Feeling exceptionally sad after a failed FET. We only had one eupeloid, so if we want o keep going, it’s back to square one to restart egg retrieval. I could use some words of encouragement - how are you surviving this emotionally brutal journey?

I took a trip abroad after a failed FET. Recharged. Then, started another IVF cycle. The second FET worked and the entire journey was worth it!

I’m so sorry, nobody deserves this. Wish I could offer something to help. Try to take care of yourself in whatever you decide to do, I know easier said than done.

I’m so sorry. I understand your feelings as I’ve been there myself earlier this year. So far I’ve taken a break this summer to regroup after my embryo came back aneuploid back in June. I’ve been trying to focus on improving my health and egg quality (reading It Starts With The Egg) and implementing the advice in the book. Focusing on my hobbies, work, trying to find joy. It’s hard but I’m trying. I send you a big hug and you’re not alone 💕

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back.
