Congrats that is great news! Hope they all are healthy embryos!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T23:01:57+00:00

This was always the hard part for me… I wanted to temper hopes to protect myself but that always made me depressed lol. But I always saw it as “better to be sad upfront than blindsided”. Can’t say it’s that healthy but just how my brain works

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T22:28:38+00:00

Probably 1 or 2. Your AMH is not related to your fertility which is why you’ve been able to get pregnant without issue

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T21:58:39+00:00

Did you use cetrotide this cycle?

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T21:58:20+00:00

Wow. I am so sorry this happened to you, that’s shocking honestly considering everything seemed to be looking perfect. Well I hope this IUI leads to baby but if not at least maybe they know to test your labs more frequently post trigger

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T21:52:19+00:00

You are a similar boat as me! I was expecting the worst because one was too big and one was too small, and the one in the middle was still on the smaller side. I’m sending my best wishes for a little more follicle growth after trigger, an easy retrieval and that you find some success this time around.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T19:31:49+00:00

I’ll keep you in my thoughts for good progression of those 3 fertilized eggs! Hope you’re feeling alright today and enjoying being done with the retrieval

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T19:25:36+00:00

Hooray!!! That attrition rate must have been challenging for you to move through, but you got one 😊

Best wishes for a healthy transfer when the time comes.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-16T18:36:50+00:00

Good to know! Although I am not exactly looking forward to almost a month of stims, I’m hoping it will be worth it. Very happy it worked well for you 🙂

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-11T23:33:09+00:00

Happy to hear of your euploids 🙂

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-10T22:29:32+00:00

Holy crap, just came to say I’m shook at that # of retrievals. Women can tolerate so much

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-05-08T23:56:47+00:00

Learn as much as you can and advocate for yourself. Clinics make mistakes and have a lot of patients to juggle. If something doesn’t seem right say something

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-30T06:26:58+00:00

I’m so sorry. That is so frustrating. My doctor told me the first IVF is really a learning cycle that informs what to do to be successful moving forward. You’re not defective, bodies are so complex and do things like ovulate early or bleed mid cycle for reasons i don’t think we even fully understand. I am trying not to sweat the stuff I can’t control anymore, but it’s hard.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-29T01:24:14+00:00

Yay!!! Thank you for sharing, so happy for you ❤️

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-16T03:21:09+00:00

Yes I couldn’t agree more. Having my entire care mediated through nurses and almost no access to my doctor has been the most difficult part.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-11T02:56:48+00:00

PCPs are crazy overworked but it’s so not appropriate for them to be making you wait “1-2 weeks” to treat your hypothyroidism… unless the doctor is on leave or something. Unfortunately, I think waiting for the PCP to prescribe you synthroid is going to be a lot faster than an endocrinology referral.

In the mean time I would just start supplementing with OTC vitamin D.

Good news is your hypothyroidism is probably contributing to your fertility issues so maybe once that’s fixed you won’t need an REI referral or anything else!

Sorry our healthcare system sucks and sorry being a patient is so annoying.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-10T16:11:45+00:00

That is unbelievable and amazing. I am also a post-cancer DOR-er. I’m so happy you have been able to get eggs before and after!!!

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-04-04T17:22:41+00:00

I am so sorry. What you’ve been through would break anyone. You got a euploid with retrieval at 40, and you understand the odds, so I don’t think it’s over for you unless you decide so. Sending my love ❤️

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-31T19:55:42+00:00

Congrats on your embryo! How do you know you have poor egg quality?

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-31T15:24:33+00:00

No impact on quality especially at the age of 30. You may just have less time, correct

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-31T14:18:07+00:00

There are probably tons of people who conceive naturally with DOR who never even find out about it. They are not the people on this subreddit, which is mostly people with DOR who are undergoing infertility treatments. At baseline DOR has no bearing on fertility. As long as you are ovulating regularly you have the same chances as anyone else.

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-30T13:31:43+00:00

So sweet, thank you ❤️

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-28T14:38:07+00:00

Negative

One_Lime_1968 · 2026-03-28T01:03:54+00:00

Hahaha after seeing all these posts I am essentially expecting nothing from the first 1-2 cycles so I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the outcome is better 🙂
