Dear Peter
I am in need of some advice please.
I have now had 2 failed ICSI cycles a year apart from one another.
My history is I am 32 years old and my partner is 42, he had a vasectomy 11 years ago in a previous relationship, hence why we are going through this treatment.
I was told I have a high FSH level of 9/10 for some-one of my age and near to menopause.
In my 1st cycle I was on 250iu of Puregon, (long protocol both treatments) I only had 5 follicle and 5 eggs and they all fertilised however I was told only 2 embryo's were any good, obviously this treatment failed.
A year on we decided to go again, this time my drugs was upted to 350iu (the maximum my clinic do) even though I was upted by 100iu, I had 8 follicles but again only 5 eggs and only 3 fertilised and only 2 embryo's were any good.
I was so sure it was going to work this time, I was so relaxed and positive thinking right the way through, I can't believe my test had this faint negative on there.
When speaking to the clinic yesterday I did say I know of 4 other ladies that went through this treatment the same as ourselves as their hubby's had vasectomy's and they fell pregnant after their first cycle.
I said to my clinic that maybe I need tests? perhaps there is something wrong me? I have never tried to conceive naturally, so I wouldn't know. My clinic was not interested at all, they do not investigate and just said it was due that I was a poor responder due to high FSH.
Please Peter I would be grateful for any advise you can give.
Do I need tests?
I don't know if there are other treatments I may respond to better. I am not sure where to turn and what to do next?!
There is so many other treatments I have seen, don't know what they are and not sure if I would benefit from them.
I hear about killer cells, could I have this?
Short protocols?
Assisted hatching?
Blasto?
If you could please point me in the right direction of what you think I should do next.
Do I need to go to my GP? and see what tests are available.
I don't want to spend anymore time and money until I know I am sure I have got some information that could help and maybe do some tests as to why I may not be getting pregnant.
Thank you so much for reading my post and I look forward to receiving a reply to my concerns.
Any professional advice would be most grateful.
Kind Regards
Marteen
