Hi everyone, I had my egg collection yesterday and got 12 eggs. I was really happy with this as last time I got 19 and had bad OHSS so felt these numbers gave me a good chance of some good blasts and avoiding OHSS.
This morning I got the call that 10 were suitable for ICSI but only 3 fertilised.
A little bit of background we had unexplained infertility. First round results in 19 eggs and 8 5day blasts, 5 of which were frozen from normal IVF. We had 2 implantation failures so ordered more tests. Found my husband had a bacterial infection and slightly higher than average DNA fragmentation. He was given antibiotics to clear the infection and we were offered ICSI.
I responded well to new protocol this time, no discomfort and around 10 mature was exactly what my clinic was aiming for this time so it was all perfect. It was all going so well...until this morning!!
I’m trying not to be too defeated, 3 is still better than 0 but I would love to hear some success stories.
Also I don’t know if any body knows this but say all my embryos arrest by Monday would we be able to thaw out some of our frozen embryos and transfer those instead on Wednesday?? Sorry for the long post, keeping positive but totally disappointed!
