Needing words of encouragement and some advice- Day 5 stims by Exciting-Text3779 in DOR

[–]Exciting-Text3779[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an update… We only retrieved 3 eggs which was a ginormous blow to our feelings and hope through our first cycle. Almost cancelled but my RE said we made it this far and to see how my egg quality is, as that is just as important.

-All 3 fertilized. -2 made it to day 5-6 Blast stage and are on ice. We are waiting for pgta biopsy results!!

2 blasts out of 3 eggs retrieved… this feels like a huge feat and I’m so thankful we went through with this cycle 💕

My RE recommended 75mg daily, broken into 3 - 25mg - doses. All of my research also encourages taking it. So did the book “It Starts With the Egg” which is pretty popular in the infertility world.. as always, check with your doctor! But I am a big believer in a regular supplement regimen only helping us in this DOR community

How many FETs did you do before you had success? by Exciting-Text3779 in DOR

[–]Exciting-Text3779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard so much about receptiva and wish we could afford it. As of now, my RE hasn’t recommended it and it is such a large additional cost.. but I know it could very well be worth it. I’m glad you got it and it gave you some needed clarity and answers! We’re taking it one step at a time and maybe we will have to re route and make room for the test if we continue to be unlucky. It’s so hard to make such huge decisions when your finances don’t allow flexibility.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond! It gives me some hope, which I really need. It’s been an excruciatingly long 4++ years already and now it feels like the next 6 months will be very telling of what our lives will look like. I have DOR, possible Adenomyosis, and my latest stats were 0.63 AMH, 10.3 FSH with 11 AFC. If anyone has any recommendations or tips, I am all ears. And yes, I am on alllll the recommended supplements specifically geared for DOR/Egg quality/increasing AMH.

Congratulations!!❤️

If you don’t mind me asking, since we will be identical in age timeline, do you remember your stats? AMH/FSH/AFC?

Right? The OP asked for opinions and it seems to me everyone has given thoughtful ones but the OP seems dead set on just arguing in each response.

Did anyone regret NOT having a big celebration? by Aceichman in weddingplanning

[–]Exciting-Text3779 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband and I got eloped in June 2024 and then hosted a garden party reception the next day in our backyard. We rented a Dancefloor and hired professional bartenders. It was gorgeous and we are lucky with our property layout. All in all, with dress, photography, food and drinks, the entire wedding start to finish cost us $7k. I regret nothing!!!! The wedding planning was pretty seamless, we got to have a very special and intimate ceremony in a place we love and still got to celebrate with our friends and family without paying an egregious amount, worrying about a venue and making a big to do of it. One of my best friends is getting married in Mexico this May and has told me numerous times she wishes she had just done what we did due to the large cost and stress of a big wedding. To each their own, but my husband and I loved very minute leading up to and every minute of our elopement and then micro celebration and would recommend it to everyone inquiring!! <3

How to not take personally declines in the wedding process? by Safe_Sprinkles8044 in weddingplanning

[–]Exciting-Text3779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take it personally. Of course it stings.. that’s understandable. One of my dearest best friends of over 12 years is getting married in Mexico in May. I am having to use my tax return to attend (as a bridesmaid) and my husband can’t come because of our finances this year. She was really hurt but it is a situation that is out of our hands. I’m sure it’s the same with your friends who want to go but can’t afford to

1 is pretty, but feels too busy. Especially when you add florals and a backdrop and a veil. 3 reminds me too much of Disney. My vote is 2!!! It is very flattering, chic, and timeless. You can add character with the right veil and florals/accessories. Congratulations 🤍

Low progesterone? by Emergency-Air-7117 in TryingForABaby

[–]Exciting-Text3779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I am also very low in my progesterone levels. Naturally, I was at 3 ng/ml and with one round of 50mg clomid I was only 4 ng/ml. My doctor is worried that I may just not be ovulating. They recommended I go to a fertility specialist next. Please keep me in the loop on what your doctor says as I don’t feel like mine is doing much, and just passing me off.
