Hello! I'm 41 and currently on my 2ww to find out the result of my 3rd attempt with ivf using donor eggs. I went through failure twice... all my hopes are here now but i'm afraid it failed again as i'm not feeling any extraordinary symptom. Let me give you some background: 2010, i had a chemical pregnancy at age 36 with 1000 mIU/ml 2011, i got pregnant naturally... we were able to see the sac but the embryo stopped developing at some point and i miscarried at week 7 oct 2012, i was diagnosed with mild endometriosis jan 2013, laparoscopy, treatment of cystadenoma (found on left ovary) with normal results after followups... also diagnosed with retroverted uterus. 2013, 3 failed ivf attempts with ovulation induction+1 natural cycle ivf which failed again.... 1 egg collected on average with a maximum of 2 fertilized & transferred eggs. Got a bfn anyways.... normal embryo quality with normal hormonal exams. 2015, low amh levels. first DE-ivf attempt (actually my 5th ivf cycle) with 2 day3 embryo transfer (1 with own eggs + one with DE)... grade I and II embryos but bfn... i got 5d3 embryos frozen 2015, 2nd attempt with de-ivf... 2 embryos thawed, with 2 embryo transfer, bfn. now, 3rd de-ivf with 2 blastocysts... yesterday hcg test was <1.2 mIU/ml and progesterone was 67.50 ng/ml this said, my question is... why my embryos do not develop or attach? is it because of a mistake during the procedure? why i was able to get pregnant naturally but ivf has always been unsuccessful for me? any tip to enhance my chances of pregnancy with donor egg? i still have 1 frozen embryo remaining, don't know what to do though. Thanks for your help!
