Hi Krikkit - I'm sorry your first cycle was such a disappointment - but as the others have said, the first cycle is rarely successful. However, I think you are absolutely right about not being treated as a statistic. It doesn't matter what happens or works for anyone else, your ivf cycles are about YOU. And if your FS doesn't seem to grasp this, I suggest finding a new one. I have felt in the past that they have this tree of protocols they put people through depending on age/fertility issue/etc. and that they don't stop and think about what has been going on with YOU in particular. We all deserve (and are paying for) better than this.

All that being said, you are indeed young - which I think gives you the advantage of having the time to make these discoveries. I wish that they didn't have to be learned, but I think more often than not, while going through this journey you learn things that had you known at Day 1, you would have done things differently. Those with more time to spare age-wise (unlike myself) at least can employ the learnings before age is also working against you.

So, I think you should ask a lot of questions about the treatments you have researched and make them provide answers based on YOUR results.

Good Luck - I hope Cycle #2 is your lucky one.
