Mrsd ? getting sloshed will be fun. It only takes me one small glass nowadays. 2 glasses i begin to feel grotty the next day and 3 i have a proper hangover. Totally agree with you too, i would prefer to be happily married and childless over a bad marriage with kids or single actually. The trouble with being happily married though is it makes you desperate for kids.
Nelly ? it does really sound like something has happened. I really wish this could be easier. GPs are really weird about giving out progesterone, well mine was and she refused. Can you not purchase it from your clinic? Also I hear you on the rotten scoundrels who produce children willy nilly. Makes me so cross especially when you hear people say about infertility ?it?s just nature?s way...?.
Pout ? weird you get period cramps through the 2ww. Has it always been like that? I never get them. I ?ve had a few today and I?m irritable and bad tempered which is a big sign that AF is about to come. To be quite frank, I expect my system is just f*cked.
Princess ? very late on but i realised i never said wow , 35wks already and on maternity leave. People?s pregnancies seem to go incredibly quickly yet when i was pregnant for a few weeks it felt like months and months! . you must be due around a similar time to the royal baby which btw i?m just dreading. The hoo haa will be terrible but obviously can?t wait to hear about your hard won little one. we?ll have a hoo haa on here for mini princess instead.
So i?ve had my follow up at the clinic. It was pretty unenlightening. My erpc results weren?t even in my file when I was told they were and the doctor hadn?t seen my email of questions. SIGH.
I think the upshot is my eggs aren?t very good quality. She must have said that 4 times. Hence why we didn?t have anything to freeze from the original 12 that fertilised. As i suspected my ovaries seem to be much older than the rest of me. She then said they believe sperm dna should take over after day 3 but as Roy?s sperm frag had come back normal , it came back to my egg quality. I really wish the responsibility didn?t lie with me, I feel so guilty and crap about that. They wouldn?t recommend ivf again though, it will always be icsi because there are more than 85% abnormal sperm but with over 200m it doesn?t give a smidgen of a reason to blame Roy
.
She said that they would probably go for a day 3 transfer next time because they would have expected a better outcome. They did seem to disintegrate after day3. Interestingly they have seen embryos start to fragment and still this can result in a baby so putting back earlier may be better. I really think the quality is probably the main reason for our infertility and i would think my nk cells do also have some part to play in perhaps getting rid of a few early pregnancies. I know this isn?t an official explanation but i have decided it will do for now.
The doc said AMH doesn?t play a part. It does in how you respond but they see plenty of people have babies with amh less than 0.7.
In terms of whether each round will get worse, there are no guarantees. It could be better, it could be worse. [I know, helpful right]
Apparently things won?t drop off a cliff, it?s not like you get 13eggs this time and then I?ll get 7 the next and 3 the next. Apparently it goes up and down.
There is nothing i can do for egg quality. They don?t advise dhea especially before ivf.
And i don?t like to be rude about my hubby but.... I don?t know why i bother bringing him along to these meetings. He?s nothing short of useless. He had nothing to ask, nothing to say and I couldn?t get him to have any kind of conversation with me afterwards because he was too busy scoffing his chicken salad. It really ticked me off actually. Pmt strikes again.
So I think i understand what we are dealing with. We just need, as does everyone on here, the planets lined up, and a gigantic squeeze of luck a la art and doll and hey presto. Not much to ask.
