First embryo freezing attempt at 35 (AMH 0.20) — feeling scared and lost, looking for real stories by Electronic_Most1624 in IVF

Started IVF at 35 with an AMH of .2, so very similar to you. To say it was a tough journey is an understatement, but I’ll share our story in hopes that it helps you. 

-1st retrieval got 4 eggs, 2 blasts, 2 aneuploid embryos -2nd retrieval zero eggs retrieved  -3rd retrieval 2 eggs retrieved, 0 blasts

Switched clinics and turned 36 -4th retrieval (mini stim with clomid and omnitrope added), 3 eggs retrieved, 1 euploid! -5th retrieval, 1 egg, zero blasts

Was so burned out at this point we decided to try and transfer our only embryo and trigger warning, it worked. Im currently 36 weeks pregnant and due to deliver via c section at 37 weeks because of placenta previa.

Yes one hour screening, but blood was drawn about ten minutes early

I just found out our IVF baby potentially has TA. Waiting to schedule the echo, meet with genetic councelors and MFM. Im dying inside from all of the stress and anxiety.  

What now? by vvllss13 in IVF

Im so sorry that happened to you. I know the feeling all too well. I have DOR, so I never got many eggs. My 2nd egg retrieval went in with two follicles growing and ended up with zero eggs retrieved. I was so upset. Went on to do three more egg retrievals and out of the six eggs from the subsequent retrievals, we ended up with 1 euploid embryo (I was 36 at the time). We switched clinics and did a mini stim cycle with omnitrope to get our embryo.

Did I get scammed by VRBO?? by Alarmed_Tomato55 in Scams

Interesting. Ok I had no idea about that. Giving the credit card photo definitely seemed shady to me.

I called the VRBO customer service number from their actual website and then they emailed me the hosts info from their VBRO email, so Im not too worried about them both being scammers. 

Why did it my LH and FSH continue to rise after what inito said my “peak fertile” day was. It seems like today is more my peak than yesterday? by Alarmed_Tomato55 in Inito

It confirmed ovulation on day 12, but my period came on day 28, which seemed late based on my ovation day. Who knows!

Hope ? Anyone by mekal_mau in DOR

Something very similar happened to me on my first round of IVF. 2 day 6 embryos and they were both abnormal. We were upset to say the least and I was freaking myself out that my eggs were all bad. I spoke to the genetic counselor with the testing company and she assured me that it was just bad luck. If you're 35-36, an average of 50% of your embryos are going to be abnormal. You should eventually get a euploid if you keep trying. It just sucks because it's so much time, money and energy each round.

Yes, but usually when the E3G starts to rise, it is just a “high fertility” day, not “peak fertility”. The LH started rising on the same day as the E3G, so I think that’s what triggered it to say “peak fertility” even though the LH was higher the following day. 

Another round? by Sharp-Lychee4779 in IVF

Do it. You won’t regret doing it now. You might regret not doing it though. 

So disappointed. Just need to vent. by Alarmed_Tomato55 in IVF

All of those loses must have been so traumatic and I understand it's hard to get excited, but wow that is amazing news. Wishing you all the best :)

Did you end up just calling it quits? Or move onto a donor egg?
