Still got do test Friday. Before the ivf. They said I don't have enough egg quality. Just wondering if there anything to help while trying. Don't think do ivf journey again. To hard. 🦄🦄

Hi Conwayblue , is this your first cycle? My first was a disaster and like you got told my egg quality was poor. I have since had another cycle which was a BFN but I got better eggs after taking DHEA prior to the cycle. Now, I cant say for sure that this made a difference but its prettty much the only thing that I did differently (apart from taking aspirin for my lining). The consultant also said she couldnt be sure but to take it again as I did so much better. I am just starting cycle 3 and have been doing the same so will see what happens this time. Its hard to know whether try again and especially if you are paying, its so expensive! I believe that some people use it to try naturally too! Big hugs xx

Hi yeah is my first off cycle. Prob my last. Because of my age. 41 don't think barts hospital will fund it. So so expensive. If I had that amount off money I would prob try again. But it so hard on your emotions. Don't know if I would. I been with my partner 5 years. Never been lucky with men. When met my partner. We wanted children. Started he fine. Just me about my eggs. Just can't get it in my head. Everything was so good on off journey. They transfer 2. They said was good. I feel like I have done something wrong. This is week ment to be having my period as well. 😕😔 x

Im 40 this year so not so far behind you. I can sympathise about meeting your partner later in life as this is the same situation that Im in. I fortunatley qualify for NHS treatment but if this round doesnt work then we have a back up plan of doing DE abroad as some of the other ladies are doing on here. We just felt that if we are going to put serious cash into this then DE would hopefully give us a better chance though obviously there is no guarantees. You havent done anything wrong and it certainly isnt your fault sweetie so please dont think that. Your emotions and hormones will be flying all over the place at the moment and its hard to think straight so soon after. You need time to grieve together and separately. Plan something nice with your OH and treat yourselves, give yourself something to look forward to and once you feel more yourself you can see where your head is at!xx

Thank you. De what that. Going take a break. Decided later. If we would try naturally. Or ivf. Again. Not sure. Good luck. X🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

DE is using Donor Eggs from someone younger (better quality) to be fertilised by your partner in the same way as what has just happened in your cycle and you would have the embryos transfered to hopefully then carry the baby. If you have a look at Emu2016 and read her journey then it may help to understand, (she has lots of lovely posts, she is very witty). Its a fair thing to get your head around and not for everyone but I have a friend that did this and they are a happy little family now! Yes, take some time out for yourselves. Thanks for the luck, I need it!xx

As far as I know it takes up to three months for your eggs to be renewed and make them function in a better way.. So I'm afraid there's nothing to help in such short time you have left. . I would agree with the girls here that it might be worth considering donor eggs in the case they say the egg quality is not good enough.. The chances here should be much higher.. Anyway good luck with your current journey.. fingeers crossed for you x
