Beth Tay sachs IVF ICSI MC BFP ENDO

This weeks episode brings you Beths IVF journey. Beth describes volunteering to be an egg donor for some friends and finding out she is a carrier for Tay Sachs gene, and how this led to her down the road of IVF. Candidly, she discusses going through a bulk billing clinic, multiple rounds of IVF and early miscarriage. Beth had to actively advocate for herself, armed with information she requested extensive testing on her husbands sperm and her own body, despite her doctor not recommending the treatment. Eventually, she sought a second opinion with a private clinic, had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with stage 3 Endometriosis and a blocked fallopian tube. We chat quite a bit about miscarriage and the ideas around sharing pregnancies in the first trimester in order to receive support.

Since the interview, Beth has undergone her 5th round of IVF, although this time ICSI was the preferred method. They got 14 eggs, 8 mature and all 8 fertilised! Beth was able to transfer two beautiful blastocysts, however, there were none to freeze. She had an implant bleed at 6dp5dt and a strong positive home test the next day, but then 2 days later the home tests got lighter and it was confirmed that sadly Beth was losing her two babes to early miscarriage. Currently, she is engaging with treatment with a private specialist and is potentially looking into egg donation.
