It’s time to get some medical opinion and there starts the endless visiting to the infertility clinics.

18 February – DH’s SA count was good. My ultrasound shows poor egg quality and was given injectibles.

22 February – Still no improvement on the egg quality after the injectibles.

16 March – Ultrasound shows the same result – Poor egg quality and the doctor suggested IVF.
