Contents of Letter - No special belated Christmas Present for Mum and Dad..

None of the five eggs retrieved on the 3rd of December fertilised normally and no embryos were available for transfer. It appears on this cycle to be an egg factor, as three of the eggs fertilised abnormally and an abnormal polar body was seen on the fourth egg.

I have explained to Julie that two cycles can sometimes be different although an underlying egg factor cannot be excluded. She may wish to try again and I have suggested 400 IU of Puregon on an Orgalutron protocol. I have discussed the option of ICSI which may optimize her chance of success. Meanwhile I have also mentioned the option of donor eggs.
