I haven't posted here in a while and I think the main reason is that I have/am mentally exhausted by all of this.
Our unsuccessful IVF attempt was back in early July and we are now at the end of August and it was only today that I was ready to go back and see our fertility specialist.
After much hesitation we finally made the appointment and went today to see her in a hope of getting some answers as to what went wrong.
Unfortunately there were no answers for us, our specialist said that to have many follicles like I did and to only get one egg from them is very rare and unusual.
There is no reason why, well no reason that can be given as to why it happened.
It may be due to genetics, diet, lifestyle or anything else....there is no test to find out if anything caused this to happen.
So armed with no answers we had to work out what to do next.
We are hoping to do another IVF cycle in November and it will be a different cycle to the one we just did.
It will be the longer cycle, which is about 50-60 days long but it's a different approach to the one we did and hopefully we will have a different outcome.
For now, we are going to try Clomid (a drug that helps to encourage ovulation) this cycle and Puregon (injections that do the same as Clomid) next cycle and pray that we get another miracle bub out of one of these cycles, if not than hopefully it's on to another IVF cycle
