My Journey so far.....

4 Replies

I had my son when i was 27. I wanted to give him a brother or sister however me and his dad seperated when he was just 4 months old. It took 8 years before i finally met my now boyfriend. Me and my boyfriend tried for a year with no success before i went to my GP. The GP referred us to fertility hospital. All tests were done and we sadly discovered my partner has zero sperm count (azoospermia). We had to wait 6 months for an appointment for sperm extraction (micro tese) and luckily they found sperm. We were made up and paid for a package of 2 rounds of ICSI at a cost of £15,000 incl meds. Well both rounds failed. First round the worst only 5 eggs collected all poor quality and only 1 fertilised and the next day disintegrated. 2nd round 6 eggs collected only 2 fertilised. They reached day 3 and were both perfect 8 cell embryos but failed to implant. Dr has recommened going to Cyprus for DE as the success rate is 80% out there but my partner wants no more. So weve made another appointment to see whether they can investigate his infertility more but doesnt sound promising. In the meantime im now 40 and time is running out fast. Anyone else in a similar position? Been through a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you xxx

Thankyou. X

I think these are spam messages from someone trying to promote treatment in Europe. They seem to have realised you can’t mention clinics by name but are still spamming to try to get us to ask which clinic in Europe by private message.
