IVF Didn't Work. (Why We Quit Fertility Treatments)

[@MM-jw3cd]

Hugs! You’re not alone! I hate it when people say “why don’t you just adopt”, like it’s just an easy answer to all of the infertility nightmare. People have no idea what going through infertility is like.

[@marie-evepare641]

Thank you. I know for you it has been 6 years but I'm in your position today. I received the confirmation it didn't work yesterday and searched story to feel less alone. THANK YOU!

[@chantal9603]

I'm 32 and I have the same condition, I was diagnosed at 28 and I did ivf, same thing happened to me that happened to you. I only grew one follicle to 18 and another to 5. I did egg collection and there was no egg. We took a break and will try it again after a year. I suggest you read the book "it starts with the egg" it change your life. Stay strong . It's not easy. I'm 5 years trying

[@krystalinthecity4563]

Thank you for telling your story and struggles. It’s so hard to watch these, I just want to go through the screen and hug you. :( keeping you and Solomon in my prayers. Xo

[@Kim48127]

Happy to see a video from you but I of course wish it were under better circumstances. I'm so sorry this is happening to you guys but just know that you are not alone in this and you have all of our support and prayers. Thank you for opening up your life to us and spreading the word to hopefully make other women that see this not feel alone. Just know that whatever happens with this journey, there are still better days to come and you will still make great parents to a lucky child some day. Sending my prayers and positive energy your way ❤

[@MeteoricMarlin]

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. My sister struggled with fertility for years and she finally was able to have a baby this year at 42! So don’t lose hope, it may be difficult but trust your doctors and trust your body. I really think this can happen for you guys.

Infertility sucks. I went through it so I feel for you. I am so sorry you are going through this. *HUGS* Miracles can happen. Stay strong.

[@pureeval]

IVF is such a difficult, confusing journey, and it can break your heart over and over again. I'm so sorry you're going through these challenges, especially at your age. I hope you don't mind some unsolicited advice from someone who has been through IVF. It sounds like you have a dedicated fertility doctor who you trust, which is wonderful. But please be aware that each doctor uses different protocols and takes different approaches to infertility. It may be worth meeting with another fertility doctor, especially one who has had success with your specific infertility issue, to see if they'd recommend another approach or drug combo. Just so you know you've exhausted the possibilities. And if you haven't seen a naturopath already to address your autoimmune issues, their holistic approach can be a wonderful complement to western medicine. Finally, have you looked at the fertility forums on inspire.com (in partnership with the National Infertility Association)? There's one called Finding a Resolution for Infertility, and when I searched, there were hundreds of posts about premature ovarian failure, so maybe you could find helpful information there. I found that website a valuable resource when I was going through IVF. I wish you all the best, and I hope you find a clear, happy path forward. Best, Eva

Miracles happen. Praying for you. Keep strong!

[@ajnasu5099]

Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Tarbbatigan Complete Unit Tip (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to get pregnant naturally minus the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.

[@TimandCeleste]

I’m so sorry IVF hasn’t been kind to you.. This infertility journey certainly is an incredibly cruel & challenging path. I understand how frustrating & emotionally draining it is. Like you said, it leaves you feeling defeated & hopeless.. A number of my subscribers always suggest adoption or egg donors, but like you, I’m not ready to give up on your own eggs. It’s extremely overwhelming even thinking about it when you’re longing for your own eggs to work. Sending so much love, light & prayers your way. Miracles do happen & I pray yours is just around the corner 💕🙏🏼✨

[@kylieweatherman6906]

My heart breaks for you guys. While I haven't gone through IVF, I did experience a miscarriage of multiples almost 5 years ago and it was devastating. I know how upsetting it is to feel like your own body is betraying you - that it can't even perform the literal one thing it was created to do. :( Thank you for being so open about your struggles with this. Infertility and pregnancy loss can feel so isolating and lonely. However, you are NOT alone in this, and we are all cheering you and Soloman on!

