Hi 👋 I’m 36F with low AMH and male factor.
I have been through 3 cycles of IVF with ICSI and I’m running out of hope. I have had a HyCoSy and hysteroscopy. Apart from a slight curve (heart shape) in my uterus everything was deemed normal. We take all of the recommended supplements and live a healthy lifestyle.

Cycle 1 - long antagonist protocol
8 eggs, 6 mature, 3 fertilised, 1 blastocyst
Fresh transfer - failed to implant
Cycle 2 antagonist protocol
6 eggs, 4 mature, 3 fertilised, 2 blastocysts
Fresh transfer - failed to implant
Second blastocyst was not okay for freezing on day 6

At this point the clinic told me there are no more tests they can do. They told us to consider an egg donor as it’s likely egg quality. We decided to have 1 more go. We always said three full cycles would be our cut off but I feel like this was when I was naive and expected to have more embryos.

Cycle 3 - antagonist protocol with duel trigger shot
5 eggs, 4 fertilised, 3 blastocysts
Fresh transfer - MMC
HB12 embryo and HB21 embryo frozen

I have read a lot about tests on the uterus (EMMA, ALICE) but would like to know experiences of this? Positives, negatives and impact?

I wish I had my embryos tested but it was not even presented as an option (UK). I am not going to thaw and freeze as I worry they won’t make it through that twice.

What else can I try? How long do extra tests take? Is it my uterus? Am I just on the wrong side of statistics?
Sadly, I have just had a miscarriage so will be waiting for a few months for things to return to normal.

Thanks 🙏

Sadly, I have had an ongoing missed miscarriage which has not resolved naturally. Today, I took mifepristone and about 4 hours later I started bleeding heavily (at work!). I didn’t think this would happen until the Misoprostol. Have i misunderstood? I have had the tiniest amount of spotting but no cramps leading up to today.

I’m experiencing a missed miscarriage which I’m hoping resolves itself between my last scan and the next scan (8 days apart).
I have the worst HEADACHE/body aches and paracetamol is not touching it.
What painkillers did you take? I have some co-codamol in the house but don’t want to take something that will make things worse.
I usually take paracetamol and aspirin to manage menstrual headaches but I know I can’t take aspirin atm.

Thanks for reading x
