Sorry to hear af came Glorious
what scares you about icsi? I am in no way an expert but in my humble opinion natural fertilisation vs icsi doesn't make too much difference from my view as they both happen in the lab and if its going to improve your chances then I would do it (wouldn't help with us as it turns out our issue is my my immune system). Ideally we would all get preg naturally but it's still a miracle whichever way a certain sperm mets the lucky egg and which embryos stick. xx
glorious, are you happy for me to add you to the list? As for the ICSI, our successful IVF was an ICSI cycle. The ability to do ICSI is actually the only reason we'd be considering IVF at this point.
my big concern is the much larger risks of abnormalities, and because we are already messing with it i just dont think it is "right" for US (at this stage). we already have 2 kids and that has to be factored into our family life if we were to have a child with some anomalies.. but we dont know what will happenin the coming months...

I had no idea that was a concern with ICSI. I have a few friends who have gone the ICSI route with success (male factors). We don't really need to as DH has 'super sperm'. I could punch him every time he says it!
Afm- another BT this morning. My arms are sore now. So this will be our last cycle for a while. My body is tired. Even my brain. I don't have the energy to be stressed. On the plus side I don't have the energy to be stressed ;-)
Hope they tell me O was yesterday. I have the usual sore throat so I think it was.
i also havent read/heard about icsi having larger risk of abnormalities - all the studies ive read & discussions ive had with fs's over the 3 years of doing ivf have highlighted the increased rate of abnormalities with ivf/icsi treatment, however have been associated with the underlying reasons for couples accessing ivf/icsi treatment (ie sperm quality, health problems, age etc). once these reasons had been accounted for, the rates for abnormalities were about the same as any other naturallly conceived pregnancy.
CD3 for me..... Here we go again feeling really deflated all of a sudden, keep asking why I even bother trying..... But I'm not going to get my bubba if I don't so scan next Wednesday and FET the Wednesday after
Ceejelz I feel exactly the same... just really deflated and often wonder if I would be better off moving on and accepting my life without a baby but the fact that I have 2 more embryos keeps me going at the moment. If it comes to another IVF cycle I might be questioning if I can keep going... Did a HPT this morning and it was negative so I'm comfortable to say that Friday's BT will be a BFN so I'm down and angry at the world...
sorry girls on my phone so impossible to do personals. but I will come back.
I just got a phone call from the nurse at the clinic. with my blood results I had on fri. was day 23 and 1 week after a pos opk, my progesterone was only 2. so low. What's normal? im getting it redone tomorrow.
but I think it means we won't be doing a fet just yet. ..
I have been here, but not a great deal to talk about. This waiting and not doing anything is taking forever!! just over 3 weeks still until my second lap. It has been almost four weeks since my diagnostic lap and I am slowly getting back into the gym but it has been really hard to get back to pre-lap fitness level. ,it might sound weird (but then again maybe not as you are all going through this crappy journey too) but I keep getting really angry and down about getting ahead in my fitness and then having to back off all for an FET or now these laps Sorry little rant over now for a question.
I am now 2 weeks late after my lap, I know I should be happy that I am not getting my period but is there any need to be concerned at all? Has anyone else had a lap and then not got their period?
Thanks guys! I hope everyone is ok and I am sorry to hear that there are people struggling.
