Unanswered Questions

We have questions and we want to get the right answers from the right person.

What went wrong with our last ICSI cycle?

Doctor:  Your hormones are too unstable it is difficult to predict how your body reacts to the subcutaneous hormones. Hence resulting into OHSS.  You were lucky it did left any severe damage apart from having a swollen lower abdomen and weight gain.

Why did the embryo not implant in my uterus?

Doctor:  That is something we have no control over.  It is the nature of the embryo itself that decides whether or not to implant in the uterus.

Maybe it is because my uterine lining was not thick enough?  Why did you not do a test and check for the thickness of it?

Doctor: your uterine cavity is thick enough and ready for implantation, there is no need for a check up.


Why do our embryos stop developing at some point?

Doctor:  Again it is the embryo itself, there is nothing you can do about it.

Are there tests that we can do to  improve their quality so we will at least not waste a cycle and try again with a first cycle every after one transfer because we never got to the point where we have embryos in the cryo for preservation?

Doctor:  Not at the moment no.

Maybe you can do a hysteroscopy to check if everything is okay with my uteurs?

Doctor:  There is nothing wrong with your uteurs.  You have a child already so I don't think something is wrong with it.  It is not necessary.

A week later I told my fiance that I want to ask for a second opinon from a different hospital.  I informed our doctor and she was more than willing to hand our files to us.
