Advice please

Hi ladies

We are going to see our consultant on tuesday to discuss my BFN in May. This was our second attempt. The last cycle we did ICSI because of low fertilisation rate and was stimmed longer at maximum dose. We had the same response as with IVF which has got me wondering about the quality of my eggs(this has been raised before) I have tried to find out info on the net without much luck about this. I do have a high FSH but was told that this was due to reduced quantity, not quality(have one ovary). Has anyone/know of any procedures/clinics that actually test egg quality, besides blood test.

I have asked before at my clinic but have been fobbed off. We are considering changing clinics. I don't want to keep putting ourselves through all the emotional stress with other cycles if we don't at least have a fighting chance.

To add insult to injury I received a letter this week asking me if i still want to keep my one frozen embie. I don't know what to do . They will not do FET with one and realistically if last cycles dictate future ones there will be no-more "spare" embies to join it. It's something I know we have to think about but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Any advice on the egg matter would be greatly appreciated.

Clair,

I'm so sorry your cycles didn't take, I have had 3 failures so far and i'm not giving up yet... Please don't give up.....

If you are not happy with the clinic you go to, then i would move to a different.

I have never heard of a clinic refusing to transfer just 1 FE, i know you have the risk of it not surviving the thawing, but it should be your decision to do it or not. You are paying for this, so you make all the decisions, they are there to advise.

There is a procedure called PGD, that they can do to test the genetics and make sure they are healthy. I would ask about that...

Good luck with whatever you decide to do, i hope everything works out for you.

Take Care

One ovary is usually not a big problem as long as the FSH is low. You may have slightly reduced chances compared to one with two ovaries, but there are potential advantages as well on the endocrinology side.

Hi Clair, im so sorry your having such a bad time, i wanted to ask you why would your clinic freeze a single embie if they had a policy that they wouldnt transfere a singleton??? im sure they charged you for freezing it... can you transfere your embie to another clinic that would at least give your little one a chance?... i know at a recent appointment at my clinic i saw a lady bring her frozen embies into my clinic was fasinating she was carrying this tank looked like an old fashiond milk carry thing... i hope you manage to get the result you need
