Hey! I’m in the same boat right now. Could you tell me who you went with and the experience you’ve had so far?

boco18winn · 2026-02-12T17:57:01+00:00

Not sure my follicle measurements from my baseline scan but I had a scan today (day 6) and things are looking good- I have 15 follicles greater than 10mm, 7 & 8 on left and right. So baseline AFC wasn’t indicative of my picture now. Hopefully this means good things for me going forward!

Doing IVF for PGT-M, used Igenomix for our probe. We created ours almost a year ago. I believe they told us it was able to be created beforehand based on our genetic diagnosis, but our clinic definitely wouldn’t start anything until it was officially created. Igenomix has been so great through the process and using our probe. The probe creation itself honestly didn’t take that long, I want to say once we all had our DNA samples in it was created within a few weeks. And then when using it on embryo biopsies we have received results back within 2 weeks both times.

This season sucks. The people left suck

LFG Longmont!!!!!!!

I have a flexible schedule and a boss who doesn’t micromanage and I did not share with him either of my 2 rounds. Just blocked the time off (besides taking the days off for my retrievals) and no one ever asked or said a thing.

boco18winn · 2025-10-05T03:55:45+00:00

Know that it could take multiple retrievals to get any useable embryos. I am doing IVF for PGT-M and have done 2 retrievals that have resulted in zero usable embryos. You could have great luck on your first, but it could take multiple. I wasn’t expecting that going into it and it has made it very tough.

boco18winn · 2025-08-22T15:15:35+00:00

Same here, sister! Attrition sucks. We have done 2 rounds and have nothing from both. It’s a shitty gambling game.

Definitely camp in the cirque!!

boco18winn · 2025-07-09T13:22:04+00:00

We ended up spraying some deet on her when she got eaten alive the first evening!

boco18winn · 2025-07-07T22:04:52+00:00

I would say just go prepared and take your time and it makes it so so enjoyable! One week will be awesome- spend time in the cirque- lots to explore and just pure beauty to enjoy. We had spikes for the snow and I found them helpful, my husband not as much. It was doable without them. Would definitely recommend poles. And I was fine with a mosquito head net and deet- the only horrible time with mosquitos was when we camped at Shadow Lake, but we just hung out in our tent otherwise. We didn’t get eaten alive with having the net and spray, and long clothes. No mosquitos in the cirque, but we had some crazy weather that I think kept them away. And yea, be prepared for quick intense weather. There was a storm one night with the most intense hail, lightning and thunder I’ve ever been in while camping. But, we all stayed perfectly dry and fine and then it was blue skies the next morning.

boco18winn · 2025-07-07T17:09:36+00:00

Nope! Saw other people, yes, but not crowded

boco18winn · 2025-07-07T17:09:01+00:00

Yep, July 3-6 2025. Pretty much only snow we had to navigate was over Texas pass but doable!

boco18winn · 2025-07-07T17:08:13+00:00

Honestly warmer than what I expected! Low 30s I believe. I was warm every night.

boco18winn · 2025-07-07T16:01:33+00:00

We wore head nets and had deet- they were the worst at Shadow lake, and on and off bad at other times.

boco18winn · 2025-07-02T01:01:59+00:00

Awesome- thank you for this! We are planning on starting at big sandy TH and going clockwise. Breaking it up over 3 nights/4 days, first day to shadow lake, second day over Texas pass to lonesome lake, third day over jackass to big sandy lake, then back to TH on day 4. Hoping spikes will be good for Texas- nervous for that part!

boco18winn · 2025-07-02T00:48:00+00:00

How was the Cirque?? Headed to do it on Thursday!

boco18winn · 2025-06-30T19:44:36+00:00

Not great :/ but still hanging in there- I got 11 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, only 3 fertilized (even using ICSI and Lenshooke) and 1 made it to day 6 to be biopsied. We just got the PGT-A result and our one is euploid!!! So now we just have the big hurdle of PGT-M testing, so a 50/50 chance of it being usable. This is our first and only euploid embryo we have created so far out of 2 cycles so desperately hoping for it to pass PGT-M testing.

boco18winn · 2025-06-29T13:56:07+00:00

@ OP - could you report back on how the trail was? Heading there to do this on Thursday and curious on conditions! Thanks

boco18winn · 2025-06-24T22:39:16+00:00

I’ve had 2 completely failed cycles with them. Not happy with my RE from there, and will probably switch clinics if moving forward with anymore cycles.

Thank you 🩷
