My first IVF cycle has just failed. I'm 35 and it seemed to go fairly well. We had 6 mature eggs collected and all 6 fertilised and were still going on day 3 between 6-9 cells. On day 5 we havd 2 grade 2 blastocysts transferred, one of which was fully hatched and the other hatching. The others weren't suitable for freezing due to high fragmentation. They gave us 50% chance of success with them but no implantation at all. I know we could have been unlucky and the eggs could have been chromosomally defective but I just want to make sure I don't waste another lot of money on the next go if it is something else.
I'm planning to have a hysterescopy and HSG as I haven't had these before as my doctor said I don't have any history which would warrant them. I have been reading a lot of things recently about immune testing. I can see that a lot of clinics and prominent people such as Robert Winston don't believe in it but then there are a lot of success stories as well so I'm not sure what to do for the best.
Has anybody had immune testing and if so did it find anything and did the treatment work for you? How many cycles of ivf did you wait until you had it done? What would you recommend for me?
