Is it time for DE?

[bluebird3]

Hi everyone,

I've had 3 failed ivf with my own eggs. I'm 31, a bit overweight but bmi is 29. I don't drink much, don't smoke, get plenty of sleep, etc.

I had a mc with cycle 2 and a chemical with cycle 3. I always get 10-12 eggs, have a 90% fertilisation rate. By day 3 usually only 2-3 are left in the running. I usually 1 good blast to implant and maybe 1 other that's ok.

At my review appointment today I was told that I'm consistently having poor quality embryos and the recommendation is donor eggs.

Does this seem like the right advice? I am trying to get my head around this as I wasn't expecting to be told donor eggs being young(ish).

Yeah, definitely let me know how you get on!
I'll be interested to know if the surgical retrieval helps. What supplements are you on?

Feel free to join my other thread on infertility called TTC 18+ months moving on to IUI/IVF. There aren't loads on it but everyone is lovely and supportive.

Hey, they've told me to take DHEA, melatonin, high dose vitamin d (Though was already in my usual supplements but not at such a dose) and also co enzyme q-10! I'm going to be rattling!! I won't have taken the required amount prior to starting the ivf but never mind.

We've also signed up for access fertility so if we haven't got a baby by the end of 3 cycles we get our money back - it's nice to know someone thinks we have the ability to get pregnant.

I hope you've got lots of exciting things planned for the 3 months before you can start?! It's so hard as it impacts on everything - no money to do anything nice, no overindulging in food or alcohol. Infertility is truly shit!

I'll check out the other thread x
