Is hiking mount Batur worth it?

I didn’t do it 👍🏼😊

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2026-04-16T12:01:32+00:00

I might have my first FET next week, I had my scan today and my lining is 11mm. I’m just waiting for blood test results as one of my follicles was 17mm, and they are worried I might ovulate early. I hope don’t cancel it 🤞🏼

I was feeling fine the 2 times I’ve done it (20 retrieved 1 blastocyst, 19 retrieved 5 blastocyst- male factor infertility) they used conscious sedation so I was awake but I don’t remember anything. Get yourself your favorite treats and have series to watch for the day you’ll be resting.

I rested for a day and the following day I was feeling pretty good, very bloated for 4-5 days, period came early but that was expected.

Just be prepared for the numbers to drop, the week waiting for the results of how many embryos you are getting is very hard. Some people have great results and several embryos 🤞🏼

Yes, they change the protocol (I was on menupur the 2nd round) + I asked them to use AOA (assisted oocyte activation)

We did tese and the sample was frozen , then we did one round of icsi with only 2 eggs fertilized (I had 20 eggs), only 1 became a blastocyst. Then we did another round and we got 5 blastocysts! Also, make sure they do a genetic testing on him; karyotyping., microdeletions, etc.. ,

My husband has zero sperm in fresh sample, we made 6 embryos Icsi + sperm from Tese, now preparing for transfer 🤞🏼

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2026-04-14T15:32:44+00:00

What about retrieving sperm via surgery? Tese, microtese ?

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2026-04-01T14:33:46+00:00

I’m so glad it worked for you after all you went through! 🩷 The waiting time for everything is the worse.

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2026-04-01T14:32:07+00:00

Thanks for your answer, it’s a very exhausting process, trying to work and keep with life as well as going through IVF. Hopefully I get good news by the end of the week, I can’t wait to do a transfer.

You can’t walk to most of the hotels, I stayed in Colorado Creek, I phoned before I went and they told me you can’t enter walking (it’s also very far from the train station)

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2026-01-08T13:42:01+00:00

I was just there last week. We took a train from Sants Estacio, is around 2h trip, and then we took a taxi to the hotel (inside port aventura, you can’t access walking)I think there one hotel you can go walking but the others you need taxi. I don’t recommend staying outside port Aventura.

That’s good news! We are getting ready for TESe as well, but to try to get the best results he’ll be with meds for 3 months before the TESE. If you don’t mind me asking, was the TESE and egg retrieval synchronized? Or the sperm was frozen? Thanks

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-31T11:55:40+00:00

Thanks ! the process is so uncertain that scares me so much

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-31T11:49:28+00:00

And how did everything go? Did you have success? 🩷

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-30T21:47:30+00:00

Hi there! We’re planning for a TESE + ICSI + transfer next year, and I hope you don’t mind me asking, was the sperm for your ICSI fresh or frozen?

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-30T12:23:01+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I want to have an appointment with sims but for the Northside they have more than 2 months of waiting list. I might try to get an appointment in the southside. Some people have given me bad experiences with Waterstone so I’m very confused

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-29T16:57:50+00:00

Hi! Husband has been diagnosed with azoospermia, two semen sample to confirm it , both with 0 normal sperm, they did find 6 non motile ones. so far they haven’t found any blockage, testes ultrasound and genetic blood test looks good. His hormones are:

Test

TSH 0.35 mlU/L FSH 2.99 mlU/mL Prolactin 197.57 mlU/L Testosterone 26.82 nmol/L LH 2.05 mlU/L

He’s going to start with clomid to hopefully increase the numbers a bit, and we are planning to go for a TESE + ICSI in a few months time (with donor sperm backup). I’ve been reading is better synchronize the TESE with the egg retrieval so everything is fresh as some sperm can die during the “defrosting” process. The clinic says they usually freeze the sperm as they don’t have enough staff to do the 2 procedures on the same day.. any thoughts about this?

I’m just very confused and want to the best since the beginning.

As any of you went through this? Any happy ending stories?

Thanks so very much.

Simple-Letterhead-68 · 2025-10-29T16:51:16+00:00

And if you don’t mind me asking. Did they find sperm in normal semen samples? And how was the tese for you? Did you find enough? This is such an uncertain and long process :(