[@ladystark908]

You are all in my prayers. Its heartbreaking to hear what you are going through. Stay positive and let your love for eachother help you overcome this with a positive outcome. Bless

[@Satamatos]

I'm going to sincerely pray for you every night and ask the lord to give you strength through this journey and for you to get pregnant, I love you, don't lose hope ❤

[@dayanaroslan5292]

You'll be okay Lillian, InsyaAllah. Will be praying for you guys. Stay strong 💗

[@jenjerro6657]

Thank you for sharing your story! I'm so sorry ivf didn't work. After many years of IVF treatments, we decided it's time to use donor eggs. We decided to go abroad. We chose a clinic in Eastern Europe. Prices there are much lower though success rates are much higher. Moreover, the process of finding a donor is easier there. From the very beginning, the staff was very friendly and positive. Compared to our previous experiences we felt very much at ease with them. At the clinic, you get the feeling that they really want to help you and that it is all about you and not in the first place about your money. I've got pregnant after the second cycle. I have the feeling that transferring of fresh embryos might have helped. Also, the transfer of the embryo went extremely smooth and much quicker than I experienced in a previous IVF. I read the quicker the transfer the better. Thanks to our clinic we are 7 months pregnant! Our little princess will see the world very soon!

[@angelas8239]

I'm so sorry Lillian... you are so strong. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm sure it's helpful for other women who are going through something similar. I can understand being frustrated with your body... it just seems to have a mind and agenda on its own. Stay strong, you are in my thoughts!

[@uplate6674]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm infertile myself (I had to have an ovary surgically removed due to a tumor, and at 43 I don't kid myself about how many eggs the remaining ovary can produce given my medical history). I wish you and Solomon the best no matter how you end up forming your family.

[@stephaniemckenzie3552]

I am so sorry you are going through all of this at so young and age, it really stinks! I know you are probably getting a lot of advice thrown at you as well, but I still want to put this out there for you to research. Intermittent Fasting!!! It healed me of my Hashimotos (I used to take 150 MG of armour thyroid and now I take none!!) Also my blood pressure is now normal, my interstitial cystitis symptoms are so much better so it is working on healing that as well as the lichen planopilaris on my scalp. My fibro is so much better and is being healed as well. I have only been doing 16:8 (16 hours fasting, 8 hour eating window) for almost 5 months now, it is so amazing, it is free, although I do recommend the books Delay, Don't Deny by Gin Stephens and the Complete Guide to Intermittent Fasting by Jason Fung, but you can learn a ton by watching youtube videos by Dy Ann Parham and Dr. Eric Berg. I wish you well on your healing journey!

[@semragn4691]

Your story is touching. Ttc for over 5 years’ can still feel that there is still love. As if you met just recently. But I can tell you going through infertility is a journey. It needs both of you to support each other. At no point should you start pointing fingers. Lamenting that the other person is the reason of your failure to be having children. When you go through this journey together. It will seem easy to deal with. I really thank my husband for being there for me. At times I was giving up. But kept reminding me that he loves me for who I am. And that having children is Gods plans and I should not stress about it. When I came to realize about Bio texcom clinic. We went through the procedure together. We are now proud parents and I can never trade him for anything in the world. He was my support when everything else seemed like it was not working out.

[@asmatahari5332]

I can’t wait for your next video, I feel like I could do with some information on how u pick urself up time and time again just incase I ever get to a stage where I just need a friendly reminder that everything will be ok. You’re amazing ❌⭕️❌⭕️

[@SafireThompson]

Hi Lillian, I'm so sorry to hear about your fertility struggles. One thing that might not have come to mind yet but that I've found very helpful for maintaining my health is Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It can be pricey but I was able to bring my TSH level down without changing anything in my diet and I started to see my hair grow back after dealing with hair loss for 2 years. It helped me absorb the iron in my diet better so I no longer had low iron levels, my menstrual cycles were more regular and my energy improved! If you can find a local Acupuncturist/TCM Herbalist, I'd highly recommend going in for a consultation to hear what they can do for you :) Sending love and prayers, xx

[@jenniferannfox2316]

hey Lillian, I've followed you so long. I'm sorry this is not working out for you but don't give up hope. I'm a women's health NP for 20 years. If you came to me with your issues I would almost bet that the steroids you are taking for the autoimmune disease is blocking ovulation. I've seen that alot. And while I know you need it for Addison's, I would really see a reproductive endocrinologist to work on if temporarily adjusting the steroid medication. Just FYI

[@1MissLovely1]

[@ashandblake]

I’ve been married for 13 years, and haven’t used any protection for 9 years. Still no baby, but we haven’t really pursued anything treatment or medication. But I did find out that I have PCOS. 😔 a lot of PCOS women are overweight, hairy, and suffer with acne but still get pregnant... I have none of those things, but I definitely have the infertility issue.

