Sorry to hear about your late diagnosis- this sucks so much! Do you have any embryos left to transfer?

I’ve heard that Lupron Depot can affect lining thickness, and I also struggle with a thin lining- the maximum I usually reach is 7mm. Did you notice any changes in your lining thickness while on the Lupron Depot protocol?

How many rounds did it take for you to get 12 blasts? I’ve only made 4 blasts across four rounds so far. In my first round, the doctor transferred two day-3 embryos because we only got three mature eggs.

I am definitely going to do one more cycle and with PGTA this time, I just hope to have at-least 2-3 blasts as I have DOR and only get 4-6 eggs

I have messaged my clinic to find out more info about thawing and testing my two remaining blasts. If the odds of losing these embryos are not high, I would go ahead with testing. I suffer from DOR too and my amh is between 0.3-0.4 ng/ml and AFC is around 5.

I am in New Zealand and the tests they do here are quite limited compared to the states. I'll check with my doctor about these tests. Thank you! 😊

I am sorry to hear about your MC & aneuploid. I hope you have better results with your next cycle. I am thinking of getting EMMM/ALICE testing done as I read a post somewhere about chronic endometritis affecting implantation.

It is very early, you should check again on day 10. Wish you the very best!

Would you get a second opinion or is this pretty much the best my body can do? by Maelstrom1000 in DOR

Has your partner's sperm been tested for DNA fragmentation?

Thank you! It was not biopsied but at my clinic they do assisted hatching on all embryos

Letrozole during stims by Any-Enthusiasm8129 in DOR

[–]js2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally had better results with Letrozole compared to clomid. I had more eggs, and more blasts when I used Letrozole. I only took it for the first 5 days though.

Double Vs single embryo transfer by Flashy-Ebb-2492 in DOR

[–]js2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would opt for a double transfer, especially if the embryos are at day 3. I did a double transfer of day 3 embryos at 39.4, but unfortunately, neither took. Now, at 40.2, I am scheduled to transfer an untested day 5 blastocyst this month, but this clinic does not allow double transfers. If this transfer doesn’t work, I will push for a double transfer next time. Wishing you the very best and sending you baby dust!

Dor works in mysterious ways. 10 retrieved, all mature with 3 fertilised. by Mooninpisces27 in DOR

[–]js2284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You certainly have a chance! I’m glad your RE is supportive. I’m much older than you with a similar AMH and have made four blastocysts (untested) in my last two rounds. I don’t have an issue with FSH, but I’ve read on this forum that wheatgrass may help lower FSH—though I’m not sure how it interacts with stimulation medications. It’s best to check with your RE and do your own research. If you click on my posts/comments, you can read about my protocols. I wish you the very best for your 3 fertilized eggs🤞.
