IVF success

Kelly • Tue, Apr 11

I just wanted to post my story for a bit of hope for others. We have been trying to conceive for 3 1/2 years with no success. I had an ectopic pregnancy about 6 years ago where my left tube was removed. We went to specialist and prescribed clomid and metformin as I wasn't ovulating. It kicked started the ovulation but with no success.

We then decided that <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> was the only option.

Went to a private clinic (UK) and started the process. At the scans I was found to only have 4 follicles on the right and 2 on the left, although I had a cyst on the left so they were unsure if they could get to them.

Egg retrieval came and they got 3 eggs, overnight two fertilised with icsi.

Both got to day 5, although one was slightly behind the other with progress. The one that was transferred was a 4aa rating.

Now, 9 days after transfer I got my bfp and I'm so excited

Just a bit of hope for you ladies that haven't got the best number of eggs, it's quality over quantity

Baby dust to everyone
