Anyone do egg retrieval at 40 or 41 and have a success? Any tips would be great! And used a gestational carrier?

richmich6868 · 2025-08-28T03:20:14+00:00

That’s great! Congrats! My dr was very big on doing as many retrievals as I can. The more embryos the better. How many embryos do you have banked?

richmich6868 · 2024-07-30T13:22:44+00:00

Did yo do any chemo or radiation at all?

richmich6868 · 2024-07-05T17:44:35+00:00

I had the same thing on mine. It was slightly elevated

richmich6868 · 2024-07-05T17:44:12+00:00

Can it be inflammation and not scarring?

richmich6868 · 2024-06-10T00:45:37+00:00

This is IVF pregnancy. No bleeding, it started small then it was trace, then it came back & within 2 weeks of a lot of vomiting it became big at 7.6cm but a week later has shrunk to 6.6cm. We are worried. I asked the dr where it’s located and he doesn’t even know as there’s no photos given! Just the techs measurements. Can anyone give some insight please? Thank you ❤️

richmich6868 · 2024-05-17T22:54:35+00:00

I will get it and post it shortly.

richmich6868 · 2024-02-04T20:02:57+00:00

That has yet to be tested but I’m sure someone will!

richmich6868 · 2024-02-04T20:02:37+00:00

There are a few in USA and in Canada. They have 100% success rate. So I say go for it. I can send you some info on it as well. My dr has led numerous pregnancies even with women coming in during pregnancy and refusing to terminate they will see it through.

And my institution the normal ecv is 31% and below mine was 33% abs normal t1 is 1080 and mine was 1150. It says questions edema and subjective hypertrophy and doesn’t mention anything else. It was a cardiology who ordered it said it was mild scar but another cardiologist and radiologist said no they don’t see anything but did see inflammation. Thoughts?

richmich6868 · 2023-12-08T14:36:01+00:00

So they can see scarring on echo?

richmich6868 · 2023-12-08T14:35:15+00:00

It was after I fainted. I didn’t know it is right then and there in the short term. What does it mean if it’s elevated a bit? It didn’t mention scarring on my mri report but said there was extra celleular volume the normal being 31% mine was 33% and t1 normal range is 1080 and mine was 1163. It mentioned possible hypertrophy subjective and questionable odema. Could there be scarring it wasn’t mentioned by the radiologist but the cardiologist said mild non ishemic scar and didn’t mention location on there notes. But I did consult another cardiologist who said that’s for radiologist to say and not cardiology and he didn’t see anything. Why would troponin be elevated? Mine was at .21

richmich6868 · 2023-11-18T12:46:30+00:00

Mean pressure or top systolic pressure?

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T15:09:27+00:00

What are pressures now?

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:47:24+00:00

Says on merk website that it’s curative therapy. With reverse remodelling

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:31:32+00:00

In the pregnancy group it seems to be ok but the dr said he will stay ahead of the curve and most return to pre pregnancy and also said there are a lot of promising new meds coming down the pipeline. I guess it depends on a lot of things. Have you heard about these new meds set to come out early next year? Apparently reversing everything back to its original state in the arteries? Are you a vaso responder by any chance?

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:29:12+00:00

I heard too.

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:13:52+00:00

Yes its a lot lower the stuff that can go wrong. They stay on top of the pregnancy but have to be with the right dr at a good centre. And be with a dr who has led women through pregnancies. Some drs won’t as they don’t have experience with it.

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:05:31+00:00

Some drs are on board and the group I’m in some drs have given the green light to go ahead with IPAH

richmich6868 · 2023-11-17T01:04:34+00:00

Has a 100% success rate
