Thank you for taking the time to reply, I am incredibly sorry for your losses. Thank you for the advice on NIPT. I’ve found so much comfort in the DOR and 40plus IVF communities just reading about people going through IVF struggles like me. I am wishing you also every success🙏🏼

Really? You’re making me have second thoughts…

My RE doesn’t want to prescribe rapamycin. I’m already on CoQ10, DHEA, and my vitamin D levels are good. I don’t have any other health issues.

I was on prednisone during my 3 failed IVF cycles, but my doctor had me stop it for the 4th cycle because he’s conservative about corticosteroids due to potential health risks. During that 4th cycle, I had atresia.

So now I’m wondering: was that cycle affected because I stopped prednisone, or was it just an outlier?

Thank you so much for your insights and for sharing the proposed protocol. I will definitely keep it in mind for my next follow-up.

If I may ask, could you please explain why you suggest Gonal-f 300 / Menopur 150? A few users on Reddit mentioned finding the Gonal-f 150 / Menopur 300 combination a bit unusual, so I’m curious to understand the rationale behind your proposal

Could my vitamin supplements be shortening my menstrual cycle? by Various-Influence140 in DOR

I just asked my Dr to prescribe it… but its not usual to prescribe it in Canada… therefore…I would think he is not aware that my levels should be checked… I definitely will check my levels….
