We had our 2nd opinion with another clinic last night. To cut a long story shot - I knew I had poor egg quality, but I hadn't been told from our previous clinic, that the eggs that were fertilised, and subsequently transferred, showed signs of poor quality as well. I thought we had some good eggs and they were used, not that all my eggs were crap. So this FS seems to think I'm not getting pregnant because of an egg quality issue. Said the small things that showed up in my blood tests last year are small and insignificant, not big enough to cause problems (ie the cariolipin result). So he said he wouldn't put me on immunosuppressant drugs.
So, basically I asked whether there is any point doing any more IVF. He said he would suggest trying 1 or 2 more cycles (full cycles) and then we'd have to look at other options (which I believe would be egg donor but that's not an option we want to take). So I'm a bit devastated. With all my negative thinking that it won't happen, deep down I did still have some hope it would. But now I feel like my hopes are really dashed. I guess it's hitting me that we may never have a biological child. To think it could be over in one or two more cycles. I wasn't expecting that, but I am glad we got someone else to look over our case notes.
So I guess I'm looking for some kind of hope, someone to say that they had poor egg quality with low chances of success and managed to get pregnant. Anyone?
