Hi Peter
Thank you so much for offering help. No doubt you will be bombarded with questions, so I promise to be very patient for a reply!!
You will see from my profile below that we have done two cycles of IVF and despite the second one working we very sadly had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks.
My question is:-
During both IVF cycles the hospital collected 18 eggs. In both cycles we had good initial fertilisation on day 2 (12 eggs fertilised and divided into 4 on the first cycle, and 14 eggs fertilised and divided into 4 on the second cycle.) My dh's sperm count was normal on both occasions. However by day 3 in both cases only 2 embryos had continued dividing. One had divided 7 times and one 5 times. The others were all 'slow'.
Do you think it is that I only occasionally produce a good quality egg, or that my dh and I are in some way incompatible?
Is there anything we can do to improve the number of embryos that continue to divide?
Thanks very much for your time
Holly
