@tosh24 thanks lady:). When I was put on my FET protocol I was so nervous about taking Lupron because it had never been a part of any of my retrieval protocols. But I’ve been taking it with no issue. That being said, I am taking it alongside of estrogen so I’m replacing a hormone that the medication would otherwise be eliminating so I don’t know if that would make a difference. It keeps away the symptoms of menopause, that is for sure and I am not excited about that for close to 3 months! I’m still really nervous about being on it so long term...and the concept of any medication with a half-life as long as the depot is terrifying. The little insulin needles on the 2 week lots aren’t bad, so it doesn’t feel like that big of a deal for me yet compared to all the other shots I’ve had to deal with on all my stim cycles... ...but I bet it would start getting old kinda soon, haha;)

@Adc0417 I am so sorry about your grandmother:( it is very sad to loose family even when they are older. I hope you have lots of happy memories you can cherish. I’m sorry you aren’t having a great response this cycle. I’ve never used Lupron outside of for my FET which is now becoming my ERA cycle instead so I can’t give much input. I have heard it work for some DOR ladies and really not worked for others because of over suppression:(
@emmasemm I can’t believe results are in and you still have to wait till Thursday??? Talk about a long weekend!! I hope it flies by and the news is good:)

@adc0417 sorry it’s a slow rise. Fx it picks up tomorrow.
@hopefuljj the results were only held up due to Easter. Normally if they were in Thursday they would release them to us if there was nothing of note, or do the consult the next day. We chose not to have the consult whilst visitors were here, so Thursday is the first day.
***TW kid talk***
We have my brother, his wife and their three kids staying with us - here for five days. It’s fun and great to spend time with them, but also been extremely tough on both DH and I with us wanting more than ever to have our own and not just spoil our nephews. Also the difference in parenting styles and what is acceptable behavior differs greatly between people - my brother definitely is at the liberal end, whilst we’re not military style we do believe kids should have some structure (eg it’s not ok to write on other people’s walls... and if you’re big enough to use a knife and fork properly you should also know not to take handfuls of food and mush it into the seats...). We have had some great moments, but also some tense ones. And we will have to repaint a few sections of wall after they leave... On the plus side it tested out how we use some areas of our house and I would like to make a few changes before we have our own so things are more practical. And every evening DH and I discussed how we would want to handle certain situations which I think is better to do before they happen, not argue about it whilst you have a tantruming child!

@emmasemm- anxiously awaiting hopefully good news for you on Thursday! That is hard with family. We have some nephews/nieces too and some of them its not a good situation, so its really hard not to judge. Hopefully you will have your own soon to focus on and spoil (but not too much of course!)
AFM- well I about had a heart attack when I saw my RE calling. The nurse usually calls or emails with good news and the RE calls with bad. So I was freaking out as she took her time pulling up my ERA results, but I am RECEPTIVE with 4 days (96 hours) of progesterone. She also said there was no inflammation noted, so that is great. We are a green light for FET on 4/30! I am SO thrilled and hopeful that this will give us success. There is a small part of me that wish I had pushed for the ERA harder before donor eggs (I did ask and my RE was pretty sure it was my eggs). I mean out of 3 IVF cycles, we only had two early blasts at day 5 and who knows if they would have made it to freeze and been normal and stuck, but part of me thinks we would have tried one more time if we knew about the post receptive issue. I asked if my natural cycle is also likely receptive at 4 days past ovulation and she thought probably. If that is true, a natural pregnancy will never be an option for me since no embryo is a blast and ready to implant 4 days after ovulation. Overall I feel good and just trying to believe this path was God's plan for our babies to come to us.

@jamieh2000 fantastic news!!! That’s so good you got a clear result this time! I also understand the kind of tinge of sadness that even with good news now, the questions of what might have been creep in. It’s only natural. Especially when even with super eggs you don’t get implantable blastocysts on day 4.

