Experiences with

Spedra

hi all! Any good experience using macs instead regular icsi? I have seen success stories with imsi and other with macs, which it is quite confusing!

At what point do you consider changing clinics? I've been with mine since 2020 - I was lucky to have my son via IUI using a sperm donor. 2.5 years on I've been trying for a sibling. 3 IUIs and 2 ICSI rounds later no luck. I've paid for my next two rounds via Access Fertility but I'm having doubts about

Back again, my 10th transfer failed of a euploid embryo. I tried prednisolone 20mg this time but it didn’t help. I had a particularly stressful week and I don’t think that helped anything whilst dealing with grief during my transfer as I honestly barely slept at all in the run up or the first few days

Hi everyone. I posted recently about going through a third failed cycle. We have male factor infertility so have used icsi. My husband has been working hard over the last year or so on improving his diet and fitness, as well as taking supplements. I did wonder if a miracle had happened in August, my

Hello ladies, I hope you are all doing OK. I had my first embryo transfer done on Tuesday using donor eggs. From this cycle, a total of 13 eggs were retrieved and all 13 eggs were mature and fertilized with Fertile Plus/ ICSI, which initially led to 11 embryos. We also added EmbryoGlue (not sure if this

hello everyone, so in September after my egg collection we collected 2 mature eggs which both failed to fertilise. After 2 weeks we had a withdrawal bleed. Now waiting for my next period to start before next cycle of icsi. On day 37 of this cycle and still no period- is this normal? Has anyone else

Hello everyone, I hope you are all ok. Since the egg retrieval on Thursday I am struggling mentally as on 9 eggs, 6 have been fertilised but at day 3 on Sunday they told us they are all developping in an abdormal way so we will probably dont have any transfer… I didnt anticipate this to happen on all

Hi. I've just had my first egg retrieval and got 33 eggs. Which initially I thought was good news but they have said as it's so high I'm at serious risk of OHSS so it has to be a freeze all. I'm so disappointed as I had it in my head we would be transferring a fresh cycle next week. Then I've seen high

Hi all, hope all are well and embracing this season of change - I LOVE autumn and cosy soup weather. I have recently turned 43 and just had our third round of IVF with PICSI - we took a break for Glastonbury to let off steam after 2 rounds, and to get (and implement) expert supplement and nutrition

Morning all, hope you’re all as well as can be! I just had my day 7 scan and my follicles have responded quickly and we are looking at a day 10 or 11 egg collection. I mentioned I’d had a tiny bit of pink streaked discharge when I wipe for two days and so the doctor looked and my womb and although

me and my husband had our first go at Icsi in 2018 it worked but I lost it at 9 weeks. But they could never see anything on the scan. Non of our embryos survived the thaw after that. We did try to adopt but have been messed around by them. We have paid for Icsi now at another clinic and I am honestly

Just had a call from our embryologist. Out of 9 eggs, 8 were suitable to use, 4 fertilised, 2 stopped growing at day 2, 1 made it to early blast day 5 but it wasn't fully developed and the last was given an extra day and fully hatched 6BB. They took a sample to test. The result aneuploid extra chromosone

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has had experience of doing this before icsi and whether it resulted in a high number of good quality embryos? I'd like to hear the both good and bad please. Thank you xx

Dear all just wanted to let you know my over 40 success story. Went to an nhs fertility consultant when I was 37 and he said due to my low amh which was 3.4pmol that ivf was my only option. 2 years later and 40lbs weight loss to qualify with the help of a personal trainer I began IVF. First round got

I’ve been quiet on here as just getting head round the last failed cycle. Feeling really down Came as complete shock that we had no embryos at all after having our best egg collection results ever. I had 7 eggs, 6 mature and all 6 fertilised but nothing made it to day 5. With our previous cycles had

I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve here but I guess I feel a little bit like no one around me understands. I don't know anyone who is in a similar position to me as most of my friends either have amazing careers or children or both. I've been trying to conceive for 4 years and have had three cycles

Hey, I am writing this on behalf of my sister as she is on the fence about starting IVF via ICSI. She has had an appointment and the doctor has told her about the many side effects this treatment can have on herself and the baby if the treatment is successful. She was told there is a risk that the child

hi all, first time posting here so hope I do it properly. I recently completed my first round of icsi & im currently 19dp5dt. I suspected I was having a chemical as my lines were getting lighter so was back in at my clinic for bloods a few days back. I got the results on Thursday of 37.2 and was

Hello All! I hope you’re as well as possible. I’ve taken a 6 month break to work on my physical and mental health before embarking on this gruelling journey. I have very low AMH (2.9) - no other identified issues and all other hormone levels good. Husband has borderline morphology issues but has

Hi All, Back story of our first FET - Egg collection in February, ICSI resulting in 3 day 5 embryos, PGT done with 1 viable little embryo. Got booked in for medicated treatment cycle in August (prostap >buserelin>progynova 6mg>cyclogest 400mg x2) & transfer done 6th September - Thankfully our embryo
