Hi Lisa,
I'm really sorry to hear about your failed cycles - it is so hard to cope with when you expect things to go well, and then they dont.
My DH and I started IVF due toissues - we are both in our early 30's, and as we were using ICSI I thought we would fall pg easily...but we did not. After 2 stim cycles and some frozen embies did nothing, I asked (and pushed) for further blood tests around implantation failure - at our clinic they dont normally do them until you have had 8 failed transfers and we were at 4. Well 'Bing', I came up as having antinuclear antibodies, which means that my bodies was attacking the embies and not letting them implant - hence BFN all the time! I saw another specialist, was put on asprin and heparin and at our next transfer fell pg - we are now 14wks pg.
I'm not saying that this is your problem, but what I am trying to say is that if you feel things should be working but they are not, talk to your FS and ask what other tests can be done. For me it was hard not to seem like I was being extra pushy - sometimes IVF just takes a while, but I just felt that there was something else not right.
In terms of where to go for more info re recurrent implantation failure, this thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...y-testing.html will have some info for you. Dr Gavin Sacks seems to be the guru.
Good luck and feel free to pm me if you want more details on the tests we had.
