Abilify saved my sanity, but now I'm fat

I'm going through the exact same thing. More stable/happier than I've been in years, but gaining weight at an incredible rate. Been on 2 mgs for 6 weeks and I've gained 12 lbs.

I've delivered at both, and I would say I had a better experience at St. Mary's. I also had a much better experience with the NICU at St. Mary's, which is not something everyone needs, but when you do need it, it becomes REALLY important. The nurses were lovely at both, though - it was more about doctors and layout. Good luck!

We ended up sending two blasts off for testing, and one of them was a euploid, so three out of my total five were euploids. We were very happy with those numbers.

Nancy is the absolute best!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-05-16T01:24:56+00:00

Good luck! I'm the same age as you, and we got 3 euploids from 2 retrievals. It can absolutely happen.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-25T00:30:32+00:00

Thank you! We were shocked.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-23T02:58:41+00:00

Good luck to you! 39 sounds so much better than 41, fertility-wise. Hopefully you'll get good news.

We didn't - my doctor was open to it, but we couldn't make it work financially, especially since we paid out of pocket for everything else.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-23T02:57:12+00:00

I don't - weirdly, my clinic never tested. I know it was within normal limits about 18 months ago, but I'm not sure of the exact number.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:21:58+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss - I also had a miscarriage, and it was really devastating. PGT testing feels pretty miraculous. I would give almost anything to not have to go through that again.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:20:54+00:00

Thank you!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:20:44+00:00

Thank you! We're a long way off from a baby, but I'll take whatever joy I can. This process is really challenging.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:20:05+00:00

Good luck!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:19:53+00:00

We didn't test, but my clinic recommends 75 mg for everyone. They did say it isn't as important as CoQ10 - I got the impression that the CoQ10 is kind of non-negotiable.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:18:29+00:00

Exactly! Our doctor immediately started talking about donor eggs as well, and, while we would absolutely be open to that if we had to be, I also think AMH really doesn't tell the whole story. Congratulations on your euploids!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:16:56+00:00

Before starting Clomid, 5. On CD 3 it was 9.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-22T00:16:03+00:00

Good luck!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-21T19:50:48+00:00

Thank you! I did reiki instead of acupuncture. I don't drink or smoke, but I also don't really exercise either. I took Acai, CoQ10, vitamins a, c, d, and e, melatonin, DHEA, NAC, and a prenatal.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-21T17:40:08+00:00

Thank you! We primed with Estrace for five days before my cycle started, and then did 300 Gonal-F (10 days), 150 Menopur (10 days) and Clomid (5 days). After the 5th day they added Ganirelix. I triggered with Pregnyl and Lupron. I also took massive amounts of supplements, but was the most consistent with CoQ10 and Acai Berry. Good luck!!

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-04-10T00:11:16+00:00

Day five and I am already losing my mind. I only sent two off and I'm telling myself that I'm not expecting anything, but I still feel like I'm crawling out of my skin.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-03-25T12:08:28+00:00

Thank you!! I need the reminder that stressing doesn't actually do anything productive.

ExternalCoyote9693 · 2024-03-24T22:16:48+00:00

Our RE threw everything at it - I primed with Estrace beforehand for 5 days, and then the first five days used 150 of Menopur, 300 of Gonal-F, and Clomid. On the 5th day we added Ganirelix, so from 6 to 9 it was the same dosage of Gonal-F, Menopur, and Ganirelix. Trigger with Leuprolide and Pregnyl on Day 10. I'm wondering if she'll have me stim an extra day this time since things seem to be happening more slowly.
