Follow up appt from first IVF attempt - help/advice please

Post by Magic Magin »

Hi Ladies,

Went to see doctor for follow up after failed IVF attempt in Nov 07 (IVF #1).

We had 8 eggs of which 7 were good quality and all 7 fertilised.
My DH’s motility etc had been poor in the past but on this occasion was much better.
All 7 eggs fertilised and they were pleased with them on day 1. However on day 2 when we went for ET they had all started to disintegrate and had multi nuclei.

The doc said this was really disappointing and had no answers as to why this had happened. 3 other couples were treated on the same day and did not have the same problem so the lab conditions were ok.

They have suggested we have one more try and if the same happens again they said we should stop treatment as trying naturally would give us the same chances. I have had 2 miscarriages at 5 and 7 weeks (with DH) and so have obviously got further than this before.

Any ideas/stories from Ghost and anyone else? I am feeling bewildered and a bit lost…

Thanks ladies…
