2 failed ivf and the reason for so ?any one one has same problem ? Please share

hi twinbabyhopes ,
dont lose hope so soon dear. m facing da same situation as yours.the only difference is i hav undergone IVF more times than u. n my doc said the same thing dat maybe due to some genetic defect the embryo growth is arrested. that made me cry for days which of course didnt help.has ur doc suggested sending ur husband's semen sample for karyotyping?? this wud eliminate any doubts of genetic defect in the sperm at least.. i know it is confusing n very depressing but u sudnt give up.i havent.. i even went to the extent of getting somebody else's embryo transferred in my womb to see whther it grows or not. it didnt so doc concluded it might be the womb that's not supporting the pregnancy. ( dnt quite agree with it but... ) now m thinking of surrogacy though my doc says i sud go for another round of IVF.n there are people for whom IVF has worked at the 8th/9th time. keep trying 'twinbabyhopes'... m sure u wil be blessed soon. prayers for u ))

 

when IVF fails inspite of Grade 1 embryos and excellent looking endometrium it puzzles the docs too!!!! n sometimes they dnt hav answers either...( exactly what i hav been going through). n i hav many doubts n questions myself so i can understand all that u r going through.
IVF with blastocsyt transfer is certainly said to be more successful so if ur doc has suggested it then u should go for it. a blastocyst is a 5 day old embryo n has more chances of sticking to the womb.
but has ur doc checked u for antibodies?? sometimes the reproductive system comes under immunological attack.so what happens is when an embryo is transfered to the womb our body automatically rejects it.so after rounds n rounds of failed IVF my doc suggested i send my blood for this 'natural killer cells' test. if at all they r found the treatment is to take steriods which will lower the body's defence mechanism n get rid of those 'killer cells'.
n as far as m aware of n from what my doc says we can ascertain whether the embryo has any genetic problem but u cannot 'treat' a genetically defective embryo. .. but hey ..dnt worry.wil pray for a successful blastocyst transfer fr u.just keep ur will power strong..it will work.it should work. n in today's world with so much research n development happening m sure our pregnancy days arent far off
wish u lots of luck.take cre .

 

I had tears in my eyes when I read thru this tread .... and hats off to your attitude to just look ahead and next step... I hv not yet cm in terms of my icsi failure ... i am depressed, irritated, n probably crying thru n thru
I was told by my doc that my eggs were not of good quality ... the content of cytoplasam was not sufficient... my doc told me that once the embryo is formed they transfer it when it is in abt 8 cell stage or a lil more say 16 cells on day 5 ... if u require assisted hatching then they wud wait for a day more... when the quality of the eggs are real good they can sustain the cell division till they implant in the womb so a real good diet is the key is wht my doc said... i really do not though.. as I hv seen real poor eaters with bad stamina get naturally pregnant ... and deliver LOs with ease...

abt the antibodies you can be treated for that with a medication called prednisolone or equivalent (pls check with your doc for this) for a month

abt the genetic defect detection ...you can get a DFI (DNA fragmentation Index) test done with CASA as it is said that it is the content on the sperm that triggers the cleaving after fertilization ..

do update us on the progress

 

twinbabyhopes,

Have u gotten checked for Endometeriosis? A very close friend of mine had trouble with implantation and development due to ENDO.

Don't lose hope. You will have a baby soon
