Feeling worried and confused.

I received my 2nd failed ICSI result yesterday. It wasn't a shock to be honest as I started cramping and having mild discharge on Fri afternoon. My embryo had only divided to 3 cells on day 2 so I knew it was a poor quality but they transferred on day 3 anyway with warning. My test day was yesterday and just confirmed what I already knew. I only had 1 egg fertilise out of 4 collected. 2 were immature and the other one just didn't do anything. I took DHEA and ubquinol beforehand since end of Aug/Sept amongst lots of other supplements. My first round of ICSI ended in 2 eggs collected and neither fertilised. So I have poor quality and quantity. My OH has low sperm motility/morphology but it was only suggested ICSI. All the focus was obviously on me. I am at a loss now as what to do because my OH has stated that he doesn't want to go for any more treatment. There is a real wide age gap between the two of us yet we have been together for near on 8yrs. I have recently turned 35 too so I know I am running out of time. I am so stuck as to what to do now. Is there any hope to conceive naturally or will this never ever happen for me? I am stuck between giving up on becoming a mummy or splitting up with my partner, where along with that comes being totally alone and having nowhere to live. I am just really feeling it today amd wondered if anyone had any positive advice as I just don't know what to do. 😔😔😔🙁🙁 xxx

So sorry to hear your second cycle didn't work. I totally understand how you are feeling. You still have time and could potentially get pregnant naturally. Don't give yourself and your partner too much pressure. Take time to heal and talk to your partner when you both are ready to try again. X

I am so sorry to hear about your second cycle. I´m not sure what is best to do other then taking it one day at a time to begin with. You don´t need to make any big decisions while you´re still raw from all this. Sending you lots of love xx

So sorry to hear this. It's such a hard process and at times you feel like it's too much which could be where your partner is at. I would take some time to recover and reconnect with your partner before making any major decisions. Xx
