Hello all, I’m looking for some advice as I don’t know what to do next.
This is the overview of my infertility journey.
*1st cycle was cancelled due to the low number of follicles (only 2)
*2nd cycle (ICSI-long protocol)- 37 eggs collected, 24 injected, 19 fertilised, 3 blastocyst (3BB, 4BC, 2BC)
The first transfer was successful, however, I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. Then they transferred 2 embryos but it didn’t work.
*3rd cycle (ICSI-short protocol)-17 eggs collected, 15 injected, 12 fertilised, 2 blastocyst (2BB, 2BC) Double unsuccessful transfer.
*4th cycle (PICSI-short protocol)- 6 eggs collected, 4 injected, 3 fertilised, 1 embryo transferred on day 3 (unsuccessful), 2 remaining eggs didn’t make it to day 5
*5th cycle (PICSI-long protocol)-20 eggs collected, 14 injected, 11 fertilised, 2 blastocysts (4CC, 4BC). Unfortunately the embryos didn’t survive the thawing process.
I will be turning 40 in a few months. I have PCOS, endometriosis and adenomyosis. Our kritotypes are fine. My husband’s sperm fragmentation test came back normal (97%). All my embryo were poor quality. They always slowed down after the day 3 which indicates the male factor. However, the doctor says that due to my age and conditions the eggs are not the best quality. He says that it might be the double, unknown factor.
The doctor wants us to try a natural cycle next, however, we are not convinced. I’m losing hope. We are considering an embryo adoption. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
