Hey Loula,
I'm seeing Geoff Clarke at MIVF. His suggestion has been to reduce the amount of the stims, assuming that it must be an egg problem.
When our last cycle failed, I should have said it was ordinary IVF, not ICSI. The eggs apparently looked normal and were mature (15 were).
I'm still not clear on DNA/hidden sperm factor stuff. I still wonder if it's possible that the sperm is contributing to the problem as well as the egg.
IMSI eh? I've just heard of this now - thanks so much for mentioning it.
Keep us posted on your friend's treatment, if you can. It's so relevant (for me, anyway). That is so shocking that she's not being informed of all her treatment options down here.
My friend says the Melbourne medical profession are the most conservative in the country. He's not necessarily an expert, but it seems like its fits to me.
Thanks,
WW
