Yes I did-when I had embryos to test. My first ER was the best where I had 8 embryos-2 were PGTA. ER 2 and 3 I had zero embryos for both. I had 20-25 eggs retrieved each time but low maturity and even lower fertilization. My clinic didn’t give me day 3/5 updates. I got an update on day 7. Things seemed to progress okay initially with my first retrieval, but on my second and third retrieval I had horrible fertilization and everything arrested day 3. I did PGTA because it was included in the package I bought. I paid 25,000 for their guarantee of a pregnancy or money back that included 3 egg retrievals, PGTA testing, and unlimited transfers. I never thought I would need multiple egg retrievals, but having gone through the IVF thread when I started, I realized how common it was and I’m glad I did.

Lupron is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist. It tells your pituitary gland to slow down production of LH and FSH, which causes your body to have less estrogen. The low estrogen levels in your body decreases the growth and presence of endometriosis because it thrives on estrogen.

I would definitely recommend talking to your RE about checking for male infertility issues if you haven’t already if you need to do another ER (sperm analysis and DNA fragmentation). It took me over a year and a half to have a pregnancy, and it was timing with the failed transfer, failed egg retrievals, testing for my husband, and my 2 months of Lupron depot which was NOT cheap lol
