[quote=Anonymous]We went to IVF when I was 35 because at 33 we tried two IUIs and both were unsuccessful. My insurance allowed me to do an IUI without being married. A month later I got pregnant on my own and it resulted in an ectopic. We decided to get married. A year later, we met with Dr. Abbasi to start the IVF process and three days later I found ouot that we were pregnant....on our own, 3 weeks after being married....literally a honeymoon baby. Baby was born in 2015 (36 yr old). Breastfed for a year (37 year old). Spent 6 more months trying to lose weight. Did IVF blood work--all looked good, better for my age group. January before turning 38 we started trying. Unsuccessful since. Only 1 embryo has made it to blast and it tested abnormal. We have done 2 three-day transfers.

DH's sperm is normal DNA frag and above normal everything. For example, the sperm analysis for our retrieval yesterday was 23 million sperm, 13 after the wash, 98% motility. BUT, the doctor say that she believes something is happening with the sperm on a cellular level.  In the last cycle we had 18 eggs, 13 fertilized. All make it to day 3 and then start to degenerate. She believes the sperm are not doing their job at the end of the process and are causing the fragmentation. We tested my husband two months ago for MTHFR and he (and I) have it. So he has been on MethylCare and folate. We will see this cycle if that helped any.

I started at Columbia Fertility and then switched to Shady Grove this year.

I'm really interested in trying a cycle with very low menopur and see it that has any effect on the quality even if we get less eggs. [/quote]
