Manage episode 329566220 series 3354597
In this first episode of season 2, Simone tells her own tale of infertility with the help of her husband Stuart. The journey began after 12 months of trying to conceive naturally and Stuart deciding to get his sperm tested. They found out Stuart has low sperm count and for them to conceive naturally would have a 1 in a million chance and the best option was IVF with ICSI. After 1 stimulated cycle and 3 failed transfers, Simone had a Laparoscopy. The surgery found mild endometriosis, adhesions and high natural killer cells. They did another stimulated cycle and a had a few more failed transfers (on an immune protocol) before discovering the DQ alpha gene partial match. They completed LMIT in Melbourne and went through another stimulated cycle (doing PGS this time) and a few more transfers. Using their first PGS embryo and on a tailored immune protocol, Simone fell pregnant. A year after their daughter was born they decided it was time to extend their family. The same treatment plan was used to conceive their son (who is now 5 months old).
