Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling a bit spaced out! I've posted the same message in another thread and as I've just read EJE's message again with a bit more understanding, I wanted to post my message here too.

We went to see our FS today, and I must admit that I was expecting more of the same, "it's a numbers game, at your age after 3 attempts you should get a BFP", but actually, he didn't say that at all. He said that my overall egg quality has not been good, and as none of our embies have stayed, it is likely due to chromosone problems, so he wants us to test for genetic problems. We ahd the blood tests today and it will take 6 weeks to find out if there's a problem or not.

If there is they're going to use the Polscope to get past the spindle and avoid causing any problems with ICSI. It all sounds very confusing! If there is a problem we'll also have to do PGD.

So, this means a delay in the next cycle, hopefully we'll start in early April, on a different protocol called "Antagonist", which is 2 weeks shorter. If we get enough embryos the FS also wants to take them to blastocyst.

I am feeling drained and totally information overload. I was really expecting him to put us straight back onto another cycle. I am so worried about the test and if it brings up anything untoward and scary. 6 weeks seems like forever!

EJE - what's happening with you? Good luck for the Feb start!
