HELP NEEDED: I’m trying to find out what more is needed or is missing in supporting YOU, especially if you’ve gone through a failed IVF cycle. Can you help to fill out this survey form please?

Thank you in advance. x

After writing my last post about why I felt my implantation failure was a pregnancy loss, I realised that there are not a lot of resources or stories out there for someone who's had embaby losses. And different medical professionals will tell you different things.

I don't know how you felt after receiving the dreaded call after the 2WW, but a few words come up for me - disappointed, sad, emotional and physically drained, exhausted, numb. Physically I felt my heart dropped to depths I can’t begin to describe and tension in my jaw, hands and fingers.

And this is when you thought you've done all that you can to create the most beautiful and safe environment for your embaby to implant, and yet, NADA!

And when you go into the world wide wed, most of the support/resource/articles are catered to those who's experienced a "real" miscarriage, which is technically defined as a pregnancy loss that happens after the embryo has successfully implanted.

I've received a few heartfelt messages after that last post, acknowledging their implantation losses and embabies. And whether this is the first time, you are reading this post or not, I want to tell you that you are not alone.

So since this week is the last week of October and we are coming to completion of the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month 2023, I thought to put together a list of posts and inspiration related to losses related to embabies, implantation failures and/or failed IVF cycles.

By all means, it’s not the end of this conversation. I’ll write more and if I find related articles or posts, I will add to this resource.

If you do find any related stories or inspirations, can I make a request that you email them through to hello@sophiexsanders.com

Thank you!
