This group is open to anyone who has Diminished Ovarian Reserve or Premature Ovarian Failure (sometimes also called Primary Ovarian Insufficiency ? POI).
This check-in will be posted each Wednesday. If you?d like to be added to this group, please reply to this message, and I?ll make sure to add you for next week. Welcome to the lurkers! We know this can be a difficult journey, but we welcome you with open arms. Let us know if we can answer any questions.
GRADUATES ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO POST!
Status Update: What is going on in your cycle or where are you in your process?
QOTW: Have any of you had the problem of having a dominant follicle early on, or dropping E2 levels before O? I have them and they think I?m going to O early, but then instead of ovulating early the follicle hangs around and my E2 levels just begin to fall. If so, what have you done to combat that problem? Has it worked? Thanks!
BFPs!

Re: ~*~DOR/POF Check-in~*~
Hi ladies. I hope everyone is doing well this week. I'm stilllllll waiting
I'm doing a little better this week. I spoke a little more with my GI doctor and he was willing to write me a letter BUT my RE is still not satisfied. The plan still stands to go to MGM on April 10. I'm anxious and nervous for that appointment now. I'm tired of everyone telling me what could possibly go wrong and everything. I'm aware and we want to at least try.
Ceemonkey...obviously I've never had this experience but I hope that someone else will have some advice for you. Good luck.

They upgraded the quality of our embie to a grade 1. I'm not sure how you go from a grade 2 to a grade 1, but I?m not going to question it or complain.

I have started my mock cycle. I am in varying amounts of estrace. Pretty boring update.
QOTW: I have always had a lead follicle early on with exception to my EPP cycle (which was a complete utter failure anyways). I have read that EPP does a good job of preventing a lead. I have not had my E2 drop like that though.
Concrats to MrsLouie!
mm19 - Fx for you!
Update: I am really struggling with sudden and intense depression. I'm not sure if its caused/ intensified by my hormones regulating after the IVF cycle or what, but I am a pretty miserable person these days. We'll be cycling again in May.
QOTW: Sorry, I have no experience with this.
Dx DOR (AMH .49), Stage 3/4 Endo, Septate Uterus
After 2 years, numerous tests, abdonimal surgery, and 2 IVF cycles, we are so grateful to be expecting.
Transferred 2 "perfect" 8-cell embies 6/12. Beta 1 6/25: 472! Beta 2 6/27: 1055!
First u/s shows TRIPLETS! WHAT?!?! Both embies stuck and one split. OMG
Levi, Henry, and Amelia were born healthy at 34w3d.
So sorry lovekatespade, I know this is a rough ride. Have you talked to your doctor about it? IF is so hard...
Update: We sent in our paperwork for our donor embryos so we just have to figure out now when we want to cycle. Then we'll get all our testing done.
QOTW: I have heard it's an egg quality issue if the E2 drops. I generally have a lead follicle early on in my cycle but my cycles are shorter anyway because of that and elevated FSH levels.
