We won’t do a second round of IVF. It’s a weird feeling - I don’t really feel like I’m missing out but it’s also kinda like damn. So this is it.

Niwell, sorry to hear about your current situation. But don't lose all hope or get too discouraged.
A former supervisor of mine was told there was no way he and his wife could conceive. They adopted a toddler child with developmental issues because his wife specializes in ECE with special needs kids. I can't recall exactly but it seemed like less than 1 year later his wife got pregnant naturally, no IVF.
I'm convinced The universe works in mysterious ways.
Sometimes it seems like all the "pressure" to conceive stresses a couple completely out and makes the process worse.
Just try not to get too down on yourself. And...There's always the surrogate route as well, and plenty of babies and toddlers waiting to be adopted.
Wishing you and your wife all the best!
