hi, New to all this and all these acronyms. Looking for advice or people in similar or have had similar situations. To summarise: - tried for two years and nothing, not even a positive test. - short cycle IVF - it was going to be a fresh cycle, however due to the medication, OHSS was looking likely

hi all, This is my first post.. after a 4 year break, we had a medicated FET 21/01/25 hoping for a sibling for our ICSI son born November 2018.. the embryo used last week is a Day 6 4BA - which they said thawed and expanded perfectly, lining all looked good etc. Having had two failed transfers

Hi all, I’m furiously booking in appts for IVF with ICSI/PICSI in EUR clinics and have so far met with- - Cube (coordinator only) - Clinica Tambre (Alicante) - Serum - Instituto Bernabeu (call next Monday) Then struggling to get a reply & meeting, but trying to book consultations with - - New

I've not posted on here for a while but I'm very much having a 'down day' after looking forward to plans with a friend and her kids today and she forgot about this. On Christmas day I found out my 6th transfer from my 3rd round of IVF failed - we tried icsi in the final round but no success. This was

We are preparing for our second cycle of ICSI, having transferred all viable embryos (4) through last year. I started Norethisterone on the 9th and am due to continue to the 20th Jan ahead of the base line scan on the 24th. I don't remember feeling any side effects last year on this medication, but

I'm struggling with my mindset at the moment. I know I'm so lucky to be going through another round of ICSI but so far I've had 3 failed IUI and 2 failed ICSI rounds (2 transfers). I'm finding it difficult to think this round will be any different than before. I have been on additional supplements for

Does anyone have any experience of using their own frozen eggs for ICSI? I’m 34 and have a high afc & hormone levels are good, but we are having ivf due to severe male factor. The clinic have told me they don’t have enough data on women in my age bracket using them so they can’t give me any idea of the

Hello everyone I recently had my egg collection, with 10 eggs retrieved. There was some confusion about whether to proceed with ICSI or IVF after I questioned the initial recommendation for ICSI. It turned out that my consultant had misunderstood me from the beginning regarding the duration of our TTC

I'm due to start IVF tomorrow and we've been asked whether we consent to ICSI. My partner is dead against it as he thinks the risk of male infertility in the child is too much of a risk. I'm not sure why he thinks this though as there's not much research from what I've seen. He has a daughter with autism

Hi all after a turbulent year with my 3rd icsi round being negative and our 4th attempt ending in an ectopic pregnancy I just wanted to say thank you to all the lovely ladies on here who’ve given personal insights and support that have helped get me through this difficult journey and to say happy new

Happy New Year all, I pray we all have a wonderful and blessed 2025. My wife and I have been on our IVF/ICSI journey since January 2024. Our first cycle unfortunately ended in a MMC (approx 6/7 weeks when growth stopped), no heartbeat. We were absolutely devastated, so naturally my wife & I needed

Hi all, I am 41 years old and have been TTC for over 3 years. We had one funded round of IVF via the NHS which failed due to no fertilisation. Our consultant then suggested ICSI which we did and had 1 egg fertilised and resulted in a positive pregnancy. Unfortunately I had MMC at 5.5 weeks. We then

Hello all, I have noticed on my IVF cycle that they plan to do ICSI in my first ever cycle, we are planning to do embryo banking due to my low AMH but I have fallen pregnant recently naturally but unfortunately resulted in early MC. There is no male factor involved and my husband’s semen analysis and

Can't believe that im having to look at IVF :( 4 yrs TTC male factor issues 4.5 mil sperm count 1% morphology :( Are the chances with icsi low for these levels? what countries abroad are the best ?! are there ivf holidays available which provides accomodation etc all covered in one? I live in

We are looking for recommendations for clinics abroad. Please message with either good or bad experiences. Not particular on a certain country. Looking for best value we can get. We are needing a multi cycle/embryo banking package (due to low AMH), ICSI and wish to have PGTA testing on any embryos

well after an exciting 2 weeks following our final BFp at age 49 and 4 rounds of icsi we went for our 6 wk scan yesterday and we’re told there was no sign of the embryo or sac and they suspected an ectopic pregnancy which a later scan confirmed. I am going in for treatment today to end the pregnancy

Dear all, anyone experience 1PN and 3PN embryos on day 1? Never had this before, do they have very low chance of developing to blast? I’m so devastating , I regret I didn’t use ICSI instead but lab told me even ICSI can’t avoid this, any advice? Thank you!

Hi All, I hope everyone is aswell as can be on this crazy rollercoaster. I just wanted to ask for some advice as I find this forum a huge source of knowledge, compassion and experience. I am 32 with a history of Tubo ovarian abscesses leading to both tubes being removed. Source of PID never identified

Hi all, I've just finished my second cycle of IVF treatment under the care of a new hospital who have been great so far. Instead we opted to have picsi instead of icsi which we had in our first cycle which didn't give us good fertilisation rates. So far picsi have given us a better outcome. Does anyone

Hi everyone, We’re three days into our injections and my husband is ill and has a fever, I have not caught what he has (touch wood). We’re doing ICSI and his numbers aren’t great, all below range besides morphology. Do we cancel everything or does anyone have a similar experience and can share. Many
