To tell you a little bit about us, I am a 28 y/o female and my husband is 31 y/o. We suffer from Male Factor infertility ( my husband does not have the acrosome on his sperm to bury into the egg therefore we have to do a procedure called ICSI)as well as possibly Female infertility from me being premature at birth and weighing 1 lb. 14 oz. We did IVF back in 2005 in Colorado with Dr. William Schoolcraft and David Gardner. I don't remember how many eggs we got, but we did a day 5 transfer and put in two blasts, neither of those took and we did not have any left over to freeze. We did IVF back in 2006 at Reproductive Care Center and they retrieved 16 eggs. was able to do ICSI on 9 of those eggs, out of those 9, 5 fertilized. We had two good quality (8 cell and 7 cell) and a fair quality 5 cell. the other two were 4 cell and poor quality. We transferred 3 embryos (8c,7c,5c) on day 3 and out of those three, one of them took and he is now a healthy 3 year old boy. We just did our third IVF cycle at Reproductive Care Center in Sandy, Utah and we got 21 eggs, out of those 21, we were able to do ICSI on 12. Out of those 12, 7 fertilized. We had two 8 cell fair minus quality, one 7 cell good quality, two 4 cell fair minus quality and two 5 cell fair minus quality. We did a day three transfer and put in 4 embryos (two 8c, one 7c and one 5c), we just got our BFN yesterday (June 2).
WHY THIS BLOG
I have put together this blog for others as well as mainly to vent my feelings on infertility and to make others aware of infertility. My goal is to eventually start a charity or non profit organization and help other couples afford infertility treatment or adoption. I am currently raising money to be able to do another infertility treatment whether it be embryo adoption, adoption or yet another cycle of IVF. It's still too soon for me to know what I want to do and if I want to go through another IVF.
