Hi everyone, this is my first post on here, so I’m not even sure I’m doing it correctly?! A little bit about us... I’m 39 and my partner is 35. I have a little boy, 13, from a previous relationship, and my partner and I have a 2 year old. For the last 18 months we’ve been trying to conceive, however, in that time we’ve had 4 miscarriages. We had some tests done and the only things that were flagged was my ticking clock (borderline levels) and that my partner has high DNA fragmentation 37%. For 4 months (since last mc) we’ve been on Zita west vitamins along with 1200mg coQ10 and we both lead healthy lifestyles. My partner runs daily, has never drank or smoked, but we’re hoping all the vitamins and the additional rest during lockdown might help. However, we’ve been trying for the last 3 months and I still haven’t fallen pregnant. The one thing I had on my side previously was that I always fell pregnant easily, so now I’m starting to panic. The doctor has said he’ll prescribe progesterone once I get a bfp, but I have a feeling we’re going to have another disappointing month. I’m due on in a week and usually have symptoms by now. I’m feeling really sad and frustrated and wonder if it’s time we move onto ICSI or similar. We had some of our tests done at lister and it looks like they’ve reopened. I just don’t know what is the beat course of action for us now and would welcome any advice you lovely lot can give.
