Hello Dr carole,
Hope you are doing well & I am sorry for the long post.
An Intro:
I am 30 & Husband is 35, we have a 6 yr old healthy daughter who was conceived very easily.
2 yrs back we started this HT journey in the hope of having a Son.
I was 28 & DH was 33 when we started this journey)
My First cycle:
Antagonist protocol > 16 eggs retrieved > 10 mature > 8 fertilized > 5 Prob PGD > 4 normal buys & 3 normal girls.
We transferred 2 boys which was an early blast & a compacting morular. Other two boys did not make it to blast so we did not freeze.
End result: Chemical pregnancy (Beta did not go more than 15)
My second cycle:
Long Lupron Protocol > 11 eggs retrieved > 9 mature >6 fertilized > 4 sent to PGD for 2 prob > 2 boys.
We transferred both & ended in a Negative pregnancy test.
My Third cycle:
Estrogen priming cycle > 16 eggs retrieved > 8 mature > 8 fertilized> 4 embys made it blast on day 5 & 2 embys made it blast on day 6 we freeze all embys > GSN results > 2 normal boys & 3 normal girls.
On FET Day boys did not make the thaw so No transfer was made. RE also thawed the girls & they did not thaw aswell.
So My RE told I would not be able to conceive naturally or via IVF by myself & I should be using Donor Eggs to achieve pregnancy.
The very next month, I had a surprise pregnancy & now I am 17 weeks pregnant with a baby girl & all the test results came back normal & the baby is healthy.
I want to try again around 2014 for PGD. But not sure if I still have a chance. Do u think I can still conceive a baby boy from my own eggs. Is there something (mine & my DH combination) is stopping us from a conceiving a baby boy.
Any advice would be really helpful.
Thanks
