IVF - When to Try?

Updated on December 22, 2017
L.N. asks from Richmond, TX

Has anyone had more success in doing IVF in the summer / winter/ spring months? Or have any of you heard of when would be the best time to try IVF for a 2nd time? My first cycle was in Aug last year & my egg quality wasn't that great. Read yesterday on a fertility web site that the summer months are better than any other month & just wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks.

What can I do next?

Do you mean for a second time after an unsuccessful first time? I had a bad batch of eggs the first time, and it didn't work (starting in November). We started with the very next cycle, in March. The second time has been successful. I don't know any of your particulars, but I have never heard that the season matters.

Hii,
I don't think so it matters in the case of IVF. My sister undergoes IVF in April, it didn't work out .Then she got her second cycle in September and she gets pregnant.When she went to her expert doctor for that treatment, they told her that there is no particular season for this, You can get that treatment when you are prepared mentally, emotionally or physically. I also go through many forums and I never heard that particular time matters for that treatment.So if you are ready, you should go for it.
Good luck

I had an incomplete cycle ( I developed OHSS) in early summer/June. I hjad an unsuccessful FET in early fall/September. Then I decided to take a break for the winter and had a successful FET in early spring/March. I also chose to undergo acupuncture for fertility. So if it was due to spring signifying beginning or giving my body the extra rest or even the acupuncture I am not sure. Best of luck to you, I know what a rollercoaster of emotions you must be having.

I had mine done in Febraury and was lucky to have it work on the first try. I don't know that the season really matters unless you are trying to have your child in a certain season. I think it all depends on how your body responds to everything.

i don't think it matters when you do it. i did mine in october, and it worked with the first try. i think for implementation my doctor had said i know this is going beyond what's needed but to stay lying down for 48 hours, i did.
so whenever you're ready emotionally i think you should do it.
good luck

I would try acupuncture along with your ivf bc it statistically has been proven to increase your chances.
