IMSI instead of ICSI

OHSS after egg collection, had to wait till July/Aug for FET . Stressed up!
Hi , cut the story short. It's our third cycle of ICSI. I knew something was not quite right this round of ICSI as very bloated and very tired. I had been going in clinic every day since Day 10 of stimulation injection for blood tests and ultrasounds . 20 eggs were collected but only two made to fair

TW *mentions successful pregnancy ** Sibling round question
Trigger Warning: mention of successful pregnancy. Hi there, I’m sorry if this is a tough post for some as I realise how lucky we are to have a child. I had a round of ICSI 2019 (male factor) and had 4 embryos on day 5, transferred 1 fresh - failed, 2nd transfer - a FET failed and 3rd transfer success

DNA fragmentation worth it?
Hi, We’ve had 1 fresh and 1 frozen embryo transfer, both unsuccessful. At the review, we asked if there is anything else worth testing before trying again as we are moving from NHS to self-funded. The doctor initially suggested a sperm DNA fragmentation test and said if this showed an issue they

Egg retrieval day
Today is egg retrieval day and I was feeling fairly positive until I spoke to the consultant and she told me she's expecting the egg number to be in single figures (so anything up to 10). I know quality matters over quantity but am now freaking out as I got 20 eggs last time and only 3 embryos, so thinking

self funded NHS route vs private clinics: pros & cons ?; quality of treatment, costs & Time
Hi, I'm pretty new to the process and would appreciate all the advice I can get. I reached out to an NHS clinic in my area Dec 23 for a fertility check for my husband and I, first appointment was in Jan and we didn't get results/follow up consultation until march. the consultant mentioned my husband

independent fertility advice any suggestions?
Hi everyone, Hope you’re all ok. We have just completed our second round of IVF ICSI which was unsuccessful. Our clinic is advising that we just do the same again. I don’t think that’s the best option as we’ve done the same protocol twice and hasn’t been successful. I want to speak to a specialist who

Pregnant with untested embryo/blastocyst, gives me a lot of anxiety
Hi ladies, It is me again... Long story short, I am 9 week pregnant after multiple failed IVFs and years of trying to conceive (I am turning 40 years old next month). I find this journey extremely nerve wrecking and stressful, it never gets easy, every milestone a new worry comes up. So new concern

Recurrent implantation failure - please give me hope
Hello my lovely support team. I'll try and keep this rotten history of mine very very brief.......43 years old, all embryos created between 40-42. Trying since I was 36. Just one natural chemical at 41yo. So far, 5 failed transfers of 6 good-decent embryos. All bfn, no chemicals or anything else. 4 collections

Preparing for 2nd cycle
We have just had our first cycle of IVF/ICSI. Unfortunately this failed with a chemical pregnancy and did not get any frosties. We will have our review appointment with the consultant in due course. The nurse has said it will be 6 months before we can try again. Is this a standardised time scale or clinic

Pessaries versus injections
Hi there on my last icsi cycle I tried the injections instead of the pessaries and felt they worked better. We are due to try our third and probably last cycle of icsi at the end this month and the doctor has prescribed pessaries again. I advised I’d had injections last time and found them better and

Symptoms reduced
I am 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant, the past week I have add extreme nausea and tiredness but yesterday I feel like it almost disappeared and this morning I don’t feel half as bad when I’ve woke up . This is my first pregnancy through ICSI and I don’t really know what to expect. I’m worried something is

*****SENSITVE POST*****
I've never been so utterly heartbroken in all my life, been for a 9 week 5 day scan today and there is no heartbeat 💔! We went through icsi treatment our first ever one, and at the end we got a positive, went for a scan at our fertility clinic and could see a heartbeat but was measuring a week behind

Endo help
hi all, hope you’re well. I’m definitely repeating myself here (sorry), but looking for some reassurance 💛 As a back story, I’m 36, have endometriosis and 3 x failed rounds of ivf/icsi which includes 2 x transfers (top quality) and 4 pgta tested abnormal embryos. A recent MRI also shows fibroids,

No positive ovulation test?
We seem to be the poster couple for strange situations in our IVF/ICSI journey. For context - Following my previous posts (1 failed fresh transfer overlapping into a failed natural pregnancy) we were given the option of natural or medicated for our next transfer (embryo 2 of 4). We opted for natural

failure....
Hi ladies, this is my first time posting on here, and its a bit of a long one, sorry. We had a transfer on the 20th April, however this ended in a chemical pregnancy. Had lots (and LOTS) of positive tests, but never any progression. To say we were devastated would be an understatement. I already

Vaginal microbial test -two bacteria are higher. Any experience with treatment, recovery and impact on ivf/icsi ?
Hi all, I performed a vaginal microbiome test and the results show a higher level of Prevotella bivia and Ureaplasma urealyticum. Since these bacteria can have a negative impact on fertility ( implantation failure, bacterial vaginosis, sperm health), yesterday I contacted my consultant and today I

anyone else had genetic testing?
Hi well I’m back after a long break after previously having 2 BFN when we tried donor eggs with icsi. We’ve saved up again and decided to give it one last shot and this time the consultant recommended we try genetic screening before having any embryos implanted. Just wondered if there is anyone else

What changes did you make between Cycle 1 and 2?
BFN today following our one and only embryo transfer from Cycle 1, so beginning to think about our next (and last) cycle. It all started off quite well, 18 eggs collected but unfortunately only two fertilised via ICSI. I'm 39. But do have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship. We are having