@JamieH2000 so excited for you!!! It’s so normal to look back and think what if this and what if that. But now you have exciting things coming your way, so try to not look back, just forward. As for me, my estrogen went up some more and have 2 follies. Will repeat BW and US friday. Taking one day at a time and keeping expectations real low
@adc0417 one day at a time is good:) I’m glad the estrogen went up some. Hoping those are two very golden follicles!
@jamieH2000 I am so thrilled that you have found your receptive window!!! I can’t believe it! I am so so excited about your upcoming transfer!! I totally hear you on the bittersweet part of things, the universe has led you down this path for a reason. You are doing everything right.
AFM My ERA is the 11th. The date I would have been doing FET originally. Jamie, We would have been so close together for transfer:-/
question....do you need pain killers for ERA? I’m driving 2 hours out to this clinic and just want to make sure I’m ok driving myself back. Last biopsy I was under twilight anesthesia so I have no idea what it felt like but I was fine after.
I went in for blood work and scan and had a 11mm lining and it was trilaminar so I’m sad to be using it just for ERA and not FET, but also glad I’m taking the extra steps. Still not sure of what I’ll be doing after the ERA, but I told my RE I would only do daily Lupron shots so I can stop them if I want to... speaking of I am STILL on Lupron for this Mock cycle, but supplementing with estrogen so no real symptoms to write home about but I just hate being on it for so long because I know it can cause lasting issues. Friday I do my first ever PIO Shot. Seems crazy since my first cycle was over a year ago:). I’m freaking the F Out but going to scan back and re-read all your helpful comments from the first time I started freaking out about it. Haha:)

@JamieH2000 thrilled ur results have come in and we are ready to go!! Woohoo, only a few weeks now so excited for you!!! It's hard to not think about the "what ifs" we all do it! But as u said this is ur path to mommyhood!!

I first thought u and jamie were transferring together I forgot it's almost era time!! Glad ur moving onto new things. Wait till ur pregnant ull be shocked ur not a pro at it from the beginning

IVF#2 Sept 2016 (microdose luporn pro - disappearing follies, ONLY ONE, convert to IUI) BFN IVF#3 November 2016 (4 ER, 3 F, 3DT)-BFP with TWINS // MC both at almost 10wks IVF#4 March 2017 //EPP (10 ER (1 wonky so 9 ER) 7F, 3B (5AB, (2)5BB) PGS tested- ALL abnormal IVF#5 April 2017 // EPP (7 ER, 7F yes! 6B) 2/5 day 4/6 day - 2 PGS normal! yes!!

@adc0417- Glad its starting to rise!! You will do an ER with 2 follies right? Its true it can can only take one, and if this is your last chance before DE, i would at least try (assuming it is ok for you guys financially and stuff).
@hopefuljj- thanks girl! I am mostly excited, but still dealing with alot of anxiety. Less than I had before I got the ERA test back again, but still nervous that this transfer won't work and then what? Trying to stay positive for now. I so wish we could have been transfer buddies, but I think its good you are getting this ERA done first, and the delay will be well worth it. The confidence you will have when you get a receptive result is definitely worth it! My RE does not give painkillers for the ERA. The first time I had to have 2 biopsies to make sure we got enough sample and the 2nd time I only needed one. While I will say it did hurt quite a bit, it was only for like 10 seconds really intense and then it was completely gone within a min. Its just like a really bad cramp. I did take ibuprofen, but doubt it really did anything. After doing it 3 times, I would do it again if needed without any meds. 11mm is great, and I am sure if you got there this time, you will be able to get there again. Really anything above 8mm is perfect and has the same chances of success, so you shouldn't have to deal with lining thickness issues at least! I still think its a hard call about the lupron. I would see what the ERA says. Is your RE still recommending the lupron? Have they had other patients do it and it has helped? Can they discuss with other REs in the practice? The PIO is scary, but i thought it really didn't hurt that bad given the size of the needle. The aching is worse and comes the next day, so just be sure to heat the PIO first, rub the area after and use a heating pad. Also, you will only need it for 5 days this time, so it shouldn't get too sore by then!
@hopeful_mom- thanks for the continued support! Really hoping this is finally it for me.. ready to join you ladies on the other side!

Thanks everyone for all the good wishes and support!
We have the green light to schedule our next retrieval cycle!!!!!!!
Karyotyping showed nothing we didn’t already know. All other screenings only showed what we already knew and nothing else. I just need to sign consents with my Rheumatologist and Heamatologist that they can talk directly with the RE and then all doctors will talk to finalize the protocol next week. So we should be on time to get all protocol, calendar and meds in place before my next new cycle. Unless the Rheumatologist gives him another idea we will do Intralipids and steroids instead of my normal Rheuma meds. And depending on the discussion with the haematologist he will either leave me on baby aspirin or move to lovenox, but probably not do IVIG this first (fourth) round. He will take baseline FSH to determine if we start this cycle and what does of stims we use. And wants to try this with an antagonist with all the other changes so we know what causes any good or bad results. If we have poor results (even poorer than I normally get!) we will try MDL next.
DH was so visibly relieved to hear there was nothing in the tests. He has been super stressed since last week, now I see the normal him back again. I just want to get things moving again - as I know we have a long long road ahead of us - Best we can hope is to get to FET end of the year. But one step at a time, and that next step is ER #4.

