Fertilisation report - natural modified IVF

[Orla9298]

Next post on this journey (sorry it’s probably getting boring now but I still want to post a whole natural modified story for low amh ladies!)

We just had the call and all 3 eggs have fertilised, now just to wait for the day 3 update!

My embryos haven’t been great quality in the last 2 rounds but with two natural pregnancies since then, and being on the high dose ubiquinol and dhea, I’m hoping these stand a chance! 🤞🏼

Fantastic news! 🤞they keep going strong xxx

[vic77]

great news..you then banking and freezing these yes?have you had fets before?I might be wrong but I think more success on here lately with fets and evidence from states suggesting better as body got less drugs etc..so hoping this is your time xx

[Orla9298 in reply to vic77]

Thank you, yes we will be banking. They only freeze and bank if they are good quality at day 3, all my embryos have been poor quality at day 3 so we just don’t know how this will go. I’ve never done an FET before, but yes it seems better for the embryo to be put in when drugs are gone. I actually only had 2 150iu stimulation injections in this whole round anyway, so hardly any drugs!! I’m going to do the ERA test too before we transfer anything, as well as wait for all the results from the miscarriage clinic.

great all sounding very positive for you..what trauma at ec tho hope you resting up xxx

[ClarabGlasgow]

Fantastic news! How long have you been on the dhea? Keep going strong embies xx

[Orla9298 in reply to ClarabGlasgow]

Actually over a year!!! Except for a couple of short two week breaks while I did the two ivfs. And I’ve actually only been taking 50mg per day for around the last 4-5 months jus due to me forgetting to take the lunchtime one xx

[vic77 in reply to ClarabGlasgow]

I think dhea was the reason our egg quality improved too. am sure of it xx

[ClarabGlasgow in reply to vic77]

Oh great ! were you on 3*25mg per day? I have it in the cupboard planning to start on day 1 of next cycle but a wee bit apprehensive. Did you get your dheas bloods checked before/during at all? X

[vic77]

Yup 3 x 25mg. No bloods taken just went for it..what I didn't know was if you still trying naturally you shouldn't take it in 2ww so best to go for three months with it and abstain or two weeks on two weeks off if you know what I mean..reason being that you shouldn't take it if pregnant xx

[precioce]

Egg collection complete for us too and we have one egg. Need to wait and see if it fertilises now. Fingers crossed for both of us!x

[Orla9298 in reply to precioce]

Ahhhh good luck!!!! 🤞🏼🍀

[precioce in reply to Orla9298]

Our egg has fertilised and we are due back for a 3 day transfer on Thursday as we only have the one to go back in. So pleased we are still going. Have you had your day 3 update yet?x

[Orla9298 in reply to precioce]

Oh that’s great news! I’m so pleased for you. No they haven’t rung with the update yet, I’m cracking up! Resisting the urge to call until 11am xx

[precioce in reply to Orla9298]

Thank you! It's awful isn't it. All you can think about., Hope you have really good news.x

[Orla9298 in reply to precioce]

I’m not hopeful, our embryos are always terrible and no idea why as I’m 33. And hubbys sperm stats are always real good. X

[precioce in reply to Orla9298]

I hear you. We have had two pregnancies through treatment that ended sadly so we definitely have a quality issue too although we always had good quality embryos at the outset - but really not very many of them at all. Positive thinking or we'd go mad.xx

Hello, I know this was a while back, but I’m on the same boat currently. Was there success with the egg?
