Second round - should be better but only 2 fertilised

So we're mid way into our second round. Medication adjustment adding in Fyremadel and Menopur to the first round's Ovaleap for stims, resulted in 5 eggs. With two immature and 3 to undergo ICSI. My partners sample has always been good but on the day it was a bit low on numbers - unexplained and unexpected - so the clinic chose ICSI.

Today we've had the call that two have gone to day 3 with one being slow. So we're in exactly the same situation as the first round. Disappointed.

We were to be honest expecting better numbers, and quality due to the additional drugs. Or just better quality I guess.

I'm now on Progynova tablets and Lubion injections for the run up to transfer (previously uterogestan pessaries). With the hope that it'll implant.

Just worried and stressed as we'd hoped for better odds.

Honestly it’s so frustrating. I think it takes a minute to work out what drugs work for different people. Our first round got 3, 2 mature 1 fertilised transferred on day 3 …. BFNSecond round we got 8 I was like yay… 5 mature only 2 fertilised and none of them made it till the next morning 🤦‍♀️ No round is the same and it doesn’t always advance which is poop xxx
