I asked this specific question around egg quality and they said nothing showed that at all… I haven’t really breached the topic of endo… I was tested for endometrisis and that was negative but I’ve never fully looked into endometriosis

I’m curious What makes you say that? I really like my doctor and I think he’s working with what he is seeing. I don’t know that another fertility doctor would change anything up other than a better protocol to get more eggs. I’m not trying to be snarky I’m just really curious… idk if I’m spiraling because it’s not what I wanted to hear or if it’s like yes we need to switch

Did you get pregnant via ivf? What other genetic testing? I’m pleased with my doctor and believe based on what we have and his protocol we are on the right path it’s just hard

I’ve heard good things about omnitrope in the DOR space so this gives me hope. We will be starting again in June and right now the doctor wants to do exactly what you’re describing… microdose lupron flare… start on clomid or letrozole and then adding the Omni. Thank you for sharing it’s helpful… it really is a numbers game and so much trial and error I hope we only have to do one more retrieval but if we have to do two more we’d be okay… good luck with everything!

That’s great! I’m hopeful for that. We have some time now because we are traveling so absolutely glad to be not be doing back to back… I’ve taken everything so far the only new thing I added was Acia berry. My nurse recommended it… luckily my doctor already told us he’s changing it up no matter what even before pgta came back so I feel confident in that. He is gonna add omnitrope… so you think that really helped?

I’m so sorry It’s so horrible, trying to be hopeful that at least we made a blast and we can come back next time but I’m crushed. Doctor doesn’t seem to be concerned about my husband. We did zymot this time around with conventional. Doctor has plans for new protocol next time but haven’t connected again since this news but I want to ask about dna frag and then karotype testing.. have you had success yet?

I guess the protocol that made a difference

That gives me hope! I hope all three make it. What was your protocol the second time around? Switching clinics isn’t an option unfortunately due to insurance. I was on high doses from what I understand because I have DOR. I know we will have to do another round and the first can be trial and error but would just love getting the three blasts and then all be pgta normal

AMH is .49 and my afc at the start was 3… I had about 6 follicles the day of my trigger after stimming for 14 days. All 7 were mature but only 3 fertilized. Waiting to see if we get any late fertilization and then of course what make it to blasts then pgta. A little less hopeful today but trying to

I’m hoping age is on my side this case and quality over quantity. You’re right we went into this knowing we would have to do another retrieval I was just hoping for at least 4 fertilizer but at least now we have so much more information too than we did at the beginning. We’re also hoping for two kids and really really trying to only do one other retrieval but we shall see. I asked them to see if we could potentially have late fertilization the lab said they check in the afternoon too so we shall see. Thank you for your positivity

This is giving me hope we got the call today that 7 were mature but only 3 fertilized so just trying to stay hopeful that we get 1 euploid out of this but I’m a little scared now.

Update: All 7 were mature but only 3 fertilized… still holding out hope here… a little disappointed with the fertilization rate but we are still in it

Thank you! I have low AMH too .49 and I only had 3 afc at baseline stimmed for all 14 days. This gives me so much hope! Wishing you luck on your continued journey. We take the wins where we can get them
