ICSI - beginning of journey

[Magali13]

Hi, I am new to the IVF journey. My boyfriend has low count and I have low AMH so we are facing fertility issues from both sides. The fertility clinic recommended to go ahead with ICSI, short protocol. We have been trying to conceive our first baby for 2 years. I am 35 and he is 38. It would be great to connect with someone facing similar circumstances. Thanks x

I'm glad that you finally started your journey and I hope it will work out for you! My husband and I we both know we have a problem however we have no time to go and seek help. Let us know how it goes XX

Hi magali

Sorry about your troubles but hopefully will be sorted soon.

I have just started my journey after waiting 14 years my husband has the problem and ivf is the only way I was told for so long there’s no problem and then I attended Cambridge Bourne hall and they have been amazing.

I hope all goes well with your journey and good luck keep us posted xxx

Hi LisaMarie, nice to hear from you. 14 years... you must be so brave! How did you manage to remain strong and positive? I am glad you found someone who can help you. I am wishing you the best of luck and honestly hope it works for you both xx

Hey,

We are awaiting our follow up for our failed first icsi cycle but ours is due to hubbys sperm also.

When are you due to start treatment?

[Magali13 in reply to JB1988]

Hi JB1988, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you at first try. I would be curious to know what failed since your husband also has low sperm. Please keep going and don't give up hope.

The Doctor will be running further hormonal tests on my boyfriend so we should be good to go around April time (I hope) x

[JB1988 in reply to Magali13]

I will come and update you after our follow up. Fingers crossed for you, it seems daunting at first but it’s not so bad once you get started.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions along the way and I will do my best to help xx

Hi, sounds like your circumstances are very similar to myself and my husband’s. We were straight to ICSI also. Wishing you lots of luck with it all x
