Re: Share Stories of Successful Fertility Treatments!
WHO : Wife was 36 and Husband >36
HOW LONG HAVE TTC : almost 10 years
FERTILITY ISSUE : Wife did not have a good number of eggs available (doctors susupected she was going into early menopause). Husband did not have a vas deferens and was unable to eject sperm.
TREATMENT : After 3 failed IVF treaments in the UK and 1 IVF that resulted in a miscarriage at 6 weeks, they decided to come to Canada for another IVF treatment.
RESULTS : The first IVF Treatment in Canada resulted in a pregnancy, but miscarriage occured at 5 weeks. A second attempt at IVF was done using her frozen embryo. The embryo quality was labelled as Good (a little better than poor). Wife decided to go for it anyways. The first embryo quality was labelled as Very Good. Alhumdulillah, this second IVF resulted in a pregnancy and she is now 8.5 months pregnant.
EXTRA EFFORTS : The wife continuously recited a certain dhikr that was prescribed to her by a Shaykh. She also continuously read Surah Al Imran Ayats 5-6 throughout the day. For the first IVF treatment in Canada, the wife only did accupuncture *after *the IVF. For the second successful IVF, she did accupuncture *before *and after the IVF.
I was just informed that this couple did** ICSI** (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in addition to the IVF.
The difference between the procedures done in the UK and in Canada was that the blastocyst was implanted in the womb at Day 3 in the UK, but in Canada, they waited until Day 5.
