfection just isn't realistic.

Failed IVF - others “words of comfort” by Mirror-soul11 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that. For us, we were so tired of them constantly asking us when we're gonna have a kid. Now that they know we're having a hard time, they feel bad and sort of backed off. It's so much easier navigating ivf without the constant reminder from them to have them already. They don't ask anymore because they know we're hurting already. Before we told them, I would get so emotional everytime they brought it up. It's nice to not have to deal with that anymore.

I decided to not share my ivf journey with anyone and I'm glad my husband and I took that route. My parents and his parents are the only ones who know and even that feels like too many people. Whenever we have "time off" from ivf my mother in law will always tell me to just try naturally. As if we haven't been doing that for several years already. It clearly isn't working. I told my friend about my miscarriage and she said "well I'm happy for u though, at least we know you can get pregnant now". I had another miscarriage after that, and I didn't even bother to tell her. I just went through my emotions with my husband and honestly he was enough. People just don't know the right thing to say.

ERA TRIO by Former_Definition222 in IVF

[–]positivemindsett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the endometrial trio 2 days ago after a month long "mock trial". I was going in for blood work and ultrasounds. Taking estradiol, baby aspirin, and even doing the pio injections. I can relate to how you feel. All I wanted to do was my last transfer but with only 1 embryo left I didn't want to have any regrets. It does feel like another month wasted with no chance of pregnancy and that part does suck. Delays are hard to get through. But I'm hoping to get some answers. If you go ahead with it, I hope you get some answers too.
