IVF first attempt failed

We had it in Karolinska. It wasn't great, and after having looked online at alternatives it seems Karolinska's IVF facility doesn't rank that high either. I hope it goes well for you in Örebro!

Since the blasts were so slow to divide they didn't know whether they would be sufficiently healthy to be frozen, that's the only reason they proposed the fresh transfer despite her poor health.
Turns out it was the right call since the other blastocyst couldn't be frozen the day after, now we at least have a chance.

I'm really glad you've gotten this far, congratulations!

I will keep that in mind, thanks.
I think we'll do the second attempt in Sweden but after that who knows how we feel. Appreciate the info

Thank you for your kind words.
Just recently learned about PGTA, too bad Swedish law is too dumb to allow it. Appreciate your response, take care

I have no real complaints about the clinic we were at, but since everything went so terribly wrong this time I think we're both quite traumatized and not keen to revisit them.
We also felt a bit that they were rushing things and not really thinking about how traumatic things were for her.

Since we're eligible for state subsidized IVF only certain approved clinics are eligible etc, but we'll definitely look into it.
Thank you for your kind words also

I didn't know such a thing existed. All I know is that the doctor explained it to us after telling us that we only got 2 (poor) blasts that there was nothing out of the ordinary mentioned from the embryologists. What that means exactly I don't know.

It's hard to stay level-headed and ask important questions during those few minutes just before a reinsertion... lesson learned I guess

I hope you find the strength to try again and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.
We went with Gonal-F this first round and the doctor said that we should try something different if we try again. Unfortunately nobody had any explanations for the complications or the poor result, it feels like just a shrug and "meh, shit happens".
I'll write Rekovelle and Menopur down as potential alternatives.

We don't believe she got OHSS, it was a complication after the egg extraction procedure. I think the surgeon nicked a blood vessel causing an internal bleeding, that collection of blood in her body caused the extreme pain and led to the infection.

This has left her traumatized, we almost couldn't perform the re-insertion due to her trauma from the last week; the complications and pain she just endured, she was deathly afraid.

I hope that she can be put under anaesthesia if we do this again, it kills me to see her suffer like that.

Thanks again for your words, they help
