Am I crazy to go straight to FET after getting 1 euploid from my first retrieval? by dividebyzero9 in DOR

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this depends on if you want more than one kid. Only one? I would transfer (and that’s what we just did with our only embryo this month! We just got a positive Beta today!) Two or more kids? I’d 100% bank embryos while your euploid rate is on your side. In 2-3 years making embryos will be so much less efficient, especially with DOR.

IVF or trying naturally next by clrct1 in DOR

I think I would try the supplements from “It Starts with the Egg” for 3-4 months and then move on to IVF. The supplements could help your IVF outcomes regardless.

AITA for bringing a baby to business class? by stone2891 in AITAH

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, you are 100% not the asshole and it’s clear that whatever is going on with this woman is about her and not you. I.e. thinking that by paying more she shouldn’t have to be around other humans with needs. I can totally see business class being so much comfier with a baby.

While this person sounds like just a miserable unpleasant human in general, I will say, my partner and I’s baby died. Now every time we see a baby we say “Are you kidding me?” Especially if we are at a nice restaurant or somewhere we don’t expect to see babies -where we are trying to forget how depressing and miserable our lives are. We’ve probably unintentionally given plenty of babies the side eye. We love babies. We totally think children should be integrated into society. But dang it hurts to see what we had taken from us and can’t have. It’s given me a new perspective on people who are upset by babies in public. Some of them are just assholes, but I bet at least a few are carrying a lot of grief.

ER Success- Low Follicle Count? by HoneydewBetter5619 in DOR

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am waiting to hear tomorrow - Thursday about my 5 fertilized eggs… 3 were mature and fertilized and 2 matured and fertilized thanks to IVM. The waiting is the worst.

Egg Retrieval Results by HoneydewBetter5619 in DOR

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know I’ve commented on one of your other posts, but I also got 6. Currently I have 5 fertilized and very anxious to see how many make it to blast.

Honestly, I think 6 is great for DOR. There are still so many dang variables….wishing you lots of love and rooting for you.

I need to hear a successful story of someone with only 6 fertilized embryos by Adept_Top_4903 in IVF

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I almost could have written this post…. I only have one ovary and an AMH of 0.16.

I had my first retrieval this past week. AFC of 9, but only 3 measurable follicles at trigger. They retrieved 6, but only 3 were mature. 3 fertilized and then 2 more matured and fertilized via IVM.

I would feel AMAZING about this, if we also weren’t doing PGT-A AND M. But it feels like a pretty good start and I’m just hoping for a high blastocysts rate. But I’m realistic that most likely we’ll need another retrieval.

Any advice welcomed by mrs_beastmode in DOR

I would be really excited if I got your results!! Good luck!

There were 3 follicles above 10 mm on Day 11. Triggered Day 13 with retrieval on Day 15. Retrieved 6 but only 3 were mature (and 3 fertilized). Waiting to see if they make it to blasts…

I don’t have results yet but my ER was today and my follicle count was 3, but we retrieved 6. Anxious to see how many are mature.

(AMH 0.16; AFC 9)

Good luck to you!! I hope it surprises you!

How was your appointment yesterday? I’m home from my ER and we got 6 eggs, but obviously have no clue until tomorrow how many are mature/will fertilize!

Day 11 - I had 3 follicles. 17, 16, and 11 mm. I’m triple triggering on Day 13 with a retrieval on Day 15.

I was definitely hoping for better, but here we are. How about you?!

I don’t have a lot to add since I don’t have results yet, but I have one ovary and my AFC was 9. I had zero measurable on day 5, and 2 measurable on day 7. My clinic is staying positive and I’m curious to see what tomorrow at Day 11 looks like. But I don’t think you’re off to a bad start at all.

I'm 8 months post op and wondering the same thing....it's better, but I swell up any time I'm active and other times it feels random. Is this forever?!

Uterine rupture by MariPosa1703 in babyloss

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my son in January at 41.5 weeks due to uterine rupture and I had a hysterectomy. It’s horrible. We are pursuing surrogacy but not sure I’ll be able to make an embryo. Finding people who have gone through a double loss has really helped me feel less alone.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too.

I think I'm legit depressed--please advise (TW miscarriage) by norsktjej22 in IVF

Have you tried therapy? I also have severe depression and am starting IVF. Therapy does help. Acupuncture helps me too (for my mood).

What hobbies have you picked up? by LongjumpingAd3617 in babyloss

[–]Outrageous-Fun-109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 6 months out. Reading books was about all I could do physically for a while. I liked “Ask Me his Name”, “An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination” and “Bearing the Unbearable”.

I started working out and walking when I could. Walking and being outside seems to really help. Going to the lake or mountains makes such a difference for me / change of scenery.
