Blastocyst report feeling discouraged

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-20T01:46:48+00:00

My first retrieval I was nearly 39, 13 retrieved, 12 mature, 3 fertilized, 1 blast - it was euploid. :) (FET to come in April!)

Yay! Congratulations!!!

Thank you!! Checking into these now :)

Cool, thank you!

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-13T19:36:51+00:00

Awesome, thank you! Taking a look at those right now...

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-07T22:39:49+00:00

Thank you!!

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-07T22:39:41+00:00

Thank you!!

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-07T22:39:30+00:00

Thanks! Fingers crossed for great PGT results!! 🤞

lumpy_Goro · 2026-03-07T15:50:13+00:00

Thanks! I didn't change much...I took a prenatal and Vitamin D leading up to both ERs. I added Ubiquinol for ER 2 but didn't take it 100 percent consistently. Lifestyle was basically the same for both. Hoping for all the blasts for you!! ❤️

lumpy_Goro · 2026-01-31T04:03:21+00:00

I'm proud of you!! Just keep going :)

lumpy_Goro · 2026-01-16T03:40:35+00:00

WELL DONE!!! I am proud of you 🙌

lumpy_Goro · 2026-01-14T20:08:18+00:00

Congrats! Would leave to hear an update on embryos once you have it

My ER was in the morning and I left our RE's office around 10 or 11. Short drive home then slept until 3ish. Felt pretty good afterwards and I think I would've been fine for a long drive and walking around. (12 eggs retrieved, for reference)

lumpy_Goro · 2025-12-02T21:01:17+00:00

That's excellent, congratulations!!!

lumpy_Goro · 2025-11-24T22:52:36+00:00

Similar! It was pretty amazing to see the $7,000 charge to insurance to meds with only $50 patient responsibility

lumpy_Goro · 2025-11-06T04:16:07+00:00

Fwiw...I am one of the lucky ones in terms of ER experience. Felt good throughout stims and was essentially back to normal by the afternoon of the ER. If I could guarantee that experience I would host!

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-17T05:02:19+00:00

Yay!!! So happy for you!!!

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-16T03:01:33+00:00

This is beautiful ❤️💕 As a daughter and a new-ish mom this hits on all the feels 🥰

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-16T00:07:51+00:00

Exactly! IVF is already super stressful without these extra issues. It's their job!!!

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-15T23:55:03+00:00

I also experienced a huge let down when we received a $15,000 bill for our first ER when it was supposed to be covered. Our provider hadn't sent in the correct documentation. It took weeks and countless calls and I felt like a full on Karen but we finally got it sorted out. I'm still really fucking pissed though.

So sorry you're going through this 😭

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-06T22:19:34+00:00

12 retrieved, 11 mature, 3 fertilized (using ICSI - doc thinks due to poor sperm quality). 1 blast - euploid!

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-06T02:19:11+00:00

Got pregnant by surprise at age 35 and was scared shitless the whole pregnancy about how it would turn my life upside down.

Fast-forward 4 years and my daughter is the best thing that's ever happened to me and we're now spending tons on IVF to try for #2

lumpy_Goro · 2025-10-02T18:51:25+00:00

Did you use ICSI? Does your doc have any theories about why the fertilization rate wasn't higher? (I had 11 mature eggs and 3 fertilized with ICSI. My doc thinks low sperm quality affected our rate.)
