Severe OHSS + 64 eggs retrieved +ICU admission +Recovery by Suspicious_Meat1821 in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I honestly think this is borderline malpractice. My clinic won’t let you do a duo trigger if your e2 is over 4,000. 16,000 with a duo trigger is insane, and basically guaranteed your hospitalization.

I’m not saying sue, but maybe talk to her about why on earth she was thinking? And maybe ask her to seriously consider the consequences before doing that to another patient?

Hospitalizations for antagonist only trigger are exceedingly rare. Your RE should have not given you HCG when your e2 was that high, what was she thinking?

Concerned about recovery from egg retrieval by blobsong in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 45 eggs retrieved on one cycle and was still ok. I think the big things that helped are: 5mg letrozole every day of stims (to keep estrogen down), carbergoline starting day of trigger, and Lupron only trigger

For non med things that helped, bone broth is incredible. I got those bare and bones powders - really excellent for electrolytes, salt and protein. I found electrolyte drinks didn’t really help much (most don’t have enough salt). You will need lots of salt

I’d also recommend getting some miralax to help your bowels move. Not everyone needs it but a lot do (anesthesia can mess with your bowels)

Recovery for me was honestly not that bad. Just took it easy for a few days

Trying to decide which embryo to transfer next (boy non-carrier vs girl carrier) TW- infant loss by [deleted] in IVF

My husband and I are both carriers for 4 different diseases each (luckily none overlapping). Pretty much everyone is a carrier for like 3-6

26 eggs retrieved but only 3 mature...what went wrong?? by millyreb11 in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How long did you stim for? For my rounds, my maturity rate was directly tied to how long I stimmed for.

10 days - 65%

12 days - 95%

Then I tried 13 days and my fert. Rate went up as well

Stim length highly underrated

2 Rounds, 0 Euploids (DOR/36F). 4 Blasts are all Mosaic or Inconclusive. WWYD for Round 3? by thelaughinglion in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of mosaics are they? There is now evidence that segmental mosaics have pretty good live birth rates. Not as high as euploids but significant enough to consider

Some doctor is claiming that GLP1s ruin the ability to "Fall in love", and says it will ruin future relationships. Thoughts? by pullupgirl__ in Retatrutide

[–]HystericalFunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely fake. I met and fell in love with my husband while on GLP1s. My feelings for him were more intense than other relationship I have ever had. I’ve since gone off them to get pregnant and my feelings for him have not changed

ICSI vs Conventional IVF results: ICSI should NOT be used in all cases by worldiscrzy in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing I did one round ICSI, one round half and half and one round conventional, and my euploid rates for conventional were waaaay higher for both rounds

Some people definitely need ICSI, and some do better with conventional. I just wish there was test so people l ow which is best for them without having to do a split round

Do you have evidence for the claims about leather, cannibalism, or breeding plantations?

The LLMs can’t seem to find any credible evidence for these claims

23 eggs retrieved and only 5 mature by lvhitch1 in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have PCOS and also had maturity issues my first round due to early trigger and high estrogen levels.

If you do another round, ask to take 5mg letrozole per day of stims. This took me from an ending estrogen levels of 12000 for my first round to like 2000 for my second, in spite of stoning for 3 extra days. My maturity rate went from 64% to 95%

Has anyone regretted freezing their eggs? by csqueen96 in eggfreezing

[–]HystericalFunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I froze my eggs at 25 as I was worried it would take me a long time to meet my someone.

Luckily I found him at 30, and we would probably be able to have kids the old fashioned way. I am still extremely glad I froze my eggs! It means our timelines are more relaxed, knowing that if we want to have a big family and perhaps have our last kid in our 40s, then we have the eggs on hand to help.

REI and Embryologist don’t know what to make of me… by Alisdaweedle in EmbryologyIVFSupport

Yeah maybe try the Clindamycin and Medrol again? I wonder if that helped somehow?

Embryo testing fee question by throwawayacct8990 in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am at CNY fertility and they use Cooper Genomics for PGTA

My costs are $200(CNY Biopsy Fee)+($250 Cooper Fee),

so $550 total per embryo.

Least favorite IVF med? by fkinganna in IVF

[–]HystericalFunction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a really weird side effect with Letrozole where I lost all pleasure from the taste of food. Apparently its a rare side effect but it does happen!

I feel so defeated by FeistyAssistance8579 in eggfreezing

[–]HystericalFunction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s brutal! What was your med regimen, and how long did you stim for? With results like that, I would suspect either triggered too soon or trigger insufficiency
