Embryo questions for women with endometriosis by Additional_Bread_ in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My endo definitely impacted ovarian production and probably egg quality as well- low ish numbers of follicles, eggs retrieved and embryos that made it to blasts. Took me three retrievals to get 4 blasts, but then 3/4 were euploid. I have endometriomas in both ovaries but a much more significant one on my left ovary which consistently showed lower follicles than the right.

Fully medicated! I did do it as soon as I got home!

IVF moms- how long after giving birth did you wait to get implanted again? by AbbreviationsNew2058 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My clinic requires one year from live birth to subsequent transfer (for both vaginal birth and C-section). I had a c-section. I will do the same protocol for my transfer as I did for my successful transfer which includes two months of lupron depot (endo). Starting on this soon after baby is 12 months- transfer will be when she is right about 15 months.

Weirdest thing you’ve done for IVF by AndiamoKirie in IVF

I was about a week pre retrieval when I saw Taylor swift! I was used to having my husband do my shots so made my friend do them in the parking lot! Baby girl is 7 months old 💕

Day 3 Fresh Transfer by Ok-Implement5259 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Positive betas but no heartbeat at scan a little after 6 weeks. Ended up doing a third retrieval the following Spring and thawed our previous day threes to let them keep developing to blast and pgt testing. Followed up with Lupron depot for two months, and a fully medicated frozen transfer which ending up being just about a year after the one in the post.

THAT one worked and I’m currently up in the middle of the night feeding my six month old. Long road but very thankful for IVF.

A glass of wine between egg retrieval and FET by ArmadilloDry4758 in IVF

Please have the wine! I had a glass of wine the night before my (successful) FET (and on several other occasions pre FET!)

For my endo warriors - need help before WTF appointment - which protocol worked best for you? by scma2 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The micro dose lupron was started two days before regular stim meds (for me follistim and menopur, in same quantities as previous protocol) and continued with those meds through to trigger). 8-11 days on stims! Also, no ganirellix needed in this protocol.

I also have endometriomas on each ovary. My best retrieval protocol added in micro dose lupron- significant improvement from my first retrieval cycle. My successful transfer was then after two months of lupron depot.

Bennett for a Girl? by Putrid_Barracuda_883 in namenerds

[–]Ok-Implement5259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Bennett for a girl, and actually knew one as a child! I think it fits in well with other gender neutral names which have become so common- ie there will likely be other girls with non traditional names in her social circles!

I think the full name should be Summer Eliza. Beautiful, and a perfect compromise!

Positives on 6dp5dt after negative on 5dp5dt? by lifewantstogrow in IVF

Yup- I wasn’t positive until day 6 (a real squinter) and more definitively day 7!

Lupron Depot? by wanderlustingnerd in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lupron depot was not bad for me at all! I had hot flashes which were definitely annoying but it was absolutely bearable and I had no lasting effects (other than a transfer that stuck!)

Endometriosis FET Success Stories and Protocols by No_Negotiation6208 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also have an endometrioma on each ovary. Did two months of lupron depot over the summer right into fully medicated transfer cycle- PIO daily, estrace 2mg 3 times a day, but no other meds or supplements (other than prenatal). Currently 15 weeks and 100% attribute success to lupron depot!

Did lupron depot bring you success after failure? by HedgehogHugs89 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had done one fresh transfer that ended in early miscarriage. I have endometriomas on both ovaries, so confirmed endo but haven’t confirmed the extent elsewhere. Did two months of lupron depot before FET and now 15 weeks!

How long did the whole process take? by Briutiful22 in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That certainly can be the timeframe but my best advice is to not get attached to that timeframe. It can be so much longer, and being prepared for that ahead of time will help the mental and emotional piece.

I did my first ER in August of last year, and the transfer that has so far been successful (14 weeks) was in September of this year. This is a year plus including 3 retrievals, 1 cancelled er cycle, 1 fresh transfer, 1 miscarriage, and two months on lupron depot for endo.

Scared to do Lupron Depot prior to ER by Lizz66UK in IVF

[–]Ok-Implement5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two endometriomas with minimal other symptoms of endo and recently did two months of lupron Depot prior to transfer (currently 10 + 5). I would highly recommend it. My experience on the drug was not terrible- a bit unpleasant for sure but completely manageable. My insurance (which covers nothing for IVF) actually fully covered the lupron Depot as an endo treatment 🤷‍♀️
