IVF Scotland - thread 6

[IVFlife]

That last thread filled up quickly without us noticing. So here is a new one for Scotland.

Thanks for getting back to me @Nosejug - I really appreciate it.

We got 7 eggs in total, 4 were mature and 3 fertilised (using ICSI). This was my second round (first round I conceived but miscarried at 21 weeks).

I was on their max protocol too as far as I know not sure if there's anything they'll change but I want to try again.

No word yet - hopefully it won't be much longer. Thanks again for replying.

Oh @ThatAmberSeal I am so sorry to read about your miscarriage. There are no suitable words. I was at high risk of late loss due to cervical issues and was being supported throughout by a psychologist which I’m grateful for. I really can’t imagine. I hope the nhs have looked after you.

So you’ll def get a third round as it’s just less than three eggs is the cut off (I got two in my second round despite lots of good sized follicles so didn’t get a third and went down the private route). I guess the only thing they’ll review is the meds but then your egg numbers (compared to me) are good. I think they meet every Friday, and I actually called them after my first three egg round as I was nervous and I believe they told me the outcome over the phone and the letter came a bit later. Maybe try give the reception a call?

Thanks @Nosejug we did a postmortem and the NHS did tests but there was no cause and the consultant said they wouldn't expect it to happen again if I were to conceive. We got counselling through a charity that the bereavement midwife referred us to as well.

I have been worried that I might not get another cycle and it was really disappointing to not have anything to freeze again.

No word yet so I think I'll get back in touch next week if I don't hear anything.
