About

Across five IVF cycles, I shifted my own euploidy rate from 0-20% in my first two cycles, up to 66% by my fifth cycle (or 83% once you include low-level mosaics). In practical terms, that is the difference between a 43 year old's typical odds and those of a woman aged 25 to 30.

My own results across five cycles

Here is exactly what my embryos came back as, cycle by cycle, as I added one evidence-backed step at a time.

Where I was starting from

At my final cycle in September 2024, I was 40 years and 6 months old, with an AMH of 1.9 to 2 ng/ml (about 19 pmol for those of you in Australia or the UK), an antral follicle count of 5 to 7, and FSH between 8 and 11. I have unknown-cause infertility (most likely tubal) following an ectopic pregnancy in 2021. I had previously succeeded with IVF at 37, and had my son.

How I approached it

Rather than trying everything at random, I focused on the things with enough evidence to suggest they could work, without a high risk of harm. And I studied my own embryo data closely, looking for patterns I could act on.

What I am, and what I'm not

I am not a doctor or a health professional. I am a long-term IVF patient and a citizen researcher. My story is as much about knowing when enough is enough as it is about how to push when the odds are against you.

My husband and I welcomed our daughter on the 2nd of February 2026 and with her arrival, joining her big brother, our little family is now complete.

My next mission now, is to help you and other women and families from all over the world to achieve their dreams of finally holding their precious baby in their arms and building the family they have so longed for. And importantly, along the way, to have a validating and hopeful experience rather than one filled with confusion, overwhelm and fear. Because no matter how the journey ends, it is the path that will be remembered for years to come.
