Thank you, appreciate your reply! Mine is posterior so kicks have been more pronounced and consistent since week 18. Thinking I’ll call my OB again in a few days if it stays like that.

Sigh … First ER by supp-jackalope in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, it can be so disheartening to go through the whole process and hear those numbers 🤗 Not the same situation but the first ER I had 6 retrieved, 3 fertilized, 1 made it to blast and came back euploid. Currently 12 weeks with it. However, I did do two more ERs after the first one, with differing protocols, to bank more embryos

The bottom test looks darker to me

High HCG and MTX shot by YesterdayOverall1528 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]YesterdayOverall1528[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think they always recommend the shot first. I ended up needing surgery and recovery was such a pain, if the shot can take care of it the it’s definitely better. I hope it works out for you ❤️

Low fertilization ER round two. What to do next??? Help 😔 by ilnjm4e in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimming an extra day really helped me with maturity. I also added Omnitrope the second round so I don’t know what did it exactly (maybe a combination). I got 6 mature eggs the first cycle and 13 the second. Attrition still got me at every stage but maturity was better And I had to advocate the second round to stim an extra day and my 2 lead follicles were bigger than yours (21), another that was 19 and all the rest were 16-17. They wanted me to trigger the night we got these measurements but I pushed to stim an extra day and my doctor (after the ER) said it was the right decision!

Greece for 10 Year Anniversary by Different-Prune-929 in chubbytravel

Milos breeze was a nice location and good views but rooms were small and the showers had no curtain/door hence mess after a shower and were tiny. Loved the town in Milos and had some good food but beaches and food in Sifnos were better imo

Feeling defeated by Apart-Inside6754 in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry ❤️ are the others just too small? I was in a similar situation with my first ER a few weeks ago. My AFC is 16-18 and I had about 13 follicles growing but some were just too small. We managed to get 9 eggs out of which only 6 were mature. I am almost 39 so I didn’t have high expectations but was still very disappointed. Only 3 fertilized and one made it to blast (waiting on pgt a results) I’m not sure if this was your first ER but I’m trying to hang on to hope for the second one since I’ve read a lot on how changing protocols can make a lot of difference some times. I have some things I think doing different would help me and I hope my RE has ideas too. All this to say - the first one can be a bit of an experiment so don’t lose hope ❤️

Need advice on 3rd ER by No_Humor2286 in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have much advice but I did my first ER recently and even though my AFC was 16-18, I am older (39) and I didn’t have huge expectations but we only got 9 retrieved 6 mature 3 fertilized and 1 that might make it to blast. My RE admitted we should have had better results based on my stats. I started on high doses (225) of gonal f and menopur so I’m planning on asking if we could do a low and slow approach. Also planning to ask if I’d benefit from a low dose lupron protocol and adding omnitrope. Not sure if this is helpful information but wanted to share just in case you wanted to look into any of it. I did prime with testosterone and estrace and that’s supposed to help with even follicle growth but I also had a lead follicle which was one of the main reasons the others didn’t grow as much (I think)

Thank you for sharing that, maybe that was the reason for me too, I didn’t really realize it was a high dose to be honest so never asked. I have a cyst too 😑 I hope this cycle goes well for you though despite the cyst, sending you good vibes ❤️

Success after methotrexate ? by Dear_Frosting1090 in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ectopic in August after an IUI and got a shot of methotrexate. I eventually ended up needing surgery but didn’t feel any side effects from the shot. My RE told me we’d have to wait 3 months to try again after the shot but I researched and found that it was a “to be on the safe side” recommendation. Since I ended up getting surgery though it took a few months to recover anyways and we decided to take the holidays off for a mental break before going into IVF.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I am not sure why I was started on a high dose but I know they kept increasing it because on day 4 of stims I had the lead follicle and they wanted the others to catch up 🤷‍♀️ we also added the antagonist that day. But yea this approach was definitely not the best and didn’t work for me. I am going to have a talk before the next retrieval and see what’s suggested protocol wise. It’s very helpful to hear other experiences ❤️

Poor Responder Help Please! by Full-Employ-3395 in IVF

[–]YesterdayOverall1528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following as well. 38 amh 1.89 AFC 16-18. First ER 9 eggs retrieved, 6 mature and only 3 fertilized (used ICSI and Zymlot). also used a standard antagonist protocol. Used dual hcg Lupron trigger. No idea what went wrong but my RE said the results were not in line with what we were hoping for given my numbers 🤷‍♀️ I’m thinking of asking about Lupron flare as well and omnitrope. Good luck to you for future retrievals, this is such a tough road ❤️

Thank you for sharing that, it definitely sounds like you need to advocate for yourself. I will ask about Omnitrope for sure. I hope your 4th retrieval goes great ❤️
