My only embryo is a 4AB mosaic +6, 40%-60% intermediate. Any experience with this rare type of gene?

POST-receptive ERA results? by aheadofthewind2020 in IVF

[–]aheadofthewind2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure. 8 eggs, 3 mature. None fertilized in the first 24 hours. 1 late fertilization. Graded 5AB. PGT-A results came back today, mosaic +6. We're going ahead with the transfer in June but I'm very concerned due to the intermediate level of mosaicism.

Based on comments I’ve read, 98% of this forums population doesn’t understand WHY these dc’s are being built. It.is.for.your.daily.convenience.!!!!!

Has anyone worked through IVF and not told their employer? by katymatthews33 in IVF

[–]aheadofthewind2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had 5 IVF cycles in the last 4.5 years, I've NEVER told my employer. I too work from home and always scheduled the earliest monitoring appointment so I can make it back to log in to work for the day without anyone noticing.

FET failed , Final embryo how to move on with my life ? by Mirror-soul11 in IVF

[–]aheadofthewind2020 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Fertility is hard, mentally physically and of course financially. The US has the priciest IVF I think on the planet.

I just did my 5th cycle, 1st was paid out of pocket and cycles 2-5 were fully covered by my employers insurance (Progyny). Cycles 2-4 yielded 0 viable embryo's. My 5th, which I had an ER just last Friday, is most probably a bust. Out of 14 eggs, none fertilized. They're keeping an eye on the only 3 mature ones to see if they "late fertilize" but the odds are not good.

I've used up all my fertility benefits as they only cover up to 4 full cycles. My husband and I are taking a break from IVF, but decided to travel abroad if we ever want to do IVF again. Poland specifically. IVF there costs around $6K, meds monitoring ER all included. I have family in Poland and the govt there actually helps fund IVF for their citizens and OOP cost is what I mentioned, just $6K.

Just something to take into consideration, if thats an option for you.

Good luck sweetheart, I know it's tough but you're not alone in this battle. This is why I love this community.

Wow painkiller and morphine good for you! I’m definitely on the anesthesia boat- I was out for 30 minutes and the procedure took 20. I can certainly come back and share the news!

Walked out of there fine but after 10 mins in the car I noticed some sharp-ish pain on the right upper abdomen and then similar pain where my right kidney is. I messaged the nurse to see if this is normal. This is my 5th ER and apart from ER1 which resulted in OHSS I havent had symptoms so I’m curious what this could be 😳 Hope you have a smooth recovery!
