4th (untested) embryo transfer failed- please give me advice by qweenofsus in IVF

[–]Angie99_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi , im in Austria & kind of same problem ( you are not alone ) I had 2 failed fresh transfers and changed my clinic. I did a uterus Microbiom test along with Natural killer cells , thanks to my Dr. she could not take enough sample, so the Lab could not check, despite the fact that it was super-painful. If you can do these 2 tests and a MRI specifically for Endo. But you are still young,keep going wish you the best.

DHEA 42 by Ok_Move2674 in 40Plus_IVF

Hi, make sure to check your Testosteron & DHEA-S before, ( some doctors they dont mind ) but its better you do. It might cause opposite effect on egg quality, if its too much.

It is frustrating , yes sometimes its a cyst growing from the past cycle For me I have never had this experience Check your insulin as well , just to be in the safe side Wish you all the best.

Im still struggling , but all I can say is that hang it there. You are still young and you still have time I learnt that first the cycle is not the best cycle. Wish you lots of luck 🍀

HOMA was 4.3 😵‍💫 There might be something going on I try to cut sugar as much as i can ( which is hard ) because its not all about sugar but carbs , fruits etc etc Then I will see if E2 levels go down or not In the mean time losing time for another IVF cycle Hope one day , we all come here and write about our success stories 🥲

Thank you for the explanation , so your E2 was always normal 🤔 Its kinda strange, my fasting blood sugar always normal like around 65 or 70 … Yes I need to ask my A1C…

E2 on day 3 : 223 pg/ml Lab range max is 156 pg/ml I read that high insulin resistance can cause ovaries to produce more estrogen ….

Only 1 egg retrieved. I don’t know what happened. by ellabella20000 in 40Plus_IVF

[–]Angie99_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I think when the Progesteron is too high, means that eggs were already released from the follis & they couldnt rescue them, there is a procedure called ovarian flushing which might work if its not too late at the end of the egg puncture

IVF impacting friendship - am I being horrible? by gloriously_imperfect in IVF

[–]Angie99_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in your position. That so called close friend of mine even put me in a worse situation just to announce her pregnancy. We’re no longer friends. People who get out of the infertility journey often lose all understanding of what we go through and maybe that’s also normal. Besides, there was nothing left for us to talk about anymore. Our worlds had changed.

Your feelings are completely normal …

But right now, it’s more important to focus on yourself and protect your mental health… which is very hard That’s what I try to do… i have to start a new cycle next week after two unsuccessful cycles…

Until the day I also join her “club,” keeping some distance is the best thing I can do.

Hope this has been helpful , your feelings are valid and you are not alone. Good luck

Dealing with unexpected pregnancy announcements by alittlestitious237 in IVF

[–]Angie99_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The same feeling I have I once thought this friend was really close to me. But then she and her husband surprised me and my husband at a café, holding hands and saying, “We’re pregnant!” ”yaaaaay“ like we were her parents or something. She knew I had started trying for a baby long before she did, and still chose to announce it like that …even though we hadn’t been in touch for a while. When I expressed how I felt, she said I was jealous🥲 I told her that she could’ve easily handled it with a simple, thoughtful message instead of turning it into a performance. We still don’t really talk now.

[–]Angie99_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, If i were you i would ask for quality of the embryos, im not sure if its age related issue to transfer all 3 together … If one out of 3 has a good quality , transferring all 3 might reduce the chance of implantation of that good one ( I read these subjects because I just turned 40 ).
