I had my EC yesterday for my second round of Ivf. The first round went relatively well and at 375 menopur I got 9 eggs- 6 fertilised and ended with one 5AA (early miscarriage) and one 3BB (early bleed due to progesterone issues). For this second round and last one funded by the NHS, I was on the same dose and I did everything I could do increase egg quality- high protein, no snacking, lots of water, Q10, vitamins and avoiding stress. I thought I was doing so well and I got 10 eggs. Then this morning I got a call and only 1 has fertilised. I cannot say how absolutely devastated I am.
But I am also so confused - what could have caused this? We had to use donor sperm and we got the same as the first round. But just before we got started we were told by the bank that our clinic rejected the sample purchased and suggested we got a better more expensive sample. Then after many emails the clinic got in touch to say that because the first round was ok with the same level of motility it was fine to proceed with the sample that they first rejected. The embryologist said this morning that the sample they prepared was fine so they are suggested it isn't this that has cause it to go so wrong. But is it my egg quality that has just plummeted from the first round 5 months ago?
I'm just so confused and so heartbroken. We haven't really told anyone about doing IVF so I'm just feeling so lonely coming to terms with this news. Thank you for readingxx
