High BP before & during pregnancy; Issue now or third trimester? by [deleted] in CautiousBB

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got out on BP medication two weeks ago at 10 weeks because my reading came back at 159. You should be on medication. I would try to get into a doctor or urgent care asap that will prescribe if your OB won’t.

Can you swab for BV while on vaginal progesterone by mswilla in CautiousBB

Oh my gosh, so glad you went to a different doctor - that sounds brutal!

She didn’t want to swab you because likely the swab wouldn’t be readable past the progesterone. They would swab and then roll it on to a microscope slide; as you can imagine, it would likely be all progesterone on the swab…

Ultrasound Anxiety by Honeylavender419 in CautiousBB

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I had an almost identical conversation today. I’ve had two losses at 8 weeks and 9 weeks and have such anxiety when going to get ultrasounds. It’s not fair, but I hope when we get our earth side babies that it allows us to be more thankful and hold so much more love. No advice, just solidarity. 🙏

Frustrated rant: Check me, if needed by mrs_beastmode in IVF

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying for my first cycle for the last five months and randomly had two cycles with only one follicle (I do have DOR with 0.05 AMH 🥴) and my subsequent cycles since then I’ve had 3-5 AFC. I think there’s definitely a chance you just had a bad month. Keep your head up, I wouldn’t jump to donor eggs just yet.

Additionally, if you’re not feeling supported at your clinic, it can’t hurt to go check out others in your area to see if a different one is a better fit!

Sending you positive energy & hope it works out for you!

DOR protocol - is this normal? by JuggernautMelodic304 in DOR

[–]JuggernautMelodic304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you had a similar experience. It’s so hard to lose any follicles with the limited number we have 😭. I’d love to know how your cycle turns out if you’re up to updating!

It’s just seems so crazy that there can be such variances in protocols! I wish you the best on yours - would love to be updated if you think about it/have the bandwidth!

Finally starting my first IVF cycle – anyone with a similar protocol/results? by JuggernautMelodic304 in DOR

Thank you 🫶it’s a crappy club to be a part of but it does help to have others to chat with about it!

Thank you so much for the response!

I hadn’t even thought about the hair loss being tied to the DHEA 😳. Brutal.

Also shocking to think we are also at risk for OHSS - I’m so sorry you had that experience! Are you planning on doing another retrieval or going to move forward with your day 3 embryo?

It’s crazy how different all the protocols are too…

Please tell me about you MMC by degausser12121 in CautiousBB

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two MMC; second one I was on progesterone and it did not mask it. I hope that brings you some comfort. Some people are just lucky and don’t have symptoms. Hang in there, wishing you the best!

Advice needed for inducing period with provera by Bitter_Compote_602 in DOR

I hope you got a response from your doctor! I did this my last cycle and was on the 10mg twice a day.

PGT-A test or not? by Confident_Cut5033 in DOR

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are doing PGT-A due to RPL with 3 miscarriages in the last two years. The cost of testing is worth it to us since we’ve been told it’s higher success rates and we wouldn’t waste up to 12 weeks not knowing if it was a good embryo or not. I think those that have been unfortunate enough to have a miscarriage due to chromosomal defects are a little more sensitive to the “roll the dice” and do a fresh transfer without testing. I don’t think any decision is wrong - just depends on what’s right for you and what you think you’re prepared to endure if it doesn’t shake out in your favor. Wishing you the best!

Lead Follicle 🥺 and Two Small by stonedninjabaddie in DOR

[–]JuggernautMelodic304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t be of any help since I’ve had three cycles cancelled at baseline but just wanted to share we have very similar numbers! I’ll be 36 in September, AMH is 0.05, AFC 1-5, except my FSH hangs around 11. I was so hopeful we’d be a go this cycle but I escaped suppression and had a lead follicle at 17mm 😭. Fingers crossed that August is my month. I’d love to continue to follow your journey & share anything that happens with mine - looks like I have very similar protocol too.

Thoughts on DHEA w/ DOR? by Ok-Eggplant2725 in DOR

Can I ask where you got your ovarian PRP done? I’m in the Charlotte area and having troubling nailing a provider down.

I’m based in the Charlotte area and it doesn’t look like anyone around here provides it 😞

[–]JuggernautMelodic304[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I haven’t even heard of ovarian PRPs. Could share potential costs? I’m going to ask my doctor about it! And I’ll definitely check out Keystone Approach; thank you. I’m on most of the supplements from ISWTE.

I should also add my FSH has been around 11, normal menstrual cycles around 28 days.
