should i play it safe?

May 13, 2008

Hello DR Q I think we are finally ready to go ahead with IVF/ICSI. Just a brief abt my case...I an 29 yrs old and DH is 31, My estradiol and progesterone levels are all normal..i ovulate regularly every month and no sign of endometriosis or polycstic ovary. DH however has low sperm motility. we have done 3 unsuccessful IUI's, 4 cycles of clomid and do not want to wait anymore...our diagnosis still says 'unexplained infertility' I was wondering how could i be contributing to that..i can only think of bad quality of eggs...is there anything else i am not aware of?

My question is something that u can help me using all ur experience. Our clinic offers a 3 cycle package wherein u can try the IVF/ICSI 3 times...but we can really afford just maybe one or two cycles including the drugs...

Is it wiser to try the procedure thrice or do you feel i have chances of conceiving in the first or second try? please please help me doctor..i am really going crazy with this whole thing! Thank you in advance..

Given the young age, and adequate amount of sperm (given and assuming that IUIs were attempted), chances are that you'll get pregnant within two cycles...more over, you may have frozen embryos left over from each fresh IVF cycle...Only each individual person, under the consultation and supervision of their doc can make the final decision..

I have another quick ques....is there a good chance that something is wrong with my eggs? I have been working for my Phd at a research lab for a very long time and have handled a lot of nasty chemicals...i am so scared to learn that it may have cost me my fertility...
