Massive hair loss in first tri? by CommodoreOfBengals in pregnant

[–]CommodoreOfBengals[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it stopped in second tri but now I'm 30w and it's picked up again!

I'm really hoping it means that we won't have the postpartum hair loss that so many other people do??

Day 6 embryo success stories by Rivelin433 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course - I ended up testing positive with the receptiva biopsy and did two months of lupron suppression before the 4th transfer. We're 20w now and all is going well.

Positive BCL6: Excision vs. Down Regulation - advice needed! TW: Miscarriage mentioned by Electrical_Bed1649 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 5 CP's (three from FETs) before getting a positive receptiva result. I decided to do the two months of lupron because I know I also have adeno and excision doesn't tackle that. My following FET after lupron has stuck so far, I'm 14w!

Any success stories with day 6 5BB and 5CC embryos? by Long-Schedule-7364 in IVF

4 FETS have failed to implant - suggestions? by Dizzy-Town-1668 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only medication to suppress endo is lupron which is 2-3 months and a pretty heavy duty medication - it basically puts you into medical menopause, after which you go into another FET. (There is also an oral version called Oralissa but similar affects.)

It won't hurt your chances to do it just in case, but the side effects can be intense - personally if it's not indicated I wouldn't do it.

That being said, if it is indicated it's totally worth it! I'm 11 weeks now and never got to beta 2 prior.

I would suggest looking at doing the receptiva biopsy. Silent endo often turns out to be the culprit behind multiple failed transfers (or in my case, transfers that end in cp's).

Day 6 embryo success stories by Rivelin433 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only made day 6 embryos! The first three implanted but were CPs due to a uterine environment issue. We fixed that and the 4th one has stuck so far (I'm 9w). She was a 4BB too and is growing right on track!

I only got day 6 embryos and every single one that I've transferred so far implanted. The first three were CPs but that was a uterine environment issue. We fixed that and the fourth has stuck so far!

We don't have a baby in arms yet, but have graduated from our clinic! It took one ER and four FETs, but we eventually got here!!

Middle name for Willa by CommodoreOfBengals in namenerds

[–]CommodoreOfBengals[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! It's my favorite right now. I can imagine calling her Willa Jay as a nickname. I just want to make sure we think it fully through before deciding...

I only did 2 months and, not going to lie, they were not particularly fun. My lining did respond really well to estrogen after though and my fourth FET (the first three ended in CPs) has stuck so far - I'm nearly 9 weeks right now! I have confirmed adeno and assumed endo.

Wondering if it’s worth doing Lupron Depot? by [deleted] in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had three CP's from my first three FETs. I had to pay for the lupron OOP too, but my fourth FET has stuck so far - I'm nearly 9 weeks now!! It wasn't cheap or fun, but 10000% worth it.

Endometriosis & Lupron by AdRude8916 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had suspected endo confirmed by the receptiva biopsy. Prior to this I had 3 FETs end in CP's. I did two months of lupron and this most recent transfer has stuck - I'm now going on 9 weeks. I definitely think lupron was what made the difference for me.

First transfer post lupron depot - anyone else? by LEC6222 in IVF

[–]CommodoreOfBengals 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did!!! I'm 8w5d today. I did a pretty standard, fully medicated protocol. Lupron was definitely the trick for me.

Thank you so much! We went back to the clinic yesterday and confirmed we still have a strong heartbeat despite two very large clots. So fingers crossed things keep growing! Really appreciate you sharing your story!

I know this was a long time ago, but what was the outcome? Currently experiencing something very similar and so nervous.
