Loops, art can really throw a curveball at you and sadly you can understand why the term rollercoaster is used, sorry your first cycle didn't result in a bfp.
It seems to me that ICSI did work for you hun, you had 5 fertilise, which is pretty good. The DNA in the sperm kick in around day 3 of an embryo's development, to enhance your chance's of this occuring correctly, is your DH taking Menevit ?
Often IVF doesn't work on the first go, I know which FS you see and I personally believe you are in good hands,I see the same one ,
How did your post ivf appointment go ? What did he say he was going to tweak next cycle for you ?
Thank you, wonderful ladies for your advice, help and support.
Looks like ICSI is probably the best option then, maybe not to blastie this time???. Im still a little confused but I havent seen my FS since the IVF yet - I have an appointment on the 10th Sept. so I guess we'll see what he says then and where to go from here
WLAB - he is great, I do think Im in good hands, just the things and questions going through my head because I havent been able to see him as yet. I can't wait to see him and see what he says and why he thinks perhaps it didnt work.
PS I will let you all know how I go on the 10th. Im thinking it was the embryo quality and since the others didnt make it to blastie then perhaps the one they transferred was no good also (obviously since it didnt stick) but Im not sure why - arhh so many questions.
We will be trying again but not sure when that will be yet because we are quite broke at the moment.
Loops - that's the hardest part about IVF, you can transfer a perfect embryo and it doesn't stick, that is what happened to me last cycle, especially given my age, my blast was a grade, why didn't it take.
Just make sure hubbie takes the Menevit whilst you get financially ready, and track your cycle's in between, you never know ....
Your next cycle you will be outa pocket about $1000, so that is some fruit for thought
Thanks WLAB. So sorry yours didnt stick either. We'll get there eventually!
Hubby is on Menevit - so I'll keep making sure he takes that and Im trying to get some Royal Jelly at the moment too.
The money we get back from Medicare will help but still not sure if we will be able to afford it yet as we have lots of bills to pay and will probably need the $$ for that.
When you said out of pocket only $1,000 is that if it is going from scratch i.e. we dont have emby's frozen so would have to ge through full cycle again?
All the best to you for this cycle. Hope you get BFP!! That will then give me some hope too and hopefully we will be pg at the same time!
Thanks for that breakdown - sorry Im a bit slow off the mark sometimes. All makes sense now though.
Its just the wait for the money back that is killing me! Arhh But it is good that we are only out of pocket that much in the end. I'd like to do another cycle this yr too just in case the safety net is still being dropped. Do you know any more about that?
