hello all, we just found out Friday that our 4th ivf failed. We have no frosties but are considering doing it again. I'm wondering if any of you have any suggestions on what to ask the doctor at our consult tomorrow?
You should really post this on the infertility board. This board is for women who have been on the infertility board for 6+ months and have a tie to the infertility community on the bump. Here is the description for this board:
Regardless of where you are in your journey, IF Veterans is a forum for those with an active (6 month+) history on the IF board and an established connection to the IF community (IF, PAIF, and SAIF). Support, compassion, and humor encouraged. This board deals with the emotional aspects of an extended IF history. Visit Infertility for general information and questions
Anyway to answer your question, I would ask about what type of protocol changes would be made, if there are any supplements you should be taking, whether or not he would recommend PGS, and if should you be tested for immune issues or clotting issues. If you are dealing with DOR or egg quality, you might want to ask about donor eggs as an option.
DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, carrier for CF, Moderately high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA
October 2012-May 2014: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed FETw/donor embryos
November 2014: IVF w/ICSI #4 Agonist/Antagonist with EPP and Prednisone, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, and IVIG for immune issues. Converted to freeze all due to lining issues. 2 blasts frozen on day 6!
January 2015: FET #2 Cancelled due to lining issues
Thank you for your input and suggestions. All these boards confuse me I post one place and they tell me to post it somewhere else, is there just a board that anyone going through infertility ivf/iui can just all support each other? Not matter how long you have been on the bump? Thanks a ton!
