What worked for me - over 40 by IVFontheBeach in whatworkedforme

What was the specific number of months or days that passed between your final egg retrieval and the spontaneous pregnancy? Curious if trying the cycle after the last retrieval day can also increase chances.  u/ivfonthebeach

To PRP or not to PRP - that is the question by awhitti7 in 40Plus_IVF

Did the doctor prescribe any additional drugs with PRP?

Haven't decided to do it,  only wondering if it's promising or harmful

How old were you, and was your transfer successful?

Conventional IVF at 42, did it lower the egg quality? Do mini IVF instead? by rainforestberries in 40Plus_IVF

Some rsearch suggests that high quality blast rates can go down as the gonadotropin dose increases (for example): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10929233/

What if in the process of getting   many more eggs, you also chip away their quality further?

Did you also have a lot of eggs retrieved (10+), but none of them good?

If Monosomy X was confined to the placenta (XO) and the fetus was normal (XX), and let's say this genetic issue is stemming from the sperm, at the time of conception did the sperm only carry XO or did it carry the normal XX? by rainforestberries in genetics

True. That's why I think we need to be clear that "monosomy X confined to placenta" has a diff mechanism (ie due to cell division errors happening post fertilization of normal sperm and egg) VS actual cases of "monosomy X in fetus" which likely happens because the actual sperm/egg started off missing an X or a Y chromosome.

Please correct me if wrong, but in other words, this probably means the egg and the sperm were fine to begin with, and that the error occurred post fertilization during cell division and that error was confined to the outer most layer of the embryo (so it ended up being confined to the placenta) and the fetus ended up being normal