[@MyFreckledJourney]

I can relate so much. Such a difficult battle.

[@noreenwawuda8973]

Going through an IVF is challenging. But if you have the support of your husband or partner. Then it will not seem as hard as you think. If it is going to be your last trial. Choose the best clinic. In my years dealing with infertility. I learnt a lot. One of them is that a clinic has a lot to do with the success of a procedure. How long has the clinic been in existence? Have you checked o its reviews? How are their customers saying about the clinic? Does their patients have positive remarks concerning their services? These are among the questions that you are supposed to ask yourself. I did the same and found the best clinic. All my two procedures were a success in bio texcom. So I hope your journey will also be the same. All the best dear.

[@paurach4430]

Hi Lillian, I’m sorry about your situation I have myself going through exactly the same thing that you are going through (POF at 25) and I’ve been dealing with this for the past 6 years and still trying to find a way of getting pregnant naturally. After researching all these years I’ve found that unfortunately there’s no cure for it (depending on the reason why you have POF) so we decided it was time to get pregnant with an egg donor. it’s pretty devastating and I know exactly how you feel. I really hope they find a cure for this soon! I wish all the luck in the world!

[@altapazi4737]

We give up too everything with ivf we found very vague and we feel they just don’t know lot about the subject meaning the science can’t explain lot so we just not going to go through it again and live our life the way it’s going to be , good luck for everyone can anyone tell me why the doctors are always so excited about it !

[@punkin5160]

Honey its NOT hopeless! definitely get a second opinion....someone mentioned it could be your other meds blocking the stims. I completely understand not wanting to use a donor....dont go down that road yet...you HAVE eggs!!!! Infertility is very defeating but there is so many different levels of knowledge out there and not ONE doctor knows it all!! Keep that in mind:) Gonna start following you sweet girl!! 😘😘

[@steffikrose]

I'm so sorry... I don't know if it helps but go watch Kathryn Morgan's video on her "thyroid update major breakthrough (MTHFR gene mutation)" from about 3 weeks ago, she talks about an issue you can have concerning pregnancy so maybe there is something in there for you to try out.

[@MysticQT]

Did the follicle grow when you were taking the ovulating meds? (Not the ivf) is it safe to continue on that? Maybe that's what your body responds to.

[@PaulaOliveirabc]

stay still, girl. trust in the Lord.

[@kanwalsabir9512]

You ll be in my prayers 💖 I know two women Who were in your situation and one of these did an adoption and then she s became pregnant😊 Just like that after 7 years trying. And the second one did fertilty treatment with her husband since many years too but they were tired about that so they re stop and suddently she were pregnant! ! I wish you the same miracle 💕💕💕 sending my support !!😙

[@roscoepounds]

Thinking of you all the way from Australia.

[@tarablane4048]

I'm sorry ivf didn't work for you. I’ve been there myself. My 3rd cycle failed recently. Everything seemed to be great. Despite my age, Dr. said my eggs were great. Chances for pregnancy were so high! I guess it failed again because of my age. I'm almost 46. I really hoped it will work! I’m so shattered. I can’t believe it’s happening again. I was so sure this time we’ll get pregnant. I've heard that success rates increase with each next IVF. I thought you are more fertile after a failed cycle due to all the high amounts of drugs you've taken. I believed it was true, but… Now I'm going for mitochondrial donation. This one should work for sure. But no more IVF with own eggs...

