Dr. Roseff,
Hello. I am a 34 year old woman, about to be 35 in less than a month. I have two children from a previous relationship. I am now married to the man of my dreams and have tried to get pregnant for a few years now. We found out that he has a very low sperm count. The IVF clinic we used said that with his numbers, the only solution would be to do IVF with ICSI.
We began the process September of '10. In October, we did the transfer, and two weeks later, I was pregnant. I was extremely happy that it worked on the very first try!
Unfortunately, almost 14 weeks later, I went for my routine checkup and I was informed that there was no heartbeat. I was devastated. We had lost our baby without any explanation. My OBGYN said it happens very often, and that testing later on would reveal if there were any chromosomal or genetic issues in either my husband and I. Which later on after testing we found out it was not a genetic issue.
I needed to get a D&E. I had my DNE January 15th, 2011, then I went for my check up with my OB\GYN, he told me everything looks great and that I should wait 2 cycles before I start the IVF process again. My question to you is, is this a good amount of time to wait, or should I wait longer; I am very eager to start the process again.
Another question, since suffering this lost, I began to look into the success rates numbers of different IVF clinics, I am looking at specifically the percentage of tranfers resulting in live births, and while looking i found out that the IVF clinic that we used had very poor numbers in this category. I am torn on whether I should use them again, because they already know my history and my story or look elsewhere, at another clinic with better percentage of transfers resulting in live births. Does this really matter?
