Success after 4 failed rounds of ICSI?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone can share a success story to renew my hope in this process?

I'm 34, high AMH, some MFI, have done four rounds of ICSI in the past 16 months, transferred 10 embryos and no success. I'm feeling like it's never going to happen for us. Has anyone had a similar experience and gone on to have success in round 5?

Hi, I am sorry you are having such a tough time. Has your clinic adjusted the protocol at all or stuck to the same old one? I had 2 failed ICSI cycles with 0 embryos left for the freezer with my first clinic before deciding to go elsewhere. In my first clinic, they were clearly using the same protocol for everyone regardless of their profile... I then moved to a new clinic where the consultant agreed to try out a protocol that I found online, from a clinic in the US who had had success with people with the same profile as me and boom, first ICSI resulted in my now 2 year-old son and I have 6 blastocyst in the freezer. All I am saying is it may be worth thinking of moving clinic as some are reluctant to come up with solutions. Good luck!

Your story is amazing! We are moving clinics and doctors next month for round 5, different stims, adding the growth hormone etc. Thank you so much for sharing, that’s exactly what I needed to hear! 💜

Hi!Didn't want to read and run,as i have a suggestion of sorts.Have you tested your endometrium for inflammation?There are various tests for that,but i think the most advanced is the one offered by Igenomix.
