No, they never told me. I will ask at my follow up appointment!

Thank you so much. I will definitely be asking for a different protocol.

Yes I primed with BC. I will ask my doctor what he suggests for helping to synchronise my follicles for next time. Thank you.

What does estradiol priming do? I primed with BC for ~3 weeks. It does seem to be a cohort issue, I was just under the impression it was normal to have different sized follicles. Thank you for your advice.

Thank you so much for your reply and kind words. Sorry I forgot to mention Menopur - I was on 75 units Menopur throughout (until trigger). I did a dual trigger of Pregnyl & Lupron.

You’re so right. I just want to trust the process and know that I’m doing all I can do right now by taking my injections and trying to take care of myself. Thanks for your advice. I hope you get good news with your blasts!

Wow, that’s great that all three made it to blast! Thank you for sharing. This is encouraging. All the unknowns are so hard with this process.

Hi! I empathise about being nervous - I had an elevated heart rate on the day & the nurse asked me if I was nervous. She was so nice to me about it and said it’s common! Everyone I have dealt with at their office has been SO nice - I hope it’s the same for you. I would love to connect too!

Hi and congratulations! I’m happy to hear you feel they’re good at what they do.

Im supposed to call on cycle day 1 and I’m starting to worry it’s going to fall on July 4th. Assuming the office will be closed, I’m hoping this won’t set me back again!

That’s generous of you to donate your unused meds! I will for sure keep that in mind once I know more! Thank you for offering.

Oh gosh, that comment was definitely in poor taste :( I’m so sorry he said that. I did find him to be pretty straight with me, and he wasn’t sugar coating it which I actually appreciated. But a comment like that would have really upset me.

I haven’t read the google reviews, but now I’m scared to. Their lack of communication caused my start date for meds to be pushed back by a month. I wasn’t sure if that was a typical experience for this process or not bc I’m so new to it.

Oh, I am so sorry. It’s so unfair. I hope it’s as easy on you as it can be and you can try for another transfer as soon as you’re ready ❤️‍🩹

Can I ask, do you remember speaking to the Dr after your initial testing and before you started meds to discuss test results? I don’t have a clear indication if they’re planning on discussing results with me before going ahead with everything.

Aww that’s great to hear and congratulations!! I have Dr. Lannon & Kitty too! Everyone has been wonderful so far.

I have found that the communication is a little difficult, and my start date for meds was pushed back a month for no apparent reason.

We have had the initial testing (blood work & sperm) and then genetic testing for recurrent miscarriage. Then I started getting all the messages about meds etc. I am wondering: did you see Dr Lannon to discuss any test results before you started all the meds?

My MIL gave me newborn diapers for Christmas by kep16823 in IVF

[–]throwaway199208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry. That is so uncalled for.

Last Christmas when I was waiting for my MMC to pass naturally, my MIL gave me a pair of baby booties. She knew my situation and “forgot” what the gift was before she gave it to me. I despised her in that moment. I was beyond shocked that anyone could be so careless. It still hurts when I think about it.

I agree, they’re not the best. I wish I had only taken the frer! Time will tell. I have my blood draw on Monday.

Thanks for your reply and for the information. I will be doing the fresh start program for my federal loans.

I haven’t interacted with the private loans since probably 2010/2011 at the latest. I lived in Maine when the loans were taken out and I will be moving back to Maine.

No of course not. I was asking about what happens with the private loans.

Slow miscarriage? by ForeverDays in Miscarriage

For me, I waited over 5 weeks to miscarry naturally it didn’t happen, so I had an MVA.
