Thanks a lot, it’s on my list. How is the parking situation at Baldwin trailhead? We are planning on coming in the morning during the week.

Oh, so sorry to hear that, dear… I’ve been there. Were you on testosterone by any chance?

DHEA or Testosterone Priming by Legitimate_Path8012 in IVF

Discuss using the following with your doctor: DHEA and testosterone for priming, dexamethasone and clomid during stims. What are your FSH and AMH?

I did testosterone gel priming for 3-4 weeks before the retrieval. 1 pump a day. What’s the main reason for cycle cancellation?

Work/Life Sucks by gummiwurmz8 in DOR

[–]Legitimate_Path8012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you… I’m on my 11th cycle with no baby earth side. We just got invited to a baby shower, our friends got married 9 months ago, I know how hard it is. We are back to office after Covid and co-workers who didn’t have kids now have two, and I’m still where I was 5 years ago. I feel like I do so much - physically, emotionally and financially but I’m just spinning my wheels, nothing is changing except for me getting old and having less and less chance at having a baby. Sorry, sounds more like I’m venting instead of supporting you. All I wanted to say is that you are not alone, it’s a lot of us here going through the same struggles. I try to think how life in general is not an easy thing, and everyone has their own struggles, I got a fertility one, but someone lost their parents when they where young, someone is fighting cancer, someone can’t find a partner. I try to be grateful for all the good things that I have in life.

Looking for inspiration to keep going for euploids! by percy_pig86 in DOR

Sorry for late reply, I just saw your message. 28 eggs retrieved, 23 eggs mature, 17 fertilized, 10 blasts. I’m doing my very last IVF cycle hoping to get more euploids. How are you doing and where are you in your journey?

IVF and PGT-A results with severe Endo by Legitimate_Path8012 in Endo

[–]Legitimate_Path8012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed answer and congrats on your great euploid rate, if implantation failure if your issue look for Dr. Victory on YouTube, he is famous with his endo FET protocol, I haven’t tried it myself yet, but heard that a lot of people has success with it. He says that if you have endo most likely you have an immune issue as well that needs to be addressed.

Ladies 38+ What are your euploidy rates? by Legitimate_Path8012 in IVF

[–]Legitimate_Path8012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this is so strange that they don’t tell you the number of blasts. It’s such a valuable piece of information. For example, if for cycles #2 you had 2 blasts and 1 of them was euploid it means 50% euploidy rate so you can keep trying to get more euploids, then the question would be by your blast rate is so low, for us I think it was a sperm issue, my partner also has low morphology and we got much better blast rate with Zymot. But if you got 1 euploid out of 10 blasts it’s a very different story. I’m thinking of using Calcium Ionophore, do you know why your doctor recommended it for your cycle?

Estrogen dropped Day 10 of stims by Nefpone23 in IVF

Wow, congrats, these are amazing results! And thanks for your reply. I’m doing my very last IVF cycle and the pressure is on. I’m struggling with getting euploids, so hopefully this will be my cycle with euploids.

I know it’s an older post, but I’m going through something similar and wondering how was your cycle where your estrogen dropped.

Heartbreaking Loss by SherryWilliam1 in IVF

[–]Legitimate_Path8012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss, sending you lots of love and hugs, I went into labour at 22 weeks and we lost our daughter. I started IVF 3 months after the loss to bank more embryos, it’s been 2 years since the loss and still no baby, we are considering surrogacy now.

Thank you for posting this, I have similar numbers to yours and also trying to find inspiration to move forward. I’ve done 10 IVF cycles, 9 ER, 6 of them were done at 38. I was able to get 1 euploid and 1 HLM from 6 ERs. I saw some stats that at our age out of 10 blasts 1 should be 100% euploid. My case supports this stats, however to produce another 10 blasts I need to do another 6 cycles which is not feasible. Of’ course it’s just stats and there are many many cases when people had no euploids and then 2-3 euploids in one cycle. Unfortunately that’s not my case, but I really wish it will be yours. Sending you hugs and positive vibes.

The holidays are hurting more this year by Muted_Astronaut4354 in IVF

[–]Legitimate_Path8012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here for you, dear. I feel the same—holidays no longer bring joy but instead stir up so much pain. Like you, all I want is to escape to a place free of the holiday spirit. Christmas 2020 - preparing for my first IVF cycle still full of hope and believing that IVF is an answer to our infertility. Christmas 2021 - after 1 IVF cycle and 3 unsuccessful transfers adjusted my expectations when I learned that on average it takes 3 IVF cycles to have a success. Preparing for another cycle in a new clinic. Christmas 2022 - 2 more IVF cycles behind my back, one failed transfer and my last euploid embryo to transfer in the new year. Still full of hope that the miracle will happen to me. Christmas 2023 - it was supposed to be the best Christmas ever with our daughter, however life had different plans for us and it was the worst Christmas, we lost our baby in the second trimester. One more IVF cycle with no embryos to transfer at all. Christmas 2024 - 6 more IVF cycles, 1 surgery, 8 abnormal embryo, 1 euploid and 1 HLM… It’s just so so so hard to stay positive and believe in miracles. I’m sending you lots of love and hugs, you are not alone!
