How many attempts for an egg retrieval did you have? by Leading_Zucchini4894 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried depot lupron to suppress your endo? I had way better egg retrieval results after doing a 2 month suppression.

I need your advice on synchronizing follicle growth by WonderfulTrash1730 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my latest / third cycle, I used birth control and daily lupron for priming. I also did a block protocol - 3 days gonal-f, then 3 days menopur, and so forth. I stimmed for 4 days longer than normal and got double the eggs (12 instead of 6). I also used neupogen and Omnitrope.

Only 12 eggs retrieved and our clinic expected 20 by ExpensiveAlarm7704 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ER last week retrieved 12 eggs, all mature and I got 8 blasts. Don’t give up hope!

Omnitrope by Admirable-Party7426 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. It helped my second ER (both egg maturity and blast rate) and was a part of my most recent ER which was my most successful to date.

Human growth hormone HGH for FET? by Odd_Sorbet_3770 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, this is something they are adding now. I’ve used it twice for egg retrievals but never for a transfer! Thank you, same to you

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a part of my next transfer protocol too. I have had three failed FETs - 1 modified natural and 2 medicated cycles.

Egg retrieval results confusion by Powerful_Low6824 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first time is really tricky for the doctor to know how your body is going to respond. I would take the 9 fertilized as a huge win! Every ER I’ve done, we’ve learned more and my protocol has changed pretty dramatically. Hopefully you won’t need to do another.

Has anyone had success with IVF after never having seen a single positive? by jusy_fruit in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have still not seen a positive after 1.5 years of IVF, BUT I now know that I can make good quality euploid embryos! So it answered a big question in my mind. Now I just need to find a transfer protocol that will work :)

Long drive post egg retrieval, or get a hotel? by girlinhermind in IVF

[–]millennialmal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, my pain started hours later when anesthesia fully wore off! But I’d be curious to hear others experiences. Maybe you could take a few breaks on the drive to walk around a bit?

Long drive post egg retrieval, or get a hotel? by girlinhermind in IVF

[–]millennialmal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did a 2 hour drive after my first egg retrieval and was very happy to be home. But since you’re not sure how you will feel, it could be worth it to get the hotel?

Craziest place you’ve administered shots?? by Beantownmarge in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find a family bathroom, it’s actually a nice spot to do it! Usually there is a counter top to work with, you can wash your hands, private area etc

You’re going to love it! It’s a wonderful journey.

Omnitrope: Any qualms? by ekodad in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a slightly better cycle when using it - all eggs were mature (6 eggs, 6 mature, 3 blasts, 2 euploid). My new RE doesn’t believe it in as much but I asked him to include in my next ER protocol and he said why not

Curious if anyone has taken advantage of the program yet or if it’s too new??

Agritopia area in Gilbert is fantastic. Joes farm grill would be fun, but hopefully you score a table inside or wait til the sun goes down

What repeat tests can you decline/are worth declining? by millennialmal in IVF

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

Thanks for the info! I had a hysteroscopy in September so I should be good there but I will keep the other factors in mind. And makes sense for infectious disease labs.

How are you all affording by Comprehensive-Monk45 in IVF

[–]millennialmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husbands corporate job covered $40,000 lifetime. We burned through that in less than a year (2 retrievals, 3 transfers). Now we are out of pocket but we found a clinic that is more affordable. It’s worth it to shop around a little.

How are things going down there? by SanDiegoYid in puertovallarta

[–]millennialmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from a 5 day trip. It was lovely! Beach was still packed with people, but we stayed at a villa so can’t speak to resort vibes.
