After our first cycle failed in November (2 eggs, 1 mature but not fertilised) and a polyp removed last June, we've now just started a second IVF
I luckily have just 1 injection a day to do - Gonal F is not prefilled so I can mix it with Menopur. We're trying a mild IVF cycle: 150 Gonal, 150 Menopur for 12 days.
Being with low amh (0.4) at 35, chances are realistically quite low (8%) but we decided to give it another try before going to egg donation. Doc said the best I should get this time is 3 eggs... We'll hopefully collect them, fertilize with ICSI and freeze the embryos. Then we'll start another round immediately after and at the end of it we'll do PGS + transfer of the best embryo.
So yeah, it's time for me to start fighting again!
In the meantime I'll keep following your stories, lovely ladies - best of luck to us all <3

at the beginning it takes a while to follow exactly what I've been told to do but after 3 days I feel more confident. I'm sure you'll be fine too good luck!!
We found a clinic that n Czech Republic with very appealing price and very reasonable success rates and we are going for it either September or October, depending on when my job allows me to have time off.
I am very excited that I will finally get started 😊
Really interesting to hear someone with experience of natural or natural modified IVF. Wishing you all the best for the jabs and the end result too of course xx
Just read some of your posts: we’ll go for ICSI as DH has borderline motility and the clinic here in USA recommended to let him take these supplements:
Male Formula- The following supplements can help enhance male fertility. A Male Fertility blend can be found online at Coast Science and is called the Male Fertility Supplement (MFS). Vitamin D is not included in this supplement blend.
• Diet – a healthy diet with fruits (berries especially), vegetables, low red meat, and no trans fats (low saturated fats). *If you have diabetes, please discuss with your physician
• L-Citrulline – 2,000mg improves all sperm parameters
• Pycnogenol – found in pomegranate, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, dark or low sugar chocolate, green tea, fruit and vegetables (natural antioxidants) or can be consumed in supplement form ~ 40-60 mg twice daily
• Vitamin E 1000 mg- Enhances sperm binding to egg, reduced sperm DNA damage. *Check your multivitamin for Vitamin E – NO MORE THAN 1,000mg per day to be supplemented
• Zinc 15-30 mg- Improves sperm count. *Check your multivitamin
• Selenium- Improves sperm motility. *Check your multivitamin
Good luck gattonero I have similar low fertility stats to you, I'm trying a cycle in a month or so after poor results earlier this year. I'll look out for your posts a d really hope it goes great for you!! X
