Hi. I'll be doing my third round of ivf this summer. Any advice from those of you who have had successful cycles? What worked? What did you differently, if you've been through multiple cycles? What has worked for others? Any suggestions?

I'm staring IVF next month so don't have any advice but just wanted to say good luck! Hope it's 3rd time lucky for you.

it hasn't worked for me yet either.
I'm about to do ER#3 myself on my 3rd cycle of IVF also.

What has worked for me this time as far as not stressing too much was Reiki.
Also, I have concentrated a lot more on staying calm and not stressing, that has helped me over all and even though this cycle has taken almost a week longer, the time has flown by nicely.

Wishing you the best of luck with your 3rd cycle.
Xx

Thank you, MichaDe and mamijo for your responses. Good luck with your ER Mamie. I'm going to try fertility yoga.

Donor egg is what worked for me, but I did my IVF cycles later than most, I did 4 cycles when I was 42 (with my own eggs) and then the DE cycle that worked when I was 43.

Really hoping it works for you this time.

I found mediation helpful (I found a CD on Amazon for mediation during IVF). It was wonderful in keeping me calm and positive.

Also I switched from Repronex to Menopur.

The other thing I did was since I often feel sick during stimulation I made sure I ate as healthily as possible with extra protein starting about 30 days prior to start. I did gentile exercise (yoga/stretching/walking) every day too.

I don't know if any of this will help you, but I really hope that whatever you do this time that it works for you.
