Pregnant after IF
Egg quality issues & protocols for IVF Q - lurker
Dear sweet bumpful ladies -
It seems we've finally received a diagnosis and it is... Poor egg quality
Our RE told me, chronologically I'm not that old in egg-land but biologically it is a different story. I'm a high responder and I have a lot of eggs, they are just not "good" eggs. The writing is on the wall after 40+ eggs retrieved in our 3 IVF cycles and not 1 made it and none made it to frostie stage.
This egg quality issue is also highly likely to blame for our repeated losses and our general lack of ability to get PG (though these last 2 IVFs "worked").
It seems pretty clear to me. It's a house of cards situation.
We're wanting to cycle 1 more time with our own eggs and spermies but we may be changing clinics or seeking out national experts... we have a WTF meeting with our RE next week.
So, ladies with bellies or babies, in advance of our RE meeting - if you too had egg quality issues and losses - what protocol worked to get you your enduring BFP?
Many thanks.
