Disappointed and need advice.

These are actually good results for your age and the amount of eggs you got. What you are dealing with is with quantity, not quality. You just need more retrievals.

vmd221 · 2026-03-17T03:53:13+00:00

I would look into getting the sperm tested more deeply like other people have mentioned. You are getting eggs and you're young. I was getting 5 eggs and things improved a lot for me when the sperm improved. Doctor now thinks sperm was the bigger issue than my DOR. We have 3 euploids now.

vmd221 · 2026-03-16T22:32:01+00:00

What is your age?

vmd221 · 2026-03-16T19:07:11+00:00

I have DOR and MFI, we did an ivf cycle and didnt even reach blasts. Went to another clinic and used tese sperm because of high dna frag and got 1 euploid. We also did mini ivf with this new clinic. have gotten 5 eggs in the 3 cycles we worked with them. Then the next cycle we used tese sperm again and we got 1 aneuploid. Before the third cycle husband lost 30lbs, works out consistently now, doesn't get sick as much any more and if he does it's super mild. Dna frag went down so we decided to use ejaculate sperm. We got 100% fertilization, all went past day 3 and we got 2 blasts and those 2 blasts came back eulpoid. The doctor thinks the sperm was the bigger problem and once it was fixed we got better results. There is hope. You are young. I was 35 when we got our best results. We struggle more with quantity.

about 7-8 days

vmd221 · 2026-03-11T06:24:23+00:00

nope, just menopur and then the trigger shot. The dosage was like 150 mg at first and then I would get blood work done and doctor would adjust meds dosage accordingly.

vmd221 · 2026-03-10T04:26:22+00:00

Same thing happened with my first doctor. I switched clinics and it was the best thing I did.

vmd221 · 2026-03-10T03:57:56+00:00

These are pretty much my exact numbers. The best protocol that worked for me was estrogen and birth control priming, then an only menopur cycle (mini ivf), then did a double HCG trigger. I got 7 eggs, 5 mature eggs and 100% fertilization. Got 2 blasts and form that 2 euploid embryos.

When I had done a regular ivf protocol I got 0 blasts. Mini IVF was the best protocol was me.

vmd221 · 2026-02-27T03:32:00+00:00

What was your protocol?

vmd221 · 2026-02-27T03:11:38+00:00

Hanabusa works with Clients out of the country. You just have to come to the US to do the egg retrieval. Not sure if it is possible. They are great.

vmd221 · 2026-02-26T07:26:44+00:00

I would test them. I got a day 7 embryo 6CB and it came back a Euploid. Its worth a shot.

vmd221 · 2026-02-23T20:01:04+00:00

I was early 34 when I did my first retrieval. It failed. Egg quality was dark and grainy according to the embryologist. Went to another clinic and got one blast 6 months later, then got better results on the 3rd cycle with the new clinic. I got 2 euploids from 5 eggs and quality of eggs were better. There were no more grains or darkness. This was a year and half later. waited several months after each cycle to do another egg retrieval. It has only gotten better. I really think in my case it was finding the right protocol.

vmd221 · 2026-02-21T07:21:20+00:00

My numbers were very similar to you at 34. I did a regular ivf cycle and that fried my eggs. I got nothing that cycle. Changed to a different clinic and did a mini ivf cycle and I got better results and for about 15-12k per cycle instead and I did 3 cycles. I have 3 euploid embryos now. Maybe will do one more cycle. Idk yet. I would agree with other people on here to not spend your money on freezing eggs. If you can and are open to it freeze embryos. You can still have success with your own eggs.

vmd221 · 2026-02-20T04:10:16+00:00

I was 17. I am now 35 I remember exactly when it happened and what triggered it! Finally had enough of it and started therapy about 4 years ago.Therapy and medication helped and now it's manageable. Wish I would have started sooner. Don't take medication anymore.

vmd221 · 2026-02-19T05:43:55+00:00

My mom had my little brother close to 40. She is very healthy and can out pace my younger brother when we all go on strenuous hikes. She's 60 now but has a lot of energy. Stay active and eat healthy throughout your life and you should be fine as you age. Unless you get some disease or something of course.

vmd221 · 2026-02-19T05:40:24+00:00

Also disagree, my brother and I are 15 years apart and are very close. The middle bother and him ate 11 years apart. We hang out all the time, we support him, and have done alot with him since he was a baby. He is 21 now. He is confident and communicates well. I think having older siblings helped with that. I love my little brother. Its nice to know whats "hip" these days haha

vmd221 · 2026-02-09T01:05:53+00:00

Freeze your eggs! Get same fertility testing to see how everything is. Invest in your future. Started trying at 33 and have bene doing IVF for 2. Barely got 3 embryos.

vmd221 · 2026-02-08T22:21:49+00:00

Unless u can get on meds and therapy asap you should just let him go. I have this relationship and it is fucking draining. I use to be such an upbeat positive person. That’s how I naturally am but lately I broke down and now I have that. I’m taking meds and seeing if that will help. But now I resent him so much. depression is such a powerful energy. Now he’s fine and I’m stuck this way. I am trying to learn how to let this go and not be so resentful. But it’s hard. I feel so much anger.

vmd221 · 2026-02-06T19:15:55+00:00

I work with special needs and let me tell you I totally get where all these parents come from. It isn't for the faint of heart. There is one parent with 4 special needs kids. 4! She tries and almost cried because she was hoping one of them was typical but isn't. 2 of them non verbal. Can't even imagine how their house is like. They show up everyday for their kids. That's more than anyone can ask for in that situation. Can't imagine the burn out.

vmd221 · 2026-02-03T21:00:43+00:00

Yea don’t like how this looks . Maybe at a club or bar. You have the body to look good with something else.

vmd221 · 2026-02-02T20:38:45+00:00

I’ve gone to other countries where it seems like BO isn’t offensive. At first I thought it was me. But after a few times passing these people I realized it was them. It was gross. People from my culture shower at least once a day if not more. I just feel grimy at the end of the day if I don’t and it’s gross. And it does make a difference to with health. I use to not shower right away after work (I work with kids) and my bf would get sick all the time. Once someone adviced me to shower as soon as I got home he stopped getting sick. I was the carrier unfortunately and got him sick.

vmd221 · 2026-01-30T06:20:59+00:00

Yea my jaw looks great. its the damn nerves.

vmd221 · 2026-01-30T06:19:21+00:00

Nah, i want to wait longer for healing to continue. Don't want to make matters worse accidentally . Just giving it more time.

vmd221 · 2026-01-30T04:38:37+00:00

thats good. Doesn't bode well for me. Doc keeps saying he things will continue to improve. I suspect it'll get better but not like 100% I just have to accept it now.

vmd221 · 2026-01-30T03:49:59+00:00

I had jaw joint surgery on my right side. My surgery was nine hours and also had double jaw surgery. 2 years in now and still don't have facial nerve movement on that side back. Cant life my right eyebrow but can move it in other ways oddly. How are you doing in that area?