[@TracyCampanella]

[@zummy2007]

Have you heard of injecting ovaries with PRP to stimulate them and possibly grow eggs? They are doing trials currently in San Diego. Look up Inovium. It tells you all the info there. The Greek doctor that started this procedure has had some success stories. He claims it works well with woman who are POF. You can read more about the woman doing here: www.inspire.com/groups/finding-a-resolution-for-infertility/discussion/experience-with-hugh-melnick-and-ovarian-rejuvination/

On the age of forty-four, I was able to solve my huge fertility problem using it. I was happy during my period was late. I`m organizing me for I got really glad when I did not get my menstrual cycle. I`m now preparing myself to be a mother. You can learn about this method more by getting to Google. The name is Sofia Goρazna every good wish

[@maggiebishop8273]

If you are an infertile partners, you should give a test the “Zο Fanvuko” (Google it) I tried the West prescriptions however I was only disappointed with their results. I had been able to get pregnant just after having a good diet plan and achieving planned acupuncture treatment methods for a few months. It’s a wonderful feeling seeing my year old daughter walking around the house. get much concerning this fantastic program from Google.

[@roekinn]

I'm so sorry you're going through this but I also just want to shake you. I've been there and it's so frustrating knowing there is an answer for you but most conventionally-minded americans dismiss other schools of medicine because of the manipulated reputations they carry. DUTCH testing should be on your immediate radar and a physician that will interpret the results and offer natural powerful treatment for your adrenal, cortisol, ovarian, endocrine matrix. Precision Labs can provide you a list of doctors that offer the this new gold standard of hormone testing for you. Saliva testing can't ever compare. Dutch identifies the metabolites as well which is a key component to finding answers ( the breadcrumb trail, if you will). Allopathic medicine is vastly overrated in their understanding of how these organ systems function collectively. It's not one single organ system, it's a systemic issue that must be addressed as a whole- this is why natural medicine is superior in their ability to regain proper function of these systems to the point where your Addisons symptoms recede. Because the body systems that govern those organs collectively regain their proper function and your ovaries, adrenal glands, thyroid gland etc regain their proper function because the doctors address the underlying cause of their flawed behavior which is manifesting as symptoms in your thyroid, ovaries, etc.. Natural Integrative doctors target the ROOT of the dysfunction, not simply acknowledge the symptoms and try to force correct using unnatural pharmaceuticals. The body often rejects those methods. You don't know me from Eve but I personally urge you do your due diligence and research natural treatments through sources that are not controlled my conventional medicine. Addison’s disease is associated with anti-ovarian antibodies which can reduce ovulatory function and cause premature ovarian failure in severe cases. Many of these issues can be triggered by things such as birth control which causes endocrine and reproductive complications in so many young women. Conventional doctors won't share that because that works against their own practice. Other factors include diet (major factor), toxic exposures, sustained stress levels, and more. Sources like Dr. Axe, Dr. Joseph Mercola, are good, honest intelligent uncorrupt general spearheads within the natural realm. You need a natural doctor that specializes in naturopathic immunology and the endocrine system. This article touches on the connection between Addison's and ovarian failure. This is a hint at the depth of knowledge you'll find in the naturopathic and natural integrative medicine relating to your health challenges. ndnr.com/autoimmuneallergy-medicine/addisons-disease/ ndnr.com/autoimmuneallergy-medicine/autoimmune-infertility/ draxe.com/adrenal-insufficiency/ dutchtest.com/

[@tomikamurry659]

Love up plexus products. They are amazing. It will help with your autoimmune issues. So many women have gotten pregnant after using those products. It's all natural. I was suggest the pink drink and probiotics. I sent a prayer up for you. God bless.

[@alibentz8692]

Please please please do not adopt if your knee jerk reaction is I want this to be “my” child. I’m an adoptee and I can tell you first hand how harmful that is, every time you see your adopted kid and they don’t look like you, or they don’t have your habits you’ll be reminded. Also you can afford to adopt a child if you’re doing IVF treatments you’re just wanting a fancy closed adoption from birth. But adoptions from froster care are nearly free. But again don’t adopt until you’re comfortable with the idea that they’re not your biological child.

[@MissLauraSquared]

I don't mean for this to sound crass... but do you feel that all of this happening is some sort of sign that maybe your body just isn't up for this? It's possible your body isn't allowing you to ovulate because you wouldn't be able to carry a baby to full-term. I have learned that our bodies do things for a reason and to try to push it past its capabilities can cause significant damage in the future. It's just a thought.
