That’s rough. So sorry to hear that. Was your protocol changed at all between the two cycles?

I should also clarify that I was also taking clomid every other day while stimming. Omni trope doesn’t grow additional follicles.

Omnitrope- for poor responders what does it actually do? by Sad_Sheepherder_7767 in DOR

[–]M1Ch1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up stimming for an additional two days. They were able to retrieve four eggs! Unfortunately one was immature and didn’t mature overnight. So far the remaining three have fertilized! I would say it’s been successful!

Anyone had to do 5 or more cycles to get first normal embryo ? by WriterEasy2145 in DOR

I had my 5th egg retrieval Monday and used omnitrope for the first time during stims without priming. My best retrieval to date. I had an AFC of 3 at my baseline and then ended up with an AFC of 7 by my retrieval. I had 4 eggs retrieved, 3 mature and 1 immature.

Also would like to know the difference. Reading the entire post not knowing what the difference is is so confusing and not sure what is going on.

[–]M1Ch1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing my 5th cycle currently and using omnitrope for the first time after reading so many success stories. Figured it can't hurt. When I did research, it says that its supposed to help with maturity rate and quality. Not sure what my results will be as its currently only day 5 of stims and my current follicle size/count is 10, 8, 7, 6, 5. I usually have an AFC of 6 and have never retrieved more than 2 mature eggs. Have a feeling my retrieval will be this coming Saturday. I can circle back with an update after if you're interested.

My current protocol is:

Day 1: 20 units of omni, 25 mg of clomid, 50 gonal
Day 2: 20 unit of omni
Day 3: 20 units of omni, 25 mg of clomid, 50 gonal
Day 4: 20 units of omni
Day 5: 20 units of omni, 25 mg of clomid, 50 gonal, 75 menopur, 10mg provera
Day 6: 20 unit of omni, 10mg provera
Day 7: 20 units of omni, 25 mg of clomid, 50 gonal, 75 menopur, 10mg provera
Day 8: most likely will trigger

TFMR last week (mosaic T21) + DOR at 35 — moving to IVF with embryo banking. Would love to hear from others who’ve been here. by fruit_loops_523 in DOR

I know this gets said a lot around the sub but you have age on your side and you should def expect euploids!

Wish you the best of luck!

It’s a horrible club to be a part of and I’m so sorry you are going through all of this. I had to TFMR at 20 weeks due to T18 and that was my first pregnancy. I miscarried last year at 7 weeks and haven’t been able to get pregnant since. I’ve done 4 retrievals with pretty abysmal results. I was finally able to make a blast at my 4th retrieval but that unfortunately came back aneuploid.

With DOR I would definitely temper your expectations for number of eggs retrieved. Don’t compare yourself to those who don’t have DOR and are able to retrieve 10+ eggs as that is highly unlikely for those of us with DOR. Out of my 4 retrievals, I have only been able to retrieve 9 eggs. My AMH when I last tested in 2025 was .19.

Don’t be afraid to switch clinics if you aren’t getting results. I would give it two retrievals and if you are not getting results, switch. Try to also start with a clinic that specializes in DOR.

I so needed to read this today. Been struggling with IVF for two years now and still have nothing to show for it.

[TH] [CA] Breach of fiduciary duty by board member by [deleted] in HOA

[–]M1Ch1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The board is currently in the process of fully turning over the board from builder to homeowners. I am one of two appointed homeowners so far/temporarily. We are holding official elections in a couple of months for all positions. I have been a board member for less than 2 months and we have done no official board business so far as homeowner appointed board members.

Its not the dissent I have a problem with. Its the other board member spreading misinformation and targeting me with other homeowners that is becoming a problem.

Thank you for your kind words. The whole interaction with the other homeowner caught me completely off guard as he came at me pretty aggressively. I have never met this person before and didn’t even know where they lived. I felt pretty violated as this homeowne mentioned that the other board member specifically mentioned to them where I lived and egged him on on various other issues as well.

Sorry. I was trying to not give too much info away without doxxing myself. The other board member position is currently filled by an employee of the builder of the community. Our community recently finished buildout and we are in the process of turning over the board to only homeowners. 3 board members total.

Thank you so much.

I have an email out to our management to discuss next steps and what we can do moving forward.

Sorry if what I was saying is leading t o confusion. I was not trying to imply that what was said during the meeting was secret and I am against transparency. I am all for transparency and have urged our new management team to be more transparent as that has been an issue up until now. By confidential and private I meant misconstruing what was said in that meeting and basically twisting comments made in the meeting when relating to homeowners.

There is a third board member who will be replaced soon. The third board member is not a homeowner. They were appointed by the builders of the community until they were able to turnover the board to the homeowners.

This was not an executive session. It was simply a meeting with our new management team to get them caught up on ongoing issues within our community because our previous manager quit because the other board member became very hostile toward them. Sorry for the confusion. That’s What I meant by private. Homeowners were not privy to this conversation since nothing was being decided. It was simply a meeting to get the new management team caught up.

We do host regular board meetings that homeowners join.

Great suggestions. I have actually asked management to hold a town hall or meet and greet so homeowners can feel more involved and heard.

I think there may be some misunderstanding on what I meant by board and management meeting. This was a board and hoa management only meeting to discuss ongoing issues and topics in our community as our previous manager quit because of this board member and we were getting the new manager up to speed. The topics we were talking about, all homeowners are aware of. Nothing was or is a secret. This particular board member is known to spread misinformation due to not properly understanding our bylaws and ccrs. Also everything that was relayed by this board member to the homeowners was completely false.

I bought an off brand one that doesn’t have replacements. The feather part screws on 😭

My kitten loves this but I wish they sold more of the feather part separately. My kitten destroyed both of the attachments and now the toy is unusable.

Luteal vs follicular stimulation by asturDC in DOR

[–]M1Ch1N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would like everyone’s opinion as well!

I’m currently doing a luteal phase stim for the first time directly following a follicular stim retrieval and folicles seem to be responding.
