So the cycle 3 of ICSI of Manipal went the same way. Starts with a briefing by Dr. Bina. Then the efficient Dr. Manju Nair takes over (there is another junior doctor who came in the place of Shyamala who scared the heck out of us. She just does not come across well).
One thing to note this time was that the oocytes became ready pretty fast this time (no of days of stimulation). Same number of eggs were retrieved and for the first time, doctors said that the oocytes were good and not "average". One incident happened which bothered me. Egg retrieval and embryo transfer are typically the stages where Dr. Bina does the procedure. We pay the big bucks for her, after all. In our case, Dr. Bina was not in the hospital in time (there is a very strict time period between ovulation induction and oocyte retrieval - 35-36 hours). So Dr. Manju did the retrieval. Everything went smooth, and I am sure Dr. Manju is skilled, but I was disappointed in not receiving even a mention of this from Dr. Bina.
Three good embryos resulted.The uterine layer was not thick enough, so once more, the option was FET.
The FET cycle has been described, except for us, in the first attempt a uterine polyp was discovered. Then a hysteroscopic polypectomy had to be scheduled. My take is that all the hormones being used had a role to play in the polyp developing. They also made some changes where the pitutary suppression was not done this time. it was natural cycle FET. Anyway, eventually, we were able to do a FET, all embryos survived the freezing, and in due course discover ourselves to be pregnant!
For us however, the joy of pregnancy was diluted by a strange problem that occurred almost simultaneously. Without going into the details, let me just say that it was a disaster for us. We do not know why whatever happened did happen. I am also not too happy with the way Dr. Bina handled the situation, in terms of some of her inputs to us. I do not want to go into details, but only share an opinion.
Anyway, we were pregnant and initially everything appeared okay. However, in an ultrasound scan, a possibility of a genetic anomaly was discovered along with other problems. After further testing, very serious, life altering, incurable problems were discovered. We were forced to make the hardest ever decision on saying good bye to our child considering the sheer magnitude of issues.
