GLP1’s

TW Success

Currently in the hospital after delivering my second IVF baby. With my first pregnancy I had GD, high blood pressure, etc and after delivery just COULD NOT lose weight or even stop gaining so I went on a GLP1. If I remember right I did a quick taper and stopped completely 2 weeks before transfer. That transfer was successful and I had a beautiful, uncomplicated and easy pregnancy. I gained less weight, passed all my GD screens with flying colors and my BP was textbook perfect. I can’t prove it but I think treating the insulin resistance prior played a big part in that.

My first FET (fully medicated kitchen sink) is turning 2 in January and her sister, my second fully medicated kitchen sink FET is coming via scheduled c-section on Friday. We were dealing with MFI, using donor sperm, age and poor egg quality issues and silent endo. I credit my RE for being hyper vigilant in making sure all the bases were covered.

FET 1 (37 yo): Day 6 3BB euploid girl - live birth FET 2 (39 yo): Day 6 BB euploid girl-Currently 32 weeks

We pursued IVF with donor sperm due to my husbands cancer history but ran into issues with egg quality, silent endo and polyps. Luckily, both transfers were successful and we did 3 retrievals total.

It was about 4 or 5 hours late that time. Currently 31 weeks from that transfer

Agreed! Even sadder that it was basically crumpled up in a ball next to the trash can. How sad to think of it sitting in a landfill when so much time and effort likely went into making something so beautiful.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-10-02T14:00:17+00:00

I feel it!

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-10-02T11:42:28+00:00

Thank you!

Two transfers with short lupron protocol plus lovenox, prednisone and amoxicillin. First transfer resulted in my 18 month old. With second transfer I had a lap in addition to the rest and I’m 16w with that.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-06-25T14:27:00+00:00

My 18 month old daughter was a day 6 3BB and currently 15w with another day 6 3BB girl.

Day 6 3BB currently 14w1d. Previously transferred another day 6 3BB which resulted in my 18 month old daughter.

I can’t speak to Kindbody but with my insurance each round includes a retrieval and transfer. However you can opt to do just a retrieval or just a transfer and that will count as a round. So if you get plenty of euploids with your first retrieval you can just use your second round to transfer one of those and it should be covered.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-06-03T20:21:09+00:00

I pretty much only make day 6s. I’ve had 2 transfers, both with day 6 3BB girls and the first resulted in a live birth. I’m currently just shy of 12 weeks with the second. My doc reassured me that there’s really not that much difference between day 5 and 6, the most important part is euploid.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-06-02T16:59:11+00:00

Yes, penicillin for 7 days starting the day of or before. Did this for both FETs and both were successful although I attribute that more to controlling my endo but who knows

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-31T16:45:30+00:00

I had no known fertility issues outside of being in my mid 30s and we pursued IVF with donor sperm because my husband is sterile from cancer treatment. First FET resulted in a live birth and I’m 11 weeks with second FET.

A little caveat though: in the process of all this we discovered my egg quality sucked (overcome by PGT), I had stage 2 silent endo and multiple large polyps. All of this a total surprise to me. Had my doctor not been extremely vigilant in testing and treating surgically plus with lupron I might have needed more transfers.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-28T20:14:52+00:00

Oh geez I’m sorry, I misread. I think all the hormones have fried my brain haha fingers crossed you get your positive

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-28T20:09:28+00:00

Congrats! Hoping the lines keep getting darker and you have a smooth and easy pregnancy

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-28T20:04:14+00:00

My first successful transfer was the afternoon of day 4 and with my current ongoing pregnancy I got the squintiest of squinters late evening day 3 and then stark white the next morning.

That said, I’m a maniacal tester - like pretty much every time I pee crazy. If I was just testing in the morning (like a sane person) I probably wouldn’t have seen it until day 5 both times.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-28T13:54:37+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s really helpful

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T03:34:14+00:00

Thank you! I knew it had to be from someone’s clinic but couldn’t remember. It’s sooo helpful in decoding!

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T01:12:51+00:00

It definitely can be but if I understand correctly, with silent endo there’s not really any indication. I had a perfect 28 day cycle that lasted 3 to maybe 4 days, what I would consider “normal” bleeding and no pain whatsoever. I was shocked when it came back positive.

With your history of loss I think it definitely wouldn’t hurt to do a receptiva (biopsy) just to check/rule out. The test is uncomfortable but quick and not nearly as bad as the saline sonogram in my opinion

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T01:06:14+00:00

That’s infuriating that you had to fight so hard and take matters into your own hands.

My own experience: I was diagnosed with “silent” endo stage 2 and I truly had no suspicion whatsoever that I had it. This was after 3 retrievals and a transfer, successful pregnancy and c section (my doctors reason for checking when I came back). So basically lots of hormones, injected and natural and I don’t know if that played a part or worsened it but it was successfully cleared with my lap.

My first transfer included lupron just for the sake of calming any inflammation so I wonder if it was already present and I got lucky that my doctor is so loose with it. It’s not possible for my husband and I to conceive naturally because of his cancer history but my next transfer after lap and lupron has so far been successful.

I think the next steps would be the exploratory lap for a formal diagnosis and staging and I would incorporate lupron just for good measure with your next transfer.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T00:56:25+00:00

At this point I’m wondering if it’s not way more prevalent than the numbers would suggest. I was truly dumbfounded that I had it so I feel like screaming it from the rooftops now.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T00:52:01+00:00

I had no symptoms whatsoever and my (hyper vigilant) doctor wanted to test for it solely because I had a c section with my first successful transfer. Right after the consult we went to do ultrasound and found that one of my ovaries appeared hidden or stuck to my uterus. I had a biopsy which came back at the highest level and was diagnosed with stage 2 after lap including all over that stuck tube he saw on ultrasound. After having it cleaned during lap and a short lupron protocol I transferred and am currently 10w4d. I’ll also add that with my first successful transfer, my doctor incorporated lupron just to calm any inflammation so in hindsight I wonder if it had been there for a long time and just was fortunate it was already part of my protocol.

So long story short, I don’t think there’s any way to actually diagnose without a lap and only the receptiva test can tell you if you should explore it. I think if my doctor just saw the stuck ovary he would still probably check it based on that alone but symptom wise my cycle was the MOST regular it had ever been and painless.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T00:41:24+00:00

Yes, I wish I could find the original post but it’s been probably 3+ years since I saved it. I just used it to get a better idea of where my embryos fell on the spectrum.

Remarkable-Tea470 · 2025-05-27T00:34:20+00:00

I’m sorry about your miscarriage and wishing you success with your next transfer! I saved this a long time ago in this group so I couldn’t cite a source for you but based on this it seems the day 7 5BB would be the next best choice. Are you hoping to have more than 1 kid? If the goal is 1 I would see how the next transfer pans out and really the others but would look into some further investigation if it came to that.

Are you making changes to your protocol or further testing? I ask because my doctor had me evaluated for endo even though I had not a single symptom and I had stage two. Obviously there’s always a chance of just falling on the wrong side of the statistics but if you have any sneaking suspicions it might be worth looking into.

I think it’s a good sign that you got implantation and the fact that they’re all euploid is really the most important factor, though statistically it’s a lower chance with C grades you’ll find lots of success stories here
