I need some advice

Hi. I am 28 years old and have a 10 year old son from a previous relationship. My husband and I have been trying to conceive since September 2004. In September 2005 we started seeing an infertility specialist. After every test imaginable our infertility problem is undetermined. We had 7 IUIs with either clomid or injectables turn up negative. In January 2007, we started an IVF cycle. The first fresh cycle failed. We used our frozen eggs and got pregnant. At 12 weeks we had a miscarriage caused by Trisomy 22. My husband and I had the genetic blood test done and it came back normal. We did another fresh cycle and had a chemical pregnancy. My doctor then ordered more blood test for me (to check for lupus/anticardiolipin antibody/antiphosphatidyl serine/factor V leiden/homocysteine/antithrombin III/Protein S&C activity/prothrombin mutation/prolactin, HgbAC/ and DX 629.9). We then used our frozen eggs and it failed. So, again, we go through another fresh cycle with assisted hatching. We had another chemical pregnancy. (I did take a baby aspirin with every cycle.) We have decided to take a break. We currently have 5 eggs frozen. My question is, do you think there is anything that we can do, or add to a cycle at this point to achieve a full term healthy pregnancy? Also, when I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks that egg was in the blast stage. The rest have been 3 day transfers. The 5 eggs that I have frozen now where frozen on day 3. Can those be thawed and grown to day 5 now? I thank you so much for any advice/answers you may have.

I do  not know the capabilities of the lab you are using.  We usually transfer blastocysta and freeze only blastocysts.
Good luck.

Laproscopy nr.2 november 07 they found out the tube they cut with the first surgery was,t done good so they have to remove reste of tube with some fibroids and clean up inside me they said it was a bit a mess. Tried ivf nr.7 january 08 retrives 18 eggs, because me hb has low sperm mobility we decide  to blend with doner  1 from my hb fertilize and 2 from the doner so i have a 5 day blastocyst transfore which i have all 3 eggs put back inside me which also failed. What i can,t understand is,t normal that i always get my period 1 day before my blood work are 2 day efter. Could it be , because i,m studing and tyring ttc at the samet time why i never get pregnany not one time out of the 7, because my docters can,t see the reason why i,m not pg, ,because i always get top quality eggs put back inside me. Please give me some advise anythink wiil be apprecated. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Without examining both you and your medical records, I cannot provide any meaningful advice.  Please speak to your RE, or, if you want a second opiinion, see another RE in another practice.
Good luck.

In humans, ovulation is a rupture of a single fillicle containing an egg.  Symptoms are generally not helpful in determining whati is happening.
Good luck.

Your breast tenderness is probably caused by the elevated estrogen levles normal in the last 2/3 to 3/4 of the cycle.  Your severe menstrual pain with nauseamay be caused by endometriosis.  Please see a Reproductive Endocrinologist if you are having difficulty achieving a pregnancy.
Good luck.
