Egg collection day tips
Hello everyone, just wanted to share my first IVF/
ICSI
experience so see if I can connect with someone with similar experiences… I am 36 and last year I found out I have very low egg reserve.

bit lost
Feedback was sperm count/activity was close to normal, eggs not forming normally. 2nd cycle was
ICSI
, one embryo transferred but didn’t survive and nothing frozen. 3rd cycle we were advised to use egg donation, which we took 6 months to think about (obviously an easier decision for me than my wife).

Broken but will continue
I had my egg collection yesterday after doing short protocol and
ICSI
first time on this protocol I have always done long protocol and IVF. Spoke to the Embryologist just now and out of 10 eggs collected only 1 made it still need to wait until Monday to see how far it gets.

When to give up…
In summary, I have had 2x laproscopy in the last 4yrs, a mixture of long/short/natural modified IVF/
ICSI
cycles. In 2020 I gave it my all and implemented lifestyle and nutrition changes suggested in “it starts with an egg” alongside Accupunture.

Zero Fertilisation/DOR - questions to ask at review?
I've just finished my first IVF cycle using a long protocol and
ICSI
which resulted in 3 eggs of which none fertilised and I was hoping you might be able to suggest some questions I should ask at the review meeting?

And so we go again!!
My husband and I have just received a treatment summary of our
ICSI
cycle that resulted in the birth of our little boy Jack. We are now going private in the hope of having a sibling. Does anyone have any advice on the second time round? Any ideal questions to ask?

Is 6 eggs enough?
Last time we had IVF but this time we are getting
ICSI
because it’s male factors (slightly low mobility and motility and medium DNA fragmentation.) so I’m hoping that as they are selecting the sperms the embryo rate might be higher It all just feels like a big lottery and there’s no way of knowing.

AMH wobbles ....
He has Azoospermia so just ruled out he doesn't have chromosomal abnormalities, which was a relief and now on the path towards
ICSI
. One thing I wasn't expecting was a slightly lower AMH level than average. I'm 34 years old and was advised ideally 20-25pmol/L was about right but mine was 14 pmol/L.

Marriage fallen apart 7 months pregnant - no idea what to do!
I have a 2 year old son conceived after 3 painful years of fertility treatment and I am 7 months pregnant with my second (again after
ICSI
) and my husband of 12 years has kicked my son and I out of our home and is stonewalling me, refusing to engage in any conversation with me at all.

Triggered too soon
Just had the call from clinic to update us of rate of fertilisation following egg retrieval yesterday. 15 follicles, 9 eggs collected, none fertilised via
ICSI
. The embryologist stated none of the eggs were mature.

Transfer day - help keep me positive with success stories of 3 day embryo transfers!
After my egg collection on Thursday (5 eggs retrieved) they were only able to inject 3 (we’re doing
ICSI
) and only 2 fertilised. Got a call this morning to say one had developed abnormally and so we were to come in today for a 3 day transfer.

Recurrent implantation failure test
I’ve had one early pregnancy loss from an
ICSI
cycle and two failed transfers (1 x Fresh and 1x frozen). Our consultant has suggested that I do a RIF test. I didn’t realise how expensive it was. Have you taken the test and did it help with you next cycle/s at all? Thank you x

3th cycle IVF, low reserve and poor responding
Second cycle same protocol and
ICSI
. 3 eggs collected, 2 mature, 2 fertilised. Very slow growing embryos. At day 5 they told me the transfer will be cancelled. On day 6 they called and said 1 embryo miraculously became a blastocyst overnight. Poor quality. The transfer did not result in pregnancy.

Waiting for the wait..
We're awaiting husband's kariotype blood test result before being referred for
ICSI
. We've been provisionally told that it will be at least 8 months before starting treatment if they can retrieve sperm.

Egg collection = 1 egg that didn’t survive ICSI
After our egg collection in March that yielded no eggs, this collection was really going to dictate our chances. Well the title says it all after 2 rounds we still have nothing to transfer 😭 I am 35, AMH 4.9 I had 4 follicles but again they couldn’t access my abdominal ovary. In terms of using my own

To ERA (Emma and Alice) or not to ERA?
Also used
ICSI
and IMSI to get around husbands DNA frag after 6 months of supplements and lifestyle changes - which seems to work as we had 86% fertilisation rate. So maybe just maybeee that’s all there is to find? Can an ERA be done around a semi medicated FET?

First FET - a few question:
Story so far:
ICSI
because of poor morphology. first fresh round only got one morula. Failed cycle. Second fresh round: 2 top grade blastos one put back and failed second going back on June 20th. 1. Had anyone had success with a similar experience? 2.

BFN again 😢. What now and home vs away…
I’m almost 39 and need to consider if we proceed with anymore
ICSI
cycles. I feel like I’ve lost all hope and not sure how much heartache I can continue to go through. But on the other hand I feel like my first three cycles were pointless as I never had a chance with my leaking tubes.

IVF/ICSI June/July 2022
Hello, I’m hoping to find some ladies who are currently going through IVF. I am currently going through my second round. We had our first round in 2019 and it was a success and we now a beautiful little girl and we are hoping to give her a sibling. I found that forums really helped during our first round

Repeated implantation failure - recommendations for tests, treatment and clinics?
We had a successful round of
ICSI
in April 2021, resulting in 9 good quality blastocysts. Since then we had one fresh transfer and 3 FETs (transferring 2 blastocysts, 1 and then 2 in latest transfer). None have implanted.
