Back to back IVF

Hello

I have low AMH and was just wondering if anyone knows whether having a few months breaks between full rounds of IVF or back to back rounds are better?

Recently had a failed round with one embryo and worried having a break is a bad idea.

Thank you

Hi.
I did back to back and only had about 3-4 month break in between ivfs and embryo transfer over 5 years.
I don’t think it would make a difference having a break and it would probably do you good to have a break mentally and physically as it can be so gruelling.
When I did ivf I was on progesterone injections, progesterone pessaries, oestrogen tablets,Q10 tablets,folic acid and pregnacare.
I still had many failed embryo transfers and miscarriages and my ivf was back to back only had a break because i was advised to after miscarriages.
So going back to back can still end like this.

I ended up doing a test nhs don’t cover it so you have to pay for it yourself £200 or £300 can’t remember how much it was either or but what it does is to see if you have a blood disorder that can cause miscarriages and failed embryo transfers.
After I had this test done I started on blood thinner injections I had one failed embryo transfer using them and the second time I had an embryo transfer on

Blood thinners I fell pregnant with twins and lost one but ended up with a baby.

I would highly recommend getting the test done if you have the money as k wish I did it sooner. x

Thank you so much for your reply. Who did you have the test with? I assumed the embryo transferred failed as the embryo was abnormal although highly graded.

I did it with my fertility clinic, care fertility.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
