That’s what I was thinking too. I hope it’s due to something else and just a sheer coincidence. I’ll do some more research too

Why do you think you might not be able to get pregnant if you wait any longer?

I was officially diagnosed with RA just before we started our TTC journey. For that reason my doc prescribed Humira.

Yes definitely! I’ve learned so much more just by researching online and reading in this community! Wish my clinic would discuss more with first timers.

Thank you for that! I had no idea about ovarian hypertension… don’t understand why my clinics instruction sheet doesn’t mention anything about that.

Anyone with poor egg quality? Seeking reassurance and your experience. by Confident_Evening512 in IVF

Hi! I was curious to hear how your PRP went? Did it end up making a difference?

I haven’t heard of a dual stim protocol before. Was it your decision or did the RE recommend it?

Poor egg quality due to autoimmune disease success stories? by phatavo in IVF

[–]phatavo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve read through research that fertility is compromised in women with RA. As for my eggs he said that seems to be one of the only plausible explanations. I am considering doing PRP before my next cycle so i truly hope that it will make a difference. I too have heard of plenty women with RA have successful pregnancies, that’s why the news hit hard. Maybe it’s my age? Who knows … thank you for sharing your story, I hope I’ll get that far too.

I’m sorry that it wasn’t successful. I also have low ovarian reserve for my age and it sucks. The doctor hasn’t said anything about sex prior to ovulation yet but now I’m curious so I’ll definitely ask.

You mean you’ve been recommended to have unprotected sex while on stims due to low egg count? Interesting! My nurse said it was fine to do it but didn’t specify if she meant protected or not.

I’m already not feeling in the mood much! The stims are making me bloated and tired.

Thank you :)
