The bump hates me this morning. I got on my laptop and tried to post but it tells me either "no body" or "10,547 characters to long". Seriously bump, kiss my ass!!!


So here is an informal check in. I updated everything from the week before but can't copy it over and so I got on my phone because it's the only way I can post.


QOTW: do you have a beauty product that you just can't live without?

Good luck everyone!!!!
Fucking bump!!!!

  • Big congrats @pintobean 39! Awesome

    Great retrieval @buttmonkey34. Was there anything different between your two cycles to account for the big difference in the number of eggs retrieved? Fx for a good fert report.

    AFM, I'm PUPO with a 5 day morula. Trying to keep my spirits up. Also afflicted with a cold and pinkeye, just for fun. My spouse thinks I'm too stressed and it's causing my immune system to be weak.

    Official diagnosis: Unexplained IF. I am 32. I have low ovarian reserve (low AMH), and poor egg quality. I've also been diagnosed with mild glandular developmental arrest (lining problems, detected with EFT).

    We are using open ID donor sperm. IUIs #1-7=BFN. IVF September 2014 antagonist protocol, 8R,5M,3F, 5 day transfer of 1 morula = BFN. IVF#2 planned for January 2015 (antagonist protocol + HGH).

  • Holy shit @Buttmonkey34‌ that's a lot of eggs. Take it easy and FX for a good report tomorrow.

    @jessimi06‌ I wouldn't think it's that odd that you aren't on patches. I've see all kinds of protocols. My beta is Friday.

    @emmuffy‌ everything about IVF is stressful and we should all be given a rx of Xanax before we even start. Hope you feel better soon and Congrats on being a PUPO. When is beta?

    @BlueJoan‌ WOW that's a high E2. I hope you don't get OHSS, good luck at ER Thursday.

    @ky29‌ Congratulations!!!! Good luck with Betas on Thursday.

    Fucking bump!!!!
  • @ky29 congrats!

    Beta is not until Sept 29.

  • Yeah for 3 frozen @meld42‌!


    Oh I forgot, I got the results back from the genetic testing of my unknown and it was abnormal too. So we only have 1 frozen if we need it in the future.
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • Congrats on the 5 frozen embabies @Rcvb22‌, and good luck with your upcoming FET.

    Woohoo @Buttmonkey34‌ that's awesome!!! Are you doing a 5dt?

  • @pintobean39 and @ky29 Congrats!!!!!! So happy for both of you!! FX for wonderful betas!!!

    @buttmonkey34 Omg those are great numbers!!!! I'm so excited for you! 17 fertilized!! So the only thing they did differently this time was Lupron? What stims did you use? My RE says he is adding menopur this time to help with egg quality..


    AFM, I had another HSG today, my 4th, LOL. But results are in my siggie... somehow the one that looked like a hydro last time with slow drainage was less "swollen" looking today and the dye pretty much flowed straight through! I was excited to see it and my RE seemed super positive about it. So I have some labs tomorrow and 2 hour glucose test (ugh) and hopefully will start cycling soon... I'm not sure how the glucose and all that would affect it say if I did have diabetes... so need to get that out of the way and go from there.

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary

    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN

    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis

    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5

    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)

    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(


    PAIF/SAIF/All Welcome!

    Before you take anything talk to your RE because some things such as DHEA can cause more problems, they actually need to check some levels before you take it. I'm also AMA (I'm 40) but I can't take DHEA.. I do take ubiquinol, I use to take Coq10 but switched before my IVF.

    I also took melatonin before stims but I think you can take it during stims too. This is something else you need to discuss with your RE, as I've read it can effect your estrogen.
    Fucking bump!!!!
