egg collection

only 5 eggs collected today. Historically have really poor fertilisation rate (1/8 and 2/24) so chances aren’t looking good. Gutted.

Had you changed your protocol? Hang on to hope that the five eggs are of better quality and could result in your golden egg 🙏✨🫶🏻 Have a you had the sperm tests, like DNA fragmentation? xx

Thanks. Bit of a different protocol - had 2 different stims to improve numbers and quality but numbers weren’t improved and quality of eggs on the drug that was meant to improve quality last time still resulted in low number and only one to transfer. Haven’t had sperm fragmentation tests or anything

I’ll keep everything crossed for you 🤞 If you don’t get your positive outcome this time it would be worth further sperm testing. Lots of clinics focus only on the female and sometime the answer can be through the male xx
