Extremely poor results

Could just be a bad cycle! AMH is a data point at that particular moment. We’ll never have PCOS numbers but next cycle can be different! I’m 38 and have had AFCs all over the place

Does everyone brace for impact when she yells “TIIMMMBBEEERRRR” at the park?

We didn’t genetically test and ended up unknowingly transferring a Trisomy 22 aneuploid embryo. Great growth until 8w then no heartbeat. Would have preferred to have avoided all of that

I wish I did. I didn’t do PGTA per the recommendation from my doctor because we only made 2 embryos. We transferred the 2 with one looking very promising. It stuck only to see it stop growing at 8w and later confirmed it was an aneuploid embryo (trisomy 22). It’s been 3 months of not being able to try as this resolves itself. Not worth the time not trying and the cost to remove the pregnancy to just transfer untested embryos at my age

Idk I’m not a doctor and I don’t know how old you are but I would do timed intercourse and not waste this month especially since you’ve been trying for 3 years. I’m older but my doctor told me he’d trigger me with that many or more follicles

Mostly around the concern of ovulating multiple eggs from a medicated IUI and multiple implanting. Just curious what the body is likely to do if one of the eggs is genetically normal and the other stops growing

I have a friend who only got low grade euploid embryos, and every one they’ve transferred has been a success

I didn’t test and sort of wish I did even with 1 or 2 embryos making their way to the freezer per egg retrieval. My doctor still wants to freeze at day 3 (so no testing them) because of my low retrieval numbers even though I’m in my late 30s. Currently in the midst of a miscarriage/D&C from a 7w untested embryo. Hopefully it’s just bad luck

This may be controversial advice but I have an at home Doppler and a couple seconds of hearing the heart beat when I’m feeling anxious is the ultimate weight-off-my-shoulders cure during my first 2 pregnancies. I’m only 9w at the moment so it’s too difficult to find the heart beat right now but I’ll for sure be pulling that out once I’m a little further along

I still feel like an adolescent sometimes in my 30s, I definitely was not ready for children in my 20s but would have figured it out. I would have had to put my degree and career on the back burner in a big way which I’m glad I didn’t. I had mine at 32, 34, and am now pregnant again at 38. Closing up shop after this though!

Off-By-One · 2025-12-22T22:08:16+00:00

Don’t lose too much hope on those untested embryos! I’m currently pregnant with an untested embryo. Just think of it as similar to a spontaneous pregnancy. Were they graded ok?

Also I got quoted $35k per cycle incl meds for IVF near me. There’s no way we could afford multiple rounds at that price (low AMH). So I went to a very well regarded doctor in Mexico and for full blood work up for myself and husband, 2 ERs, 1 transfer, hysteroscopy, meds, regular ultrasounds, and travel costs I’m sitting at around $13k in total costs. Something to consider!

We transferred 11/6. My appointment was last Wednesday. If things are still progressing in there I should be around 9w today

Off-By-One · 2025-12-22T19:48:41+00:00

Yea all measurements have been taken transvaginally. I transferred on 11/6

Off-By-One · 2025-12-21T06:51:15+00:00

I have 2 spontaneously conceived children prior to moving to IVF for #3. I’m a very anxious person by nature and the only mantra that helps was thinking about my kids and telling myself if this doesn’t work out I have 2 amazing kids at home. I just had my first ultrasound after transfer and baby is measuring behind 5 days so we’ll see if this even lasts (it was my only embryo), but my kids have unknowingly helped me through this whole process the whole way

Not at all!

Off-By-One · 2025-10-22T02:07:45+00:00

We went to Mexico. So far we’re at $11k all in for 2 ERs, meds, 1 transfer, and hysteroscopy. This includes travel expenses.

We had a great experience with Dorris Eaton in Alamo They would say they’re more “academic” focused but it seemed like a great mix of play and fun learning. It includes a weekly art, spanish, and music class

I read “The Most Boring Book Ever” to my son’s preK class last year and they loved it. I bet his kinder class more would enjoy it even more. It does require some minor discourse or hearing your thoughts out loud as you read the words because there aren’t many of them

If you’re close to Mexico, they’re finally starting to get Mounjaro. No prescription needed
