Closed - old IVF thread

Oh Gosh JennyMarie Im so sorry! Xxx

 

[Jennymarie]

Clinic says the doctor and embryologist will have a meeting mon morning and call us in the afternoon. We always knew it was going to be difficult, the clinic told us it was going to be a difficult ICSI.

 

[LouiseB]

Aw I'm sorry Jenny

Why did they think it was going to be a difficult ICSI? Was it failed fertilisation or did the eggs not survive the injection?

I know I'm biased but to go through everything up to this point and still not get a shot at pregnancy really is so upsetting. I'm here if you want to chat or want to talk about what the clinic tries telling you, this kind of situation is my forte.

You can PM me if you want xx

 

[Kay Kay]

Really sorry to read this Jennymarie. Hugs xxxxxxxxx

Thanks Lou, they always said it would be difficult due to quality of sperm. The sperm they injected into the eggs were all motile but three of the eggs never fertilised and one abnormally fertilised whatever that means.

I know what u mean now Lou, I've not been able to cry I just feel so numb by it all. I know at some point I will start the tears but prob once we've spoken to the doc. Just don't know what our next options will be.

 

[LouiseB]

Oh Jenny, you've got loads of options

You've got chance to get him on some serious supplements just for starters.

Then there are advanced techniques to select the best sperm... honestly, every guy has some perfect sperm floating around but if your embryologists were selecting solely on motility then i'd definitely look into IMSI or perhaps even a different clinic

My clinics have never ever suggested to me that my husbands sample was too bad to expect good results from ICSI - and although i can't remember how bad your partners sample is, my husband's is shocking.

They can work on getting better egg number from you too, which is always going to increase you odds. Only getting four eggs was always going to minimise your chances of success statistically.

Worse case scenario, you can have AOA too

I know it's a lot for you to take in, but please don't feel overwhelmed by a lack of hope because you are still in a really promising situation xx

Jennymarie-Lou seems to havd lots of good advice for you. Youcan get there honey! xx

Skeando - good Luck in the morning. Feels weird that you are exactly where I was last weekend at this time. Reckon your IUI will be this week! FX for you!

Im a bit of a novice in the 2WW if I had my IUI on Thurs does this make me 3DPO today? Ive had no symptoms at all so not sure if its worked as I expect to feel different. Im not being defeatist just trying to be realistic. When I got my BFP last Feb I remember now in retrospect that I had felt almost flu like symptoms before I tested. I was achy and really tired and im feeling all good now!!! Im thinking that my blood test day is Fri 12th which is 15DPO and they phone u at 1pm right when Im at work so thinking I might do a test the morning before or night so I dont get upset at my work with the results.

[skeando]

No 2ww for me. Produced too many follicles. About seven I think she counted. So carrying on sniffing and wait for a bleed to start again on lower dosage. Gutted.

 

[Kay Kay]

Oh skeando that's rubbish! That exact same thing happened to my friend who was getting iui ay monklands. She got her bfp on her 2nd try so don't lose heart! Hugs xxxx
