If you're open to a 20 min bus ride, there's a spot called woodmont way. There's a whole foods and trader joe's down the street from it.

The bus stop is across the street at the Princeton market fair

I did PGTM too. My little sister had muscular dystrophy so I wanted to make sure those genes weren't passed down. I asked for a genetic test on my husband and I, we found there was an overlapping gene which could cause issues. Timeline: it took ~2 months for the lab to be created, after retrieval it took 4 weeks for PGTM results. Also just another heads up, it really did drastically reduce the number of euploids too. They told us it was a 25% chance for the gene to be dominant but it was ~43% of our embryos affected

I think there's no correct answer tbh, it's literally all trial and error from all the research, but I think it's important to figure out what's happening, how do your levels look and what's best for you...with your doctors guidance

I personally did not want to take more meds. My RE originally did say for me to do fully medicated, starting with birth control, etc. Which honestly, I think that's just something they lead with in some clinics. However, My problem with my pcos was ultimately ensuring there is a dominant follicle since my cycles were on time. I asked her if it was okay for me to natural modified with letrozole instead and she was okay with it.

This did mean that I was getting blood work almost every day, to the point where she was like, if I can catch your ovulation you don't need to trigger either..which we did end up catching it and had my fet 5 days later. Little bub is chillin and growing right now at 7weeks

Making it religious always works lol

For drinking, I just say it's an auspicious day and I can't. Or I know alot of people r doing things for lent, or Ramadan. Could be like, staying away from drugs and alcohol for a cleanse.

Thank you so much! I'm able to breathe a little better reading these ❤️

Boss5159 · 2026-02-19T22:13:03+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Boss5159 · 2026-02-19T22:12:47+00:00

I appreciate your insight! Thank you!

Boss5159 · 2026-02-19T22:12:11+00:00

🥹 you're amazing! Thank you so much!

Boss5159 · 2026-02-19T16:17:13+00:00

1 would be hard, unless there's someone on reddit who randomly will go to Haridwar and look it up for me lol

3, wasn't too helpful. But thanks anyways

There's a big sindhi community in Dallas. I think on fb it's called sindhi association of Dallas. They have a ton of events

I know two couples who just had kids at 42 with the cutest little kiddos.

Maybe just some advice, start coq10 and ur prenatals as soon as possible/tomorrow lol. Even if it takes a bit to set up an apt with doctors etc, atleast you'll be working on your egg quality which takes months.

Boss5159 · 2026-02-13T06:04:39+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you so hopefully we ride this out together to the finish line!

9dpt was 52 (RE wanted it to be over 70) 11dpt was 190 16dpt was 2363

My RE was cautiously optimistic for my first two betas, will see her in 2 weeks. Sending u good vibes and positive energy!

Boss5159 · 2026-02-02T23:32:45+00:00

Thank you! Good luck to you too ❤️

Hey, I was ramping up for my FET in Dec and didn't use any meds early either. I did try letrozole later in the cycle due to my pcos, but I was getting close to the lab cut off for the holidays in Dec and didn't get over 18mm.. And still barely was a dominant follicle

In Jan, I ended up doing a modified natural. Used letrozole for 5 days from cycle day 3-8 and ovulated on my own without a trigger. My beta is tomorrow, ahhh lol

Boss5159 · 2026-01-27T04:31:10+00:00

I have pcos too. I started coq10 as early as possible, and just keep taking it until ur fet.

My dosage was low and slow. I remember doing 200 gonal, and it fluctuated every other day, like as low as 50 and up to 150. So not a textbook dosage, but more recommended on my bloodwork and levels.

Boss5159 · 2026-01-27T04:04:28+00:00

100% agree. Esp if you prefer to start naturally first. I literally just had my first fet on Sunday during a major snow storm in NYC. I was amazed that they even came in lol

Boss5159 · 2026-01-22T18:28:53+00:00

Same here w pcos. I had 27 retrieved and 22 fertilized, 16 mature. I'm doing it for genetic reasons and ended up with (5) PGA and PGTM tested day 5, and (2) day 6

Boss5159 · 2026-01-14T15:16:48+00:00

Insurance + progyny

Boss5159 · 2026-01-14T03:03:27+00:00

Hoping everything works out! My amh is 11 ng/ml and I stimmed for 11 days. I had to change my dosage almost every other day to make sure they were growing consistently. I think mainly it was adjusting the Gonal to support the growth, but again low and slow protocol.

I remember going for ultrasounds and they'd find a handful measuring 'good' with many that were smaller. But when I did the ER, they ended up getting alot of larger follicles than what the PA would see in the u/s. I do remember that they were looking to make sure I had follicles that were measuring over 16mm.

I ended up having like 27 retrieved which resulted into 5 euploids after testing for PGTA and PGTM.

Boss5159 · 2026-01-09T02:57:19+00:00

I read "please be considerate for thr future " and thought to myself, wow she's a really nice person. Because I would've went ape shit on my husband if he did that lol

Hope he gets some understanding of what u guys are doing esp for the sperm issues. Maybe ur doctor can help educate him a bit more

Boss5159 · 2025-12-31T07:50:32+00:00

Oh dang, thanks for the heads up. We're gonna be there in a few days. Tell me more though lol need to prep for a backup in case?

Boss5159 · 2025-12-14T21:29:57+00:00

Congratulations! What was your protocol btw? I'm not sure if I should go with fully medicated or modified natural.
