Patient's question:
I have undergone in vitro fertilization, and the fertilization was not good. I retrieved over 20 eggs, but later there were only two fertilizations with intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The doctor said the sperm quality was quite good. I am wondering if it was the egg quality that was the issue and how it could be poor. At the time, my follicles grew quite rapidly after receiving the ovulation-inducing injections. Please let me know the actual reason from an expert.Doctor's answer:
Those with poor luteal function may not see guaranteed results even when using ovulation induction medication. Sometimes, even if the follicles are large, it may only be a superficial phenomenon—the eggs may be of poor quality or not retrievable (leaving only empty follicles). Don’t consider IVF as the best option, as its success rate is not high, and the cost is expensive. The best approach is to try natural conception! In fact, for most infertility cases, finding a good Chinese medicine practitioner can be effective. I’ve also lost faith in it, but Chinese medicine treatment gave me hope.
