How did you all move forward?

After our disaster 3rd round, our clinic have advised to try donor sperm... how awful for my husband to hear this. But he has already presumed he is the problem. I’m still not convinced it could be an egg issue too. At the moment, I can’t keep thinking about our miscarriage - our baby that we did make. I keep thinking that it might have been something I did and I can’t rid this feeling of guilt. We are going to counselling but I’m sick of feeling so shit. I wish we could just move forward and upwards. Reading your stories on here are so inspirational. Thank you all!

You seem to have the same issue as me - lots of embryos, but they arrest on Day 3.

Has your husband done a sperm fragmentation or COMET test? I would say this is the next step before donors.

So sorry for your loss, but it is absolutely nothing you did x

Absolutely nothing you did. According to nhs 1 in 4 pregnancies are miscarried. It’s so unfortunate and devastating but nobodies fault. We used a sperm donor so if you gave any questions or concerns about that then please message me xx

Hi, so sorry for your loss, I've had 2 miscarriages so we had some additional tests done. I would also recommend the sperm DNA fragmentation test to see if that's a issue. If it is you can do things to improve it, may be worth a try if your both not ready to move on to doner just yet. Good luck xx
