Hi, good luck first of all. So many women who go through IVF say that the physical side is so difficult, but no, it's the waiting, the indeterminable waiting, and the emotional strain that's the worst.
I have PCOS and wasn't ovulating, despite my hormones claiming otherwise. My first egg collection and subsequent fertilisation resulted in 4 viable embryos.
My first implantation attempt worked... For 10 weeks. That was an ffing awful experience for us.
The 2nd, no.
Since they'd implanted 2 embryos each time, I needed to go back to collection and fertilisation. Again, 4 embryos resulted.
The 3rd attempt, no.
The 4th, no.
I was close to giving up, but we had 1 more collection etc that'd be partially funded by the Slovak healthcare system, so I decided to try one more time.
However, before extracting more eggs, the doctors checked my husband's sperm. It turned out he had a problem that meant his sperm contains a component that allows conception to take place but kills the embryos later. He had 2 months of hormonal treatment, then more collection, more fertilisation, and (again!) 4 viable embryos created.
The 5th attempt... WORKED! I have a beautiful 3-year-old girl now.
The 6th attempt, this time with only 1 embryo, worked, but only for 3 weeks.
The 7th, and final attempt, hasn't yet happened, because I found myself naturally pregnant with my now-1-year-old (very handsome) boy.
Success seems to be a mixture of real viability and luck. My old student was successful on her second attempt, one acquaintance was on her first, another on her 9th and 10th, another went through it for 8 years before success.
Good luck xx
