We already had ivf and did not succeed due to not having good quality eggs and my husband having no sperm. We have a 7 year old so I don't won't a donor. I just want to give a brother or sister for my daughter.My husband had a brain tumour when 15 and he had had an injection for me to fall pregnant but now we have a child we can no longer go on it as it's very expensive.We did freeze some sperm but the problem is with me and not him.

Normal AMH and FSH but few follicles at IVF

I am currently doing my first ivf round. I am 35 years with tubal blockage. My AMH is 16.4 pmo/l and my Fsh 6. I was under a long protocol with fsh 150 iu but responded slowly. My Dr increased to 175 iu after one week. I am very concerned because I only have 4 mature follicles visible at scan. My Dr decided however to do the retrieval. I am afraid ending with no embryos to transfer. Do you think that I could have more eggs retrieved? What could be the reason of this small amount of follicles taking into account that my AMH and FSh are normal? Please note that my estradiol level is 6000pmo/l

Embryoscope query

We are having fertility treatment for secondary fertility. I have PCOS and also had treatment for our first child. I am 39 and my husband is nearly 46 so time isn't on our side. We have discovered I would need abdominal egg collection for IVF, which our current clinic doesn't offer so we are choosing between a clinic in London which would involve more stress from travelling but does offer Embryoscope, or another clinic which involves less stressful travelling but does not offer Embryoscope. From a medical point of view, how much should the Embryoscope facility make a part of our decision as to which clinic we should go to? (We used to see Mr Mathur at Cambridge IVF!). Many thanks for your time.
