Emma, so sorry sweetie. It is so hard. I really know what you mean about drawing the line with treatments. But I don't know, maybe I shouldn't say this, because people sometimes say this to me and I'm 37 years old (not at all young). But you are super young. My ovaries are like 100 years old, so I don't know if that's part of your challenge too, so perhaps your age isn't relevant .... Also, I hated the down reg and found antagonist much easier. As for PGD, that would be the best thing to do, from the research, I think. Our FS won't let us do it. I don't get that. I guess because we usually generate so few embryos they can't justify the resources for us.

Juniper, I also think about donor eggs/embryos. Expensive and really hard work, harder than standard IVF which is already so hard! A friend has done it and she's lived to tell the tale, with a lovely 3 year old boy. Still, with your second, you have to push a bit harder with support, I've found. Also I am interested in secondary fertility forums, and it would be great if it could be people who'd already been through extensive primary infertility, so everyone has that experience of the issue being chronic and recurring. I think those kind of health issues are the most challenging, because it's like a horrible deja vu.

Miss B, Chinese medicine is all about blood flow. Have you tried TCM? Also there is femoral artery massage thing that I did heaps before my DD was conceived. You can google it. Also, any supplements that thin blood and support circulation, eg CoQ10, Vitamin E and Fish Oil. Water. Garlic might be useful too, but I think after possible ovulation/implantation you'd avoid because it's a strong antioxidant so can promote overactive immune response. Just noting here, this is just me reading the internet. If others have heard things from proper qualified naturopaths or whatnot, I'd really love to hear. This is my "this is what I can control" mode.
