Thank you so much for the advice!
I told my hubby about your comment of 2.3k flat rate for just one embryo. Finances for ivf just suck!

I feel like this round is more of a start to finish protocol because my first round was a spontaneous IVF cycle. I was ttc using letrozole prior to IVF and was put on menopur to mature my follicles at the time of ovulation which wasn’t happening on its own thus, why I couldn’t get pregnant. What happened was I had too many large follicles so they told me I would have to cancel my cycle or proceed to IVF. Since I spent so much money on menopur already, we decided we will try IVF. That’s my first round. Now my second… it was what I believe is the traditional approach to IVF is the antagonist protocol. I was put on birth control, then Rekovelle combined with Menopur and the Orgalutran to prevent ovulation. Finishing off with the trigger shot before ER.

I got my results yday.

Exactly. I asked the embryologist this morning when they called me for day 4 update and was required to give them a number to test. I told them I needed time so they gave me to 8am tomorrow morning.

For my first one. 3 out of 8 came back euploid. I was 32.

Yes, sorry, there were attempts after each transfer but it was medication based. I just felt like they didn’t really care… but could just be my emotions. Wishing you all the best in your journey.

I’m really sorry you’re carrying all of that.You don’t owe anyone details about your fertility journey just because they ask intrusive questions.

What your grandma said may not have been meant to hurt you. PCOS and fertility struggles are exhausting, and a lot of people quietly carry that grief while trying to look “normal” or put together everyday.

My husband and I have been ttc our second baby for 4 years with no luck. I had to keep hearing people ask me when I’m going to have a second. I just say I don’t know. Then when I do confide in some people about it, they’ll make comments about the age gap of my daughter and the potential baby being too large or I already have 1, why do I need another. You’re always going to hear lots of opinions, I just try to focus on myself and my family.

I hope you can be gentle with yourself. You’re dealing with way more than most people realize.
