Failed IVF - Poor Egg QUality!!

[Jen black]

hi Jen Black,
how are you coping?
I had my egg collection on friday got 3 eggs and only 2 were able to be injected with sperm. One of the eggs fertilised but didnt make it to day 2 for my arranged transfer. I got a call this morning from the clinic cancelling todays transfer. Am gutted but on the other had I'd rather know now that go through the 2ww with hope.
Did the DR state when you could go throught another cycle?
I've to see my dr tomorrow as to what happens next, I really want to crack on this my 2nd IVF cycle asap.

Hi - your story sounds similar to mine - did they say it was your eggs? We are hoping to try 2nd go in next couple of months. I have to go for a FSH text again on 1-3 days of my period this month (should be this week sometime) and then back to hospital for an update. Im doing ok now but when I found out about my eggs - I couldnt cope with it and wanted my fiance to leave me and go and find someone else. I have googled poor egg quality and alot of places say to try royal jelly and acupuncture. So Ive been taking Royal jelly for two weeks so far just to see if it can do any miracles!!!!

How are you feeling? xxx

Hi Jen

No the Dr didn't tell me the exact problem with my eggs, just that they wre of poor quality because most never managed to continue fertilising past day 2. I haven't tried either Royal Jelly (never heard about it before) or acupuncture, however am looking into it! I always knew that something wasn't right because of the length of time it was taking us & I knew there would be a reason, & yes, in a way it's better because now we at least know what we're up against rather than being ''unexplained infertility'', if you know what I mean? But, like you I also pushed DH away as I felt if he found someone else they'd be able to give him a baby without all these problems & stress! But he's a lovely man & puts up with a lot, (including the mood swings thanks to the IV drugs)!! But, yes although we know the problem now it doesn't stop me feeling useless & sometimes that I will never get the baby I so desperately want.

Really hope your treatment goes well.
Love Jayne x

I sorry I've not answered sooner. I've yet to speak to my Dr as to what went wrong. All I know was there was 3 eggs at collection, 1 wasnt good enought of ICSI the other 2 were. One fertilised to day 1 but didnt make it to day 2, thats when the lab called me to say the transfer had to be cancelled. I've been waiting to see my Dr but she has to have a meeting with the other clinic dr's to discuss any ivf failured cases. So am in the dark at the moment
I was having acupuncture during my treatment and loved it but am not exactly a good case example!!
I'm feeling ok now and have not given up hope of ivf working. I just want answers cause I just feel like we're being kept in the dark.
