Hello everyone, my name is Kim and I am new to this group. I have been trying to have a baby with my husband for 2 years now. I have had 2 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. Which one ectopic I needed to get surgically removed, so i do not have a right tube and then two months later I got pregnant and at 6 weeks they told me it was another ectopic. With my surgery they said I could have some endometriosis just on my tubes but it was hard ti tell because with that ectopic my tube was active being ruptured so i had some blood clots in my cavity. So My doctor said ivf would be my best bet. I have been through so many tests and all either come back normal or negative for blood disorders or autoaimmune disorders. I even did genetic testing with my husband to make sure we didn't have Ny of the same Gene's. Well we are seeing an infertility doctor and I already went through my egg retrieval and I got 3 eggs out of it. We did PGS testing so we knew the eggs were good quality. Well I just went through my first transfer in November and my pregnancy test came back negative. They said they were so shocked because on paper they said I should be pregnant. They were sorry it didn't work out but through the whole process they were so positive like my uterus looked great my labs were awesome so I guess I really got let know. I really was so upset. I guess I just figured that if I had good ovaries and a good uterus this would have work out since we skipped over my tubes. I did some research and I read that usually it takes a couple rounds before people are successful with ivf. After two years of being on this roller coaster my positivity has really gone down. All of my friends have babies of their own so I just feel like they really dont know what I am going through and how depressing it is. My husband has been great and so positive through this whole thing but I just feel like I have been so focused on this I just want to go into the next transfer with a clear mind and body and I'm trying to get in touch with God again and to trust that he has a plan for me but it is just hard because he let's me get pregnant but they takes it away from me every time and just dont understand why. Has anyone been through this and how are you getting through the lows because I could really use some advice.
I know how frustrating it is to not have answers, so I do hope you get them as well as find peace. You are definitely not alone. Just know that even though it is so hard, you are strong and can do this. Best to you!
