Thanks for all your sympathetic messages. The whole thing is a real mystery - on Puregon 8 eggs and subsequent attempts all within a year fours and two eggs.
Well, nature managed to do its trick. Eventually the one and only egg fertilised, 24 hours later (ah -hum). I was waiting the next day to find out if we had to trot in for ET, and if it managed to cleave.
Next day, the embryologist was ecstatic and said that it had caught up and was a 4 cell! When we arrived it was busy cleaving. Lots of fragmentation though.
So girls, clutching at straws again. No shouldn't say that, I, like the blackbird and wren in the garden am sitting on a late developing, feisty embryo.
I mentioned about Puregon and Gonal F to my consultant, and he had remarked how women had performed better with Puregon - and injected intramuscularly.....I also suggested that I had not been monitored properly. One scan - then oopps you must go in for EC......no blood tests either.
I reckon if this were a wholly male problem, infertility, more research would have been done. There, there, no need to be cynical now.
Karen, sorry too to hear of your amazing story as I m/c at 8 weeks. The only solace is that we managed implantation. Have you thought of changing your clinic, particularly if they have not come up with anything more suitable and just repeating the same dosages?
Tracey S. Glad that you are bloomin' and hanging in there, or hanging low, should I say. Hope you survive a sticky summer and keeping your feet up
Dagny, Thanks too for your message. I don't know about feeling low, it is all relative, and you are very close in all our hearts on this board. I am take a longer break between tmts but will 39 in July, and will be moving to Surrey, so I have been making the most of a) NHS attempt which failed and b) NHS attempt received following that .... it all had to be done in close succession. But I take your point, if only to rebuild normality into our lives.
(sorry, trying to lighten the situation!)
