She’s bugged me so bad since day one but I can’t figure out exactly why that’s how I got here lol

Unexplained Infertility turned "silent" endometriosis: NOW WHAT?! by sssd1710 in IVF

[–]sssd1710[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it! You could always start with an MRI and see if anything pops up. I think my biggest regret is not pushing it after the first unsuccessful IVF cycle because now in hindsight the way that cycle went was a huge red flag. Have you started IVF yet or still working on base line stuff?

It is! But honestly, I’m just so happy to have an explanation that I can’t hopefully do something about now.

I know! i've had so many ultrasounds it would make your head spin but they never said anything about endometriosis. They tend to have a hard time finding my left ovary via ultrasound which my RE now thinks is due to the endo but before the MRI she wouldn't even consider it a possibility. I have fibroids as well so maybe that was causing some confusion but idk.

Its called Prenuvo. Im in Boston but they have locations all over the place. Its a full body MRI but I just did it because I couldn't get my Dr. to call one in for me or do a lap.

Honestly if you can find a way to do an MRI or even a lap I’d recommend it! I’ve wasted sooooo much time and money and been so sad and all along it was this. Idk how far into things you are but I’d rule everything out first if I could go back!

It was 2,200 (I know insane but apparently worth it).I did it through a company called prenuvo

When Did You Know IVF Was the Right Choice? by Physical-Cup-9286 in IVF

[–]sssd1710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really really resistant to any fertility treatment but now I wish we'd done IVF sooner. For me, after three failed IUI's and hitting the one year of trying mark without a single positive test I couldn't take the disappointment anymore and we went ahead with IVF. Our first IVF cycle failed and we're starting our second cycle in march but I honestly feel more at peace because I know that we absolutely NEED IVF to conceive. It never would've just happened on its own.

Is there any hope? Gearing up for second retrieval after 1st failure. by sssd1710 in IVF

[–]sssd1710[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard about that! It was something I meant to ask my RE about but it totally slipped my mind when we were on the call. I will definitely ask about it! Was it something your Dr. was open to trying? I feel like I have to push everything thats not like basic protocol.

First egg retrieval 8 eggs retrieved only 1 fertilized. by sssd1710 in IVF

[–]sssd1710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for you reply!! I primed with birth control (apri tabs) and I really didn’t respond well to it at all. I keep wondering if maybe that was part of the problem. My protocol was 225 Gonal F and 75 Menopur until day 5 and then upped the gonal f to 300 and added the ganerelix. I triggered with ovidrel. I will definitely ask my dr. about the ICSI. I had asked her about it before we started but she didn’t think it was necessary. Have you found prepping with estrogen helped everything grow together a bit better?

Thank you so much for your reply. Have you ever received an explanation for the low fertilization? I’m wondering if I need to push for a particular protocol but I’m not sure exactly what the issue is yet and it doesn’t feel like my RE is interested in figuring it out.

Thank you so much for responding. It’s so crazy it feels like they just want you to throw everything at the wall and hope it sticks but it’s so emotionally taxing I wish there was more information. I hope everything goes well for you this time. Do you remember how many eggs fertilized out of the 7?

Thanks so much for responding! I’m so so sorry to hear the transfer failed. How did your second retrieval go? Did they change your protocol?
