I’ll try to cut a long story short 😂
We have severe MFI and conceived our daughter naturally by quite literally a miracle in 2020. Been trying since 2022 and nothing.
We’ve so far done 2 transfers from our first round of ICSI. We had 3 embryos and now have 1 left. First was a fresh and failed. Second was a natural FET and was a chemical. Added in lubion for the FET as I started spotting before OTD with the fresh.
Had our follow up today before our next transfer. I thought I’d try a different consultant as everyone raves about him as he’s also a specialist at the miscarriage/failed implantation clinic. He was meh. I went in with my list so I didn't forget what I wanted to say. He didn’t even read our notes before going in. All he knew was we have done 2 transfers and they failed. He didn’t even know I had paid nearly £700 in bloods tests to check my full thyroid and the miscarriage and thrombotic profile.
Anyway it’s been agreed for my next transfer we’ll add in clexane. He didn’t seem to be 100% sold on it, I think he said it to shut me up. It came back I was positive for the MTHFR mutation and I also have reynauds, so that was his reasoning. It also came back I have elevated thyroid antibodies, which he missed until I mentioned it. But he said I'm already on levothyroxine so it’s fine 🙄 I also suggested to have prednisolone but he said he doesn’t think it’s wise yet as I’ve not had 3 fails and there’s risks with pred. In my head I had that I needed clexane and pred. He did suggest the doxycycline as a precaution for endometritis which is what I had on my list to suggest. I raised concerns about completely natural as I’m worried I’ll miss the ovulation window and I’d rather there be some control and have a trigger, he said no. As my cycles are fine and I get positive ovulation tests.
I feel like I’ve come out and not been listened to. Just been a tick box exercise for his pay cheque. He did say worst case scenario we’ll then do more testing if this one fails such as an endometrial biopsy etc. I was quite excited before this consultation and now I feel quite deflated and already feel like it’s going to fail 😔
