Hi.
We are on our second cycle of treatment. First was straight IVF (history of endo but largely felt to fall into unexplained). No fertilisation. Everyone a bit shocked as we had 3 spontaneous pregnancies (2mc and one dd). Some question that eggs were oval but no real reason identified.
So today was ec for cycle 2. Cycle has been a bit of a debarcle (failed down reg, ovarian cyst and then switch to short with initial poor response and needing big doses of stims). Was thrilled to get 11 eggs (massive suprise) of which 10 were suitable for icsi (recommended becuase of the fertilisation issue). Embryologist has rung and said that the shells of the eggs are thick and she is likely to recommend assisted hatching. I know roughly what this involved but don't really know the risks and benefits (including chance of multiples). Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks.
