Me: 40 Boyfriend: 34 Trying to conceive for 6 yrs (since June 2003) Problems began when started my periods at 12 and was finally diagnosed with severe (stage 4) endo & dense adhesions at first lap in 1988 when I was 19. I was taking the pill for 18 years (from 16-34) and 15 of those I took the pill 3-6mthly to help prevent endo returning so quickly. I also have a bicornuate/septate uterus as well as having had polyps, uterine adhesions and a fibroid removed at varying times. I've had 6 x lap/dye + hysteroscopies (most recent in Mar 09 to remove active endo and cyst) with extensive surgery - at varying times had endo cysts removed from both ovaries, ovaries and their tubes glued together & then all stuck to pelvic wall, bladder and womb adhered together, endo on bowel & puch of douglas plus damaged sluggish tube. As well as lap/hysteroscopies, I've had an HSG, a cystoscopy & LUNA (laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation) performed. I had 2 early miscarriages in 2005 (naturally conceived) and have since been diagnosed with blood clotting and autoimmune disorders: Antiphospholipid syndrome (sticky blood), Low Activated Protein C and raised Natural Killer Cells: prescribed 75mg aspirin, 40mg clexane & 20mg prednisolone (high possibility that I will now require IVIG during IVF treatment to suppress NKCs) I was prescribed 6mths of clomid in 2005 to "boost" (ovulate naturally but meant I released more eggs !) Subsequently had......... March/April 2006: 1st (IVF) ~ 21 follicles & 10 eggs ~ 6x grade 1~ 2 transferred but negative.........July/Aug & Oct/Nov 2006: 2nd & 3rd (natural FET ~ frozen embryo transfer) ~ both resulted in chemical pregnancies (very early miscarriages).........Apr/May 2007: 4th (IVF) ~ 28 follicles & 19 eggs (risk of OHSS) ~ 5xgrade 1, 3xgrade 1-2 ~ another negative (6x frozen embryos)......Oct/Nov 2007: 5th (IVF) ~27 follicles and 16 eggs(slight risk of OHSS) ~ 1xgrade 1x6cell, 1xgrade 2x8cell + assisted hatching (others taken to blastocyst but didn't survive) ~ can't believe another negative and totally gutted......Mar/Apr 2008: 6th (IVF) ~ 40+ follicles and 30 eggs collected (high risk of OHSS) ~ 14 embryos on day 3 and went for blastocyst transfer ~ 2 x grade 2AA and 2 BB embies transfered but yet another negative result....heartbroken doesn't even get close ! Other embies didn't make it so no frosties. We've still got 6 snowbabies but we're booked to have another fresh IVF in October 2009 which will involve all the steroids, anticoagulants to prevent miscarriage plus trying intralipid transfusion for the first time. I also had another natural conceived early miscarriage in July 2009....first time conceived naturally in 4 years....We will not give up ~ we will be a mummy and daddy !
