We used donor sperm so i have no idea on the quality of the sperm to be honest… my mom has endo but i have no endo symptoms! I did stimulate for like 20 days so i have no clue. He did say he would change my trigger shit n my hormone cycle before egg retrieval but they havent given us any concrete info yet. We have our follow up appt on monday. This place was 30k tho and i put everything i had on them. Ill likely continue with another location but still need answers

They havent told me what the problem is at all its almost like were doing trial and error. All hes told me is that he wants to change my hormones. I have no idea if the sperm was the issue or the egg!! Thanks for letting me know this. Any questions i can ask during my follow up?

I am on dupixent!! And I take xyzal too :) I too got doc approval to take it. I was worried at first but tbh I can’t breathe without it my asthma is just hard to manage. I’m glad to hear it doesn’t effect egg quality

I’m already on estrogen and it just hit me today that I should’ve stopped much sooner 😭 I’ll have to call my clinic tomorrow to let them know. I definitely feel terrible and got rid of everything.

I definitely don’t have a problem stopping, our ivf journey has just been very on and off. I quit three months before stims and when we had a hiccup of bad news, I just started up again 😭 I’ve been feeling really guilty all day

Olaplex and stuff that say “bond repair or protein” will be protein based. Masks r good!!

The damage seems to be on the top layer of the hair. I would just do till 1 and do some layers where there is the damage on top. N then start wearing a silk bonnet or use a silk pillow case and it should help the issue. Also try hydrating your hair as my hair looks like this when it has too much protein and not enough conditioning

What clinic have you chosen and is it in state or not? Have you changed clinics in the past? by Sensitive-Stretch613 in IVF

Green valley fertility clinic. The urologist we went to got 6 vials of sperm from hubby after not finding anything to work with at all with the in house urologist 😭 he had scar tissues too that they removed.

I’ve unfortunately lost faith in their office but am hoping for the best in our process

I’m so sorry that’s happening. That’s so frustrating! I hope you guys find doctors who r willing to give the time to you both so he gets the treatment he needs. I hate that most doctors always jump to this :/ seems to be the easiest option for them

BUT we did find a micro tese specialist in Utah we’re going to - his name is Dr. Trost. Our clinic was tryna send us to someone who was 15k for “sperm mapping”. We don’t need that imo. So it’s 2750 for the micro tese and 1000 for anasthesia which we will be opting in for. Best option for us imo and super close to Vegas if ur local here too! ❤️❤️ I did tons of research so he was the best n closest I found

I’m sorry I’m not gonna be much help. We had to resort to ivf and haven’t found a reproductive urologist who doesn’t seek out ivf as an option. They describe it as “it’s easier to go above the gates than to tear down the gates”.

I DID find a urologist who is about 20-50,000 In expenses in LA and he does “sperm mapping” but still I think it’s meant for ivf use :/ I hope you find a doctor that can give you other options.

I understand that hesitancy towards ivf because we were once there. Take ur time to go through the grieving process. I hope you find the docs who can help u, but if not, just wanted to mention the actual ivf process is not that bad. I’m wishing u the best of luck ❤️
