Hello Ladies,

I'm new to the site, have been on a uk one for the last 12 months, then came across this Ozzy site !!
I'm 36 (DH 37) and beeen living in Adelaide for just over two years, since emmigrating from uk.
(sorry gonna be a long one, as I feel the need to share)

MY JOURNEY :
One beautiful healthy 9 yr old boy conc natrually (97),met new partner in 2000.
Had a Ectopic in Jan 2001 .................then had a major seizure in Feb, diagnosed with epilepsy. Went on to M/C five more times over the next 3 years (all early).
Year after moving to Oz was under Repromed for re-current miscarriage and had another Ectopic at 9-13 weeks (emergency op as remaining tube had ruptured).
Last year embarked on the ivf rollercoaster and so it began ......................

ICSI May 06 (6 eggs 2 fert) BFN
ICSI Aug 06 (3 eggs 2 fert) BFN
ICSI Oct 06 ("1" egg ........ went ahead with cycle, it didn't fert).

Since then I have been in deep thought (with DH) about next step. I couldn't get my head around "egg donor". After going back to see consultant last week, I came out with a slight ray of hope !!
They have agreed to do another cycle (although egg timer test shows low, poor quality eggs as perimenopausal). This time doing ICSI again and administering yet another injection "Luveris". I had not heard of this before, but apparently helps to give the eggs a "boost" during maturity.
I am due to book on any day now !!!

Have any of you special ladies got insperational stories to share about low egg count ect.

I wish you all well on this "tough old ride",
stay strong
