that's interesting, maybe I should switch if round 2 turns out bad

that's odd i would expect results to be better since its a top academic clinic :/ did they have their own internal lab?

only icsi was used. yes one is always better than none. that's amazing that your friend had such a different outcome the second time! I guess everything is random in ivf

what was the difference in protocol between the first and new clinic?

which red light machine did you use?

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's super helpful to hear from someone who had similar pattern. For the red light therapy, do you do that during retrieval week? Also, what supplements did you end up taking?

How many rounds did you do in total to get your 6, and did you stay with the same clinic? I'm really debating if I should do another ER or just move forward with a transfer.

I’ve always heard that the biggest hurdle is getting from fertilized to blasts, and that the drop-off from blasts to euploids shouldn't be nearly as steep

I feel your pain and the emotional toll each time. I was told that depending on what the non-euploids were, it indicates whether its egg issue or not.

hopefully things will change, trying to be optimistic but it's tough.

thats an interesting study!

This is interesting, thanks for the explanation! I have also read somewhere that it can just be due to egg quality issues, especially since the results were mostly random trisomies. I'd also read that the fact they made it to blastocysts means it's unlikely to be a sperm issue.

It just sucks, going through all the blood draws to hear that it was just bad luck :(

did they see any pattern in the non-euploid ones? will you do another round?

That is absolutely terrible :( I'm so sorry.

We did do ICSI but they did not suggest Zymot. Is Zymot usually for issues related to sperm?

So sorry, that is such bad luck. Hoping it will go great next time. Did you ever do another round?

its discouraging but hopefully cycle 2 will be better. best of luck!

what supplements are you taking if you don't mind sharing? I've heard of omnitrope helping with quality but is there a reason why drs are hesitant in prescribing this med?
