Hi. I'm new here. Fresh today with the pain of yet another BFN.
Story goes (sorry if it gets rambly!)
Met partner (now DH) at age 15. Fell pregnant at 16, had an early m/c. Split up and went our seperate ways at age 18.
New partner at age 21. Move in together etc, all going great.
No luck trying for a child, tests on him show no live sperm in his samples at all. Servere varicocele discovered.
Surgical sperm removal followed (under Local!) and then 4 rounds of ICSI (3 fresh 1 FET). No problems discovered with me, good response (15-20 eggs each time) but terrible quality embryos and awful fertilisation rate (approx 20%) Only ever had 2 cell embryos to put back, and all -ve results.
Drifted apart and went our seperate ways at age 27.
Rekindled very old relationship with ex (who I had the m/c with) and became a whirlwind romance with proposal etc in December 2007.
Fell pregnant in March 2008, sooo happy!
One week later rushed to hospital in agony. Finally diagnosed with a ruptured ectopic and internal bleeding, emergency surgery followed.
Surgeons removed left tube and found right tube to be badly twisted and scarred, probably from an old infection.
Was advised IVF was the way to go.
Got married end of 2008 and went right into IVF.
Made stunning little blastocycsts, top grade, one put back and one frozen. BFN.
Was offered immune testing (level 1 and 2) and went for it. Discovered protein C, killer cell and MTHFR issues.
FET in 2010 with immune treatments, chemical result.
Tried again, another full IVF with immune treatment, had 2 perfect little blasts put back (now allowed 2 due to sheer number of treatments) and got our BFP!!
Amongst a lot of bleeding and pain and confusion and a whole mulitude of tests and tears, an ectopic was found at 9 weeks. Not growing but not dissolving either.
Finally decided that tube was more trouble than it was worth to keep and begged the surgeons to remove it and they did, this was March 2011.
Fast forward to now, just had an FET with 2 more, this was a 3 day transfer as they were frozen early due to sheer volume of embryo we had. Good quality and as of today with AF, BFN.
So what the hell do we do now?!
Had a consultation with ARGC in London the other month, and was not impressed. I know they are meant to be the best in the UK but well they didn't act that way to me.
I don't really know what I want from posting here, just if anyone has any thought or ideas or anything at all then please post?
I feel so damn lonely in all this
