Icsi results

[Jcl22]

Hi,

Just done 1st round of IVF due to male factor so had to have ICSI. Yesterday was my egg retrieval and I was so delighted to hear there were 15 eggs retrieved but got a phonecall from the embryologist today to say only 13 of those eggs were mature and out of those 13, only 2 have fertilised on day 1. I am so devastated and cried all morning about it.

I don’t know what I’m looking for - maybe some reassurance of positive stories or someone to set my expectations. Can only 2 embryos that made it to day 1 go on to make it?

The clinic we are at only does day 5 transfers and I am feeling hopeless that we will even reach that stage.

These have really been the hardest few months of my life I just don’t know how I’m going to cope if this fails.

@charja100 I'm very sorry about it! I know how this feels... you just need to keep going and believe it will happen!
Remember you have frozen embryos so fingers crossed for them... I was mega disappointed after my 1st cycle as people generally think ivf it's a given but as it turns out... it's a chance! We had none embryos on 1st cycle... took us 3 cycles to get where we are and I am 38 with a very low amh. Keep going xxx

Thank you. I'm having a bit of a moment tonight. I seem to have lost all my positivity and am just finding it all a bit hard.

I didn't expect to be positive the first round, I know that the odds are stacked against that but I didn't think I'd feel out so quickly. I think I'm just dealing with all the emotions of the last few weeks and it's gotten to me a bit today

@AlisonDanuta I'm also 38 with a low AMH. Thank you. It gives me hope. X

@charja100 you will have ups and downs.. this is a hard journey! Try to have a good sleep and start planning tomorrow xxx
