Dear Peter,
Sorry to trouble you but could I just throw this your way for your expert opinion.
I have had IUI/PIO failed.
I then had IVF with day 1 start on downreg. and 400 Puregon. Last FSH blood 12.1. Then got 9 eggs (I thought was good) but consultant didnt. After 24 hrs sperm had not binded/fertilised. After another 4 hrs two eggs had been, 1 failed to go any further but the other did go on to be a 2 cell, had ET day 2 but no pregnancy.
Possibly not a good embryo but was worth trying.
Then we went onto IVF/ICSI. Again same medication.
I got 8 eggs, 3 were not good. 5 injected, 4 fertilised,
2 had cleaved (WHAT DOES THIS MEAN) so no good, only 2 left 1 was grade 2-3 (average to good) 2 cell and the other grade 1-2 (ave to poor) 3 cell. ET on day 2, I asked about Asstd Hatching, they though it wasnt viable and shld be put back on day 2. This also failed.
The consultant has told us to think about stopping and my chances either way are now slim. I feel that the IVF/ICSI was our 1st try as we now know we both have a problem at least DP can be dealt with by ICSI.
Is there anything I can do (i am taking Angus Castus to try to lower FSH) to try to make egg quality better.
Should by day two (ET) the eggs have divided more than 2-3 cell. and as they havent does it mean that they really are bad eggs. Or should they be left to see if they divide anymore as this could be where problem lies.
Not sure whether to give it another go or not due to his remarks, he has said he would do another one but am not sure if that was because of the look on my face. I asked about other options i.e. different medication/starting on day 21 but everything I said he said no to.
My only other option is to think about trying another clinic or donor eggs.
Sorry to waffle on but my mind is in turmoil.
Many thanks for your patience and time.
Love
Gwyn
