Getting Desperate
I agree with what Ruby06 is saying. I also have been to the "top-notch" IVF specialist but it hasn't been quite working. I was pregnant in my second attempt using frozen eggs from the first time, however the foetus just did not grow after 8 weeks.
The experience gave me encouragement to keep doing the treatments but it seems that after 2 more fresh rounds, the no. of eggs that get successfully fertilised have significantly deteriorated to 3 of average quality (they used to be v good) with no spare eggs good enough for frozen keep. My doctor said I have PCOS, but he has not conducted any test on me and i have been taking Glucophage for the last 2 months already. He has never mentioned IVM before. There is no parameter on whether Glucophage works or not, besides the fact that the egg quality seems to be deteriorating. On ultrasound viewing before retrieval, they reacted well with Gonal F with desirable sizes, and the problem with the quality only surfaces after fertilisation, I was told.
I am getting desperate at the moment as I have just reached 40. I see myself as on the young side of 40 as I used to lead an active life (before turning into a tub of lard after the treatments). I don't usually take no for an answer and I am determined to keep trying. But I think that I should change my doctor as I don't see he has been doing anything special/tailor-made for me as I have been taking the same medicine/injection all this time. Even if there is nothing that doctors can do, I don't feel that I am getting the attention as the clock is ticking.
I am seeing Troy Sing on the TCM side but it is not clear to me on how much the quality of the eggs can be improved and how it can be monitored.
Can anyone suggest what I should do ? I know that I have to accept that my age is not working for me, but I believe that if I take my action plan correctly, there should be still be hope.
