Hi there, I am just wondering if one of you lovely ladies can help with a few questions I have. My brother and SIL have just had their first ivf cycle which resulted in a bfn and they have just been told that the eggies didn't fertilise. They have an appointment at the weekend to see what course of action is next. I don't understand why the clinic would've done an embie transfer if there was no embryo in the first place - is this normal? Also, could this be a one-off occurence, fertilisation not taking place? And if there is something more sinister wrong and there is some egg-sperm problem, what other options do they have? They have been trying for so so long, things in NZ seem to take forever and I am just so gutted for them that things are turning out like this. We have been ttc for 3 1/2 years naturally which has been trying enough and I just cannot fathom how they must be feeling right now. Anyhoo, thanks for listening to my little rant - any ideas or pearls of wisdom anyone?
