Natural Cycle IVF in AD/Dubai

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone had had any success with Natural Cycle IVF at Dr Fakih's clinic in Abu Dhabi? I have just come back from EC for a Natural Cycle but they got no eggs at all, despite there being 2 good follicles at my last scan. I'm feeling really low and wondering whether to give the whole thing up or return for another go at Natural? Is there any point, or is it likely that there will be no eggs again?
I am very lucky in that I have a daughter already, from IVF in the UK, but since then we've had a tubal re-canalization, 2xFETs (UK) and 1x medicated IVF (Fakih) all BFN. I'm now 40 and have spent most of the past 10 years TTC and feeling like it is just too hard to continue.
I'm sorry to complain, when I know I'm in a lucky position, but I just wondered if this has happened to anyone else, and they went on to have a normal EC at the next cycle?
Luz

Really sorry to hear that, and for your cycle last year. I honestly don't know what we'll do next, my DH and I have just discussed it for an hour, and still not really decided! I am going to see Dr F myself next week for a follow up, though I'm not sure that it's going to help me make a decision...I'm sure others have had different experiences with him, but I always find him quite hard to talk to and pretty non-committal about my treatment...We might be there at the same time! x

Hi luz Yeah we did IVF with him jan last year I got 5 follicles but only one was viable for transfer which they said was of great quality, my levels rose at test date but then didn't increase and then gradually reduced:( What do you think your next step may be? I want to get in the next few days to see dr Fakih directly, as I've various health problems that won't be making IVF any easier for me X

Hi Nickym1d, Thank you for replying. No I don't mind - I tried a regular IVF with Dr Fakih but only got 2 eggs on high stims. Both of these fertilised well and they transferred 2 good embryos but no luck. So we thought that we might as well try a Natural Cycle since I only get 2 eggs with all the drugs anyway. Have you tried regular IVF with Dr Fakih previously? x
