Good Afternoon, my wife and I have now been through 3 unsuccessful cycles of ICSI and on the last 2 occasions we were told that the embryo was AA grade. We have to wait over a month for our consultation. Is there any further testing that can be done?

Hi there, I was on my clinics lowest ever does of stimulants due to PCOS/high AMH. Still had 80 eggs collected, 26 mature, 9 fertilised and 4 embryos. Do you have any advice on what could have gone wrong here for there to be such a low fertilisation rate?

We have just done our first round of IVF. I had no idea what it would be like but assumed the experts would be able to help with my partners issue of low sperm count but he didn’t have to do anything. Surely it makes sense to help with the underlying issue

Hi Natasha, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't feel that your clinic answered your questions with regards to your partner's sperm count. We understand your frustration, and hope you are doing okay?

Sorry, longer post cming up! I know that it will always be a personal choice but.....we're having some further testing following failed implantations. We already know that I have pcos and endo, my husbands sperm has moderate dna damage and other issues. I haven't responded very well to short protocol on high stims and classed as reduced ovarian reserve from 3 cycles, 2 transferable embryos which failed from over 30 eggs 19 fertilised ebryos, 4 years total ttc. Sperm donor has been mentioned as an option as well as different approach to stimulation for me with new clinic. Sometimes I think I've had enough of the rollercoaster, the drugs, after effects and the whole journey and we just go for all donor. Other times I think one more try with different clinic with my eggs and possibly donor sperm; hubby happy either way. I know well need counselling for donor but wed still have to make thaat decision. I don't want to regret not haaving done something but then the cost will be so much higher wirh my eggs then possibly all donor after. I don't want to have spent so much and it not work, we dont have unlimited finances and I know we will love any child whether related or not. I just can't understand why my brain is sticking on this issue. Does anyone have any advice or is/has dealt with this issue?

I am on my 3rd FET, I have kept a short diary about my symptoms and what’s been happening day to day. For anyone that been through IVF or FET have their symptoms been identical between a positive and negative result in the 2ww?
14/8/2023
14/8/2023
Hi Dee, for me 1st cycle resulted in pregnancy and had lot of symptoms, unfortunately it resulted in chemical pregnancy. Second time I had just usual PMS/progesterone symptoms and even before doing test I knew it was going to be negative which it was. But I have lot of friends who have 2 children and said both pregnancies were so different. I think with IVF it’s so easy to over analyse everything. I think 3rd time around I will just keep myself busy 😌 I wish you lots and lots of luck and hope this round will be successful for you.
15/8/2023
Hi Hela, thanks for your reply :) Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. It's funny how you can have a feeling about these things in advance, I am trying not to think about it too much, but I did keep a diary of my last 2 rounds and keep comparing symptoms. I think I am a little more relaxed this time around but keep wondering if what I am feeling is the drugs or symptoms. Everyone online seems to have different symptoms and some people nothing at all! x Thanks for your kind words, xx Dee

How thorough are the CCG checks once you send off your IVF application? My GP has ticked and sent it off and said yes to all the right questions. However, I'm the right BMI, but I have just not been it for 6 months. Will they check through my records? Has

Am an looking for a cheaper IVF here in the UK. The last one we went £7500 which is too much for us.

The London Women’s Clinic do a few different options that are cheaper, but you have to be under 35.

Is it normal to only have a blood test for progesterone levels on transfer day? I had my transfer cancelled because my lining deteriorated which I think was likely because my progesterone was 181.

How are you Ann? My husband and I thought to start our 3rd cycle this summer as well, but his DNA fragmentation test came worst than in February, despite all of the changes and new vitamins. So, we are not doing it at the end.

Thank you Sophie and Ngarcia. The journey can be so emotional. I am having no expectations but I know we will all succeed with our goals of getting pregnant. I think IVF is all about timing. You get so hooked up on what you should do and not do and that in it self is stressful. Will keep you posted and it’s lovely to be on this platform, with likeminded people.
