Hello,
I've had a very tough few weeks.
I got 30 eggs at EC and was advised a freeze-all as I was at risk of OHSS (I now have it, but mildly)
I egg-shared, so got 15 eggs for us.
Out of that 15, only 3 fertilised, and according to our embryologist, it was because the sperm was very poor quality.
I just cannot believe that out of 15 eggs, only 3 made it.
We had our 3 frozen on saturday, they were collected on friday, and we have been told the fertilisation looks good, we will be using them next month in a FET cycle.
I am feeling very very low, thinking about the fact there is only 3, and although our clinic is hopeful that we *should* get 1-2 good grade embies from it, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Because of things that happened last week with my clinic, that I cannot discuss due to legal reasons, we have decided to have a look at other clinics, and go for either ICSI (but most definatly not egg sharing) or DIUI.
The one thing is that I am not working at present due to depression, so it will be a struggle to afford ICSI without egg sharing.
Plus, I am worrying that we will only get a few embies again.
Or, we are thinking of going back to DIUI.
I had a cycle of DIUI last year, natural, and was lucky enough to fall pregnant first time. I did lose my baby, but the reason we decided to try ICSI was my hubby was really not happy using a donor.
He has shocked me by crying and crying over this, he is not the type to cry at all, and I must admit I did feel quite alone in my grief and anger over IF until this past week.
His count ranges from 0.1-3.1 mill, and is around 66% motile. I was just wondering if people could share their experiances with us, to help us make our decision?
