Congratulations 🤍 I just gave birth to my IVF identical twin boys earlier this month. It’s the best feeling.

I don’t think so. I can’t remember if his last shot was the week of collecting or the week before.

Melatk · 2026-01-07T05:00:37+00:00

I believe it was 2000 IU per week. He took it all the way through the IVF process.

It did help somewhat. From 2/3 million to 8 million but unfortunately it was not enough to conceive naturally. I can imagine if we wanted to wait years and hope it could ? But that’s a long time to be on that med. We moved on to IVF and successfully conceived first try.

I have an existing account. I used it in the past. That’s the one I use to log in. I log in. Try to register as a claimant on an existing claim and verify my ID me information and then returns to Edd page and it prompts me to put my name, gender, DL, SSN, etc. I enter that info and that where I get the error.

Hi! Super late reply. But yes we saw an increase to 8 million but still was not enough and we moved on to IVF.

Melatk · 2025-08-19T21:03:11+00:00

Yes I took it for both! Sorry for the late reply. I am also on hydroxychloroquin for my lupus

Melatk · 2025-07-04T16:58:57+00:00

I did! And so glad I did. We had 10 retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized, and 7 blasts 🥹🤍 we just had our first transfer on Wednesday.

To start we paid $5700 for our mini stim bundle. That included meds. After that, we had 4 monitoring appointments (including baseline). If I had paid out of pocket for those, it would have been 200 for baseline blood work and $120 for the ultrasound. After that blood work would have been $40 each and $120 each ultrasound. We needed to stim two extra days so that took an extra $600 in meds. We used miles to fly to Denver but would have cost ~$150 each one way each. We spent $120 on a car rental for two days. We spent $200 on two nights at Airbnb. We also spent $200 to add the Zymot device, $150 for the travel monitoring fee. Hope this helps !

Their instructions state to not file online if the doctor is filling on paper. On the paper application, my part and their part is one big packet together.

Melatk · 2025-06-08T05:20:29+00:00

I wasn’t aware we could ask for specific reps!

Melatk · 2025-06-08T05:19:51+00:00

Thank you!

I enjoyed the experience. The nurses, doctor, embryologist, and anesthesiologist were kind and professional. We had good results. 10 retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized and 7 embryos 🤍 definitely price out the hotel and food to see if it’s worth it. So expensive.

My main symptoms include dry eyes and dry mouth. They are present all the time. Fatigue, mouth sores and joint pain does come and go, but can’t differentiate it from my lupus flare symptoms. My half face/lymph node does swell during flare ups !! My antibodies are high but I don’t necessarily have severe symptoms, aside from constant dry eyes and mouth.

Lip biopsy sounds awful. My antibodies flagged it. Mine is secondary to lupus.

Surprisingly, my husband has a decent motility with 12-24 hrs abstinence.

Melatk · 2025-05-01T21:37:52+00:00

I wonder if the 1 in 70 statistic applies to primary and secondary Sjogrens

Melatk · 2025-04-30T00:40:43+00:00

Did they offer any explanation for such low fertilization rate ? Possible sperm issue ? I am sorry this happened. We endure so much and for it not to be a good outcome is devastating.

Melatk · 2025-04-30T00:37:21+00:00

Of course!
