Hi all,

Yesterday I had my 5th . We have had one success, only to miscarry at 7 weeks. That was our 2nd cycle early last year. So a further 1 full cycle and 2 FETs have not brought us an luck. I understand for some of you this may still be small compared to how many transfers you have so I'm trying not to be self indulgent - I just need advice of others in my current emotional state. My other issue is DH is reluctant to keep going without something else being tried.

Up until now the only changes to cycles were an increase in puregon with each cycle. I have been seeing an accupuncturist for almost a year. I spoke to my FS this morning and he has orderd blood tests to look at immunity and blood clotting issues which apparently can develop over time (?). TBH I don't recall these being done before (my first FS who did initial testing retired) so perhaps it may reveal something new...

I'm not ready to give up on my dream of being a Mum. I go to work each day only as something to do until I become a Mum. I'm not sure what else can be done or what questions to ask the FS about what to do next if the blood tests don't show anything new. How do I convince DH, who is a facts man, that it is just a numbers game and it is worthwhile just to keep trying as we have been (if it is?).

We have been doing down reg cycles. Do flare cycles potentially change the outcome or i it just a shorter cycle? Do you insist on changes after each cycle or a number of cycles or just like a 'traditional' conception trust that one month will be the one and it's up to nature when that is?

Thanks for listening to my whinge. I'm really struggling at the moment.
