1:10 chance of Downs Syndrome
I'm 36 years old and currently 14wks pregnant after my second round of IVF(
ICSI
). We had a scan at 13+1 and got told everything looked fine. However, we have now had a call to say my blood tests put us at high risk for Downs Syndrome (1 in 10 chance).

Lubion from last cycle, can I use it for FET?
Hi All, I have some leftover Lubion (14 vials) from my first
ICSI
cycle in July/August 2020, and my first ever FET (natural) is coming up in a few weeks. This is my last embryo from the 2
ICSI
cycles as the others were failed fresh cycles. Do you think I can use these vials?

Timescale for periods restarting properly.
Hi there quick question about how long it has taken people’s cycle to return to normal after
Icsi
treatment? I had an unsuccessful cycle of
Icsi
last month and then had a withdrawal bleed in the same month.

PGT-A or not? Is ICSI worth it?
I am now just having huge doubts about PGT-A,
ICSI
and IMSI. Do they really add any benefit? Do the risks of embryo damage outweigh the benefits? Should we just do another standard round of IVF and risk a miscarriage (I had one on round 3)?

*sensitive? * faint positive?
After 4 years TTC, 3 IVF/
ICSI
cycles, 4 transfers (1 ectopic with removal of right tube, and 1 gave us our DD), we're trying to conceive naturally as at the moment we can't really do much else. Today I'm at 13 days after positive ovulation test. I had a wee at 2am, and another a few minutes ago.

Pros & cons to testing early
I've had two
ICSI
cycles both with fresh transfers. The first transfer was 1 embryo in August 2020 and the second transfer was 2 embryos in November 2020 but both failed and I never tested early on either like they advice us not to.

Thanks and Xmas wishes
Just wanted to say how glad I am to have found this forum as my first attempt at
Icsi
this year would have been so much more scary without the reassurance and encouragement you have all given me.

How many blastos is ‘normal’?
We’ve done 5 rounds of IVF/
ICSI
but only ever managed to get 1 or 2 x 5-day blastocysts developed each time, all of which have failed apart from one where we had a chemical pregnancy. How do these results fit in the general picture?

When does the worry end?!
I'm currently 14wks pregnant after my second round of IVF(
ICSI
). Our first round resulted in only one viable embryo and a mmc at 7 weeks. Absolutely devastated. Second round produced two eggs from which we got 2 embryos. Transfered one of them on day 3.

Help feeling overwhelmed
I am 45 have had one lot of unsuccessful
icsi
back in Nov and have 1 blastocyst left to try with so should be due to start again as soon as I have my period. My withdrawal bleed was Nov 18th and I’ve had no period since.

*Sensitive* my dating scan 🤗
We are feeling so blessed...on our 4th attempt with IVF (
icsi
) I am now 13 weeks pregnant today 💕 We have male factor infertility and it's been a very emotional and tough journey to say the least.

No fertilization on 1st day turned to one normal embryo by day 3 lab report, any experience? Is this common?
We did
ICSI
4 days ago and on day first lab reported 2 out of 3 mature eggs fertilized but now yesterday on day 3 they called me and said that you have 3 embryos developing normal!

Real chances at 44?
I had one fresh cycle in autumn which failed. 16 eggs collected with
icsi
, we had 4 blastocysts - 2 good / 2 not so good. Fresh and frozen cycles both failed (another frozen cycle back in Feb was a mmc). I’m currently in a fresh cycle.

Artificial Oocyte Activation.
As far as my research goes its basically a 'Calcium Bath' that my egg is dipped in once injected using
ICSI
. This method can assist whether it is my egg, or hubby's sperm that is struggling to activate. I really didn't want to use
ICSI
again, but willing to try anything! X

Anyone had chromosome karyotype testing and was it useful?
Because of our ‘shocking’ results (dr doesn’t help with her choice of words) - ie 5 rounds of IVF/
ICSI
where we’ve had huge drop offs in embryo development, our dr has advised chromosome karyotype testing. She can’t explain our results otherwise.

When is the best time to have progesterone level checked for a transfer?
For my two
ICSI
long protocol fresh transfers I’ve bled before my OTD. Doctor said it’s different with a natural FET as I produce my own progesterone so he doesn’t want to up from 1x lubion and 2x pessaries per day.

Bilateral varicocele surgery - Does it improve IVF ICSI results?
Hi, we have had 2 failed cycles of IVF +
ICSI
and seems like the quality of our embryos need to be improved.

“Package” cost of ivf - unfair for people who are returning patients!
I had my most recent two cycles with the same clinic who do an ivf package cost or an
ICSI
package cost which includes all bloods and initial screenings etc.
