How are these Qs for my WTF in 2.5 hrs????

1 - 8 eggs @ ER, 7M, 5F, 5 blasts @ 5dt, why were there no frosties?

2 - Is there an egg quality issue?

3 - Is there an egg quantity issue (FSH, DOR)?

4 -  Would have a 3dt been better or doesn't matter?

5 - Different protocol for IVF #2?

6 - My P4 levels were low, due to being on Crinone, should we add in PIO next time?

7 - Should we retest my thyroid since my TSH increased when I got my BFP?

What do you think ladies?  Am I missing anything?

TIA!!!!

  • Hey Bella!  I don't have any additional questions for you, but I am anxious to see what your RE tells you.  I had similar stats - 8 retrieved, 7 mature, 7 fertilized, 5 almost blasts on day 5, 3 blasts frozen on day 6 for a transfer at a later date.  Were you antagonist?  Hoping you get some good answers and that egg quality/quantity is not an issue.

  • Sounds like a good list of questions.  I'd also ask about additional testing before the next cycle.   Hope it goes well and you get some good answers!  Good luck!

  • I would also ask about the ectopic itself - why did it happen, just random or could there be another possible issue (with tubes, etc) that might have made it more likely? Should you have a repeat HSG or any other testing to check things out before doing another cycle? etc.

    Good luck!

  • Those seem like great questions. I would also ask why they think the ectopic happened. Wishing you a great appointment! I hope it's really helpful and makes you feel hopeful and excited for IVF #2.

  • Hey- I always asked the doctor

    1. what she learned or could confirm from the cycle.  I never really got a straight answer, but I always asked.

    2. Do I need to do any additional diagnostic test


    Good Luck with your WTF.
