so sorry QQuaver (((hugs))), i admire your positive attitude.

juju, i only had 7 eggs we were just lucky that 4 made it so we have 3 frosties, so you got more eggs from your cycle than me, good luck with all your tests and lets hope they find answers

So sorry QQ I was thinking so positive for you as you had great ones put back. You can only look forward. Most places like at least 3 bleeds before starting again.

Lilo - June will come round so quick, hope the cycle is successful.

Chick - hope you are feeling OK?

Isn't it about time we had a BFP on here - its long overdue!!

Hi everyone -

Well, it's not my tubes that are the problem. The HyCoSy/Echovist was fine, fluid flowed freely and quickly and there was no pain at all.

That's the good news.

The bad news is the AMH test showed my ovarian function/egg quality is poor. The result was 3.1 and normal would be between 6.6-15.

As I have long suspected, my eggs are cooked. This is the first time a test has ever shown anything adverse, so I was a bit shocked.

My unexplained infertility is now explained..

Lilo, so happy for you that you got your date!:j
Just 3 more weeks!
Runner, glad your AF arrived (I think?), will you be doing FET?
Hope your chickens are behaving today:)
Lisa, I'll probably do the same short protocol again, as I am older.
nichart, hope you caught your DH last night:p

I suppose I won't get AF until I stop those progesterone suppositories? My blood beta test is on Saturday, so I may as well use it up.

Glad everything went ok Chick sorry about theAMH test though. I had one yesterday so it will be interesting to see what mine is too.

What is your next step?

My eggs are rotten too:o
Never had AMH test, but they found out when they took a look at the actual eggs.

All we need is one golden egg:beer:
I'm taking Royal Jelly in the hope it may improve my eggies.

Having Googled, AMH indicates ovarian reserve, not the quality. You don't know if you have bad eggs or not. You may have excellent eggs but in lower quantity.

What's your next step?

I just did exactly the same thing :rotfl:

I had really good quality embryos this time.

Hi -

I guess I'll give it another 6 months or so, try to lose a bit more weight, keep a check on diet/caffeine/alcohol and then...give up.

Give up 'actively trying' I mean, at least in terms of testing and expecting an outcome every month - I need to get real and come to terms with it.

I don't think it's going to happen now.

The doctor advised me that someone in my shoes should proceed straight to IVF without passing go. But we're not going to, so that's that.

I mean, there's still hope - but not a lot..!
