      From 1hope Yesterday

      I am sorry! I also had two failed bio-chemical. It just sucks!!! I went to NYC because my RE thought maybe the co-culture would help my embryos grow. They were not able to tell me if it is my eggs but they did say through a DFI test my DH was the problem. Since I have done 3 DS rounds all negative. I am wondering if it is my eggs too. I respond so well to medication and have so many eggs that I keep going. I am not sure what else to do. My DH will not do DE. Please let me know your thinking. I am sending you the biggest hug! It is a terrible place to be - I know! Just keep looking forward. It is all we can do:-) I am so sorry this has happend!

    • Little Love

      From mathilde Saturday

      I am so sorry for your loss.....
      I went to Reproductive Partners. Maybe you should get a second opinion with Dr Wisot or Dr. Yee. They do have a good success rate, and offices in Redondo, Beverly Hills and Westminster.
      I was very pleased with their services....let me know if you need more info...
      Take care of yourself ...sending you strength and love!
