Failed IVF

[Ginger1984]

Started bleeding 9dpt. Was on menopur. They collected 9 eggs, 8 fertilised, 3 remained on day 5 but when we went to our appt on egg collection day they said 1 was really good an A grade, the other two now weren't so had none to freeze. I'm nearly 35 years old in June does anyone know if there is a stronger drug than menopur (the next one up) which they may give you next time to hopefully make better eggs as this drug was meant to do that but didnt.

Hi Hun. What dose were you on? X

225

Maybe they will up it. They did mine. I was on that last time and now 375. They also introduced a different drug and baby aspirin too. Hopefully your clinic will review your case and make changes for next time. Good luck xx

A lot of women try supplements to try to improve egg quality.. Hopefully someone will advise but if not maybe ask in a new post xx

Hi Ginger, Tugsgirl is right. There are supplements to improve egg quality and I strongly believe in them from my own personal experience.

When I went to a private doctor to investigate our fertility issues he let me know that I had a low egg count and that although he could do nothing about it, I could improve the quality so he put me on DHEA, vitamin e, vitamin d and folic. I also took omega 3. He asked me to go take that for 3 months but he then let me continue and drop the dosage of DHEA and I took those up until my information session. I truly believe that’s what helped my side of my fertility issues and feel as though if I had have just went straight to an NHS icsi cycle then it may have failed because the quality issues were not addressed hence my previous miscarriages.
