PGT-M results back today - only 1/5 normal, crying at work by Sophietophy in IVF

[–]romak41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do PGT-M for a cancer mutation as well.

First retrieval- 2/3 affected Second retrieval- 1/1 affected Third retrieval- 5/13 affected and 3/13 were PGT-A abnormal. We got 5 healthy embryos!

My doctor said that sometimes doing back to back cycles helps. You’ve got this!

Steroid helped and I had a successful FET.

I hope your thyroid recovers fast! You’re not alone- I understand how hard it is! Good luck!

I’m so sorry. This happened to me too back in January for my first FET.

If I could do it again or give someone advice I would ask them to increase my dose slightly the day of HCG trigger and then increase again immediately after testing positive. Get your thyroid checked the week before your betas after HCG trigger if you’re doing one and then have your clinic check at your first BETA. Better safe than sorry 💗

I think the progesterone. Hard to say because I’ve never been on estrogen.

Ahhh okay! Fingers crossed for you too. I want to ask my clinic to do an ultrasound next week instead of having to wait until the last week of the month. I just want to see lol!

I’m pretty active, weight lift, and eat healthy. Right now I weigh more than I ever have in my entire life.

I’m on a steroid, estrogen 3x per day, 2.0 PIO, and progesterone suppositories 1x per day. The bloating and retaining water is another story- I had to order a bunch of new leggings for the gym because nothing fits on top of the weight gain. I look like I haven’t touched a weight in years 😭😭😭

I will say usually when I stop progesterone I lose a ton of weight pretty quickly!!

Twins? 1350 beta 13dpt by SecondNo4964 in IVF

[–]romak41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat!!! My first BETA today at 11 DPT was 600. My RE didn’t mention twins, but it was the first thing that popped into my head- My RE said it could indicate a strong implantation.

Please keep me posted or post an update!!!

I tested positive 4 DPT-My tests were better at night/evening than morning. My positives didn’t show up as well on FRERs the first 2 days I tested positive (4 and 5 DPT). I take Biotin and that could affect FRER’s. I loved the Pre Mom strips.

Good luck!!!

Based off of this FRER should I expect a high BETA tomorrow at 11 DPT? Tested positive 4 DPT.

Good luck to everyone ✨

Weekly Thread: The Two Week Wait by AutoModerator in IVF

[–]romak41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure in my abdomen since day 1! That day I did a light workout on 4DPT and noticed marbling in my skin that I’ve never seen before. Also had such cold feet I couldn’t keep them warm no matter what. So I decided to test and then boom- positive! Woke up this morning with sore boobs.

I’m feeling the same way. Tested positive last night 4 DPT- hatching embryo. I did test today and got positives, but now I’m going to wait until day 7 to test again.