@emmasemm phew what a relief that must be! Glad you can move on with your next cycle. @JamieH2000 yes both DH and I are willing to go forward onto ER with even 2 follies. This really is our last chance before moving on to DE. But, boy money is now flowing out like water. For now, just praying all goes well tmrw.
@emmasemm- Heck yes!! So happy for you! what a relief. And what a team of doctors you have assembled! You are going to get this to work! The plan is to bank embryos then and transfer by end of year?
@adc0417- can't wait for your update today! Would you be triggering tonight?!

emmasemm yaaaaaaas! fwiw, my second cycle on HGH was better than my first since it can be cumulative (so the hgh you use in your first cycle can be positively impacting the eggs waiting to be recruited for your next cycle).
@emmasemm yay good news all around thrilled u got the green light!! It's so interesting all the different protocols, glad u can use hgh. My clinic was against it and would not let us. It had something to do with FDA restrictions at the time. How's the thesis??

Hey everyone!! So my estrogen is going up and still have 2 follies growing but nowhere close to triggering. I wish I had more follies but beggars can’t be choosers. I’m grateful to the Lord above for where we are now. Next monitoring on Monday
@adc0417 great attitude I hope they are ur miracle. I know I did many cycles but so you know my lil bundle I'm carrying was my only normie in a bunch of 3 blasts, anything is possible!!! Keeping everything crossed for you!!

@adc0417 my ted mustache is starting to go away so hoping that's a mive in the right direction e2 is a very hard thing, my acupunturist who is a dr as well would always say that 200 should indicate a mature follie. Where are you at?

@adc0417- how are you follies doing? I have also heard the rule of thumb for estrogen that 200/mature follicle. Really hope you are able to trigger and do a retrieval!

@capps42613 *TW* [spoiler]I'm 4 weeks 6 days today and hcg levels are doubling as expected. I'm going to have one last test on friday and an ultrasound to check the yolk sac I believe. I have occasional cramps, backpain and sore boobs (just in the mornings) other than that, things are ok, thank God. How are you?[/spoiler]
@adc0417 based on my calculation my estrogen was about 155 per mature egg. My doctor waited until the follicles were around 24mm at the time of trigger. Looks like your eggs are maturing perfectly. Does your dr. have a preference when he triggers?
@Hopeful_mom Sorry to hear you are not well and end up having to take medication. I hope you'll feel so much better soon, hugs!
@jamieh2000 I'm so happy that you got a green light to start your cycle. I hope this is it and everything will work out smoothly and perfectly! Good luck dear!

@adc0417 there are a few studies that say in older women follicles are mature when they’re a bit smaller than in younger women, so if you hit 200 per follies and they’re not yet over 20mm don’t panic too much
@hopeful_mom I think you have had so many ailments since before you were PG that you are due some super healthy years ahead now!

@ilky- omg so excited for you! I didn't realize you got a BFP! Congrats girl!
@adc0417- that is a good estrogen rise! FX you can trigger soon!
@hopeful_mom- almost there, hang in there chica! Baby will be here before you know it!
@emmasemm- aww that is exciting! Stimming always made me excited too! Its nice to actual do something vs all the waiting!!
AFM- baseline was good and I start estrogen tomorrow! Hoping for a nice thick lining and NO bad surprises in the next few weeks. Transfer is on the 30th assuming no issues (which maybe isn't a safe assumption given my past!)

@ilky!!!!!!!!!!! Omg lady!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you lady!!
@JamieH2000 it’s go time!!!!! I’m soooo excited for you to get this FET going!! I’m sure you feel the same! hoping with everything you develop the most perfect beautiful lining:)
@emmasemm yay!! Next Tuesday is right around the corner! I always felt the same way when I would get close to starting again! Feels like you are actually DOING something!!
@hopeful_mom omg! First week of June! I can not believe it! I’m so sorry about the cold but Lior I can’t handle how soon you are due!! This is SO EXCITING!!
@adc0417 yay for estrogen rising!! I bet when those 2 get a bit larger that estrogen will get up there too! I can’t remember if I mentioned I have wildly different outcomes with estrogen...I always had low estrogen when stimming if you go by the 200 = mature rule. My first IVF cycle it was under 600 and I got waaaay more mature follicles than any other cycle I’ve done since. 6! Maybe even 7...it was over a year ago I’m just not sure now. So I just never know what to expect. Anyway, excited for when you do get ready for trigger!! And I think your estrogen is looking promising for those folllies!!!
AFM - ERA sucked but I survived! Getting the catheter in sucked pretty badly...I took the day off and drove 2+ hours out to Eaton New Jersey and the procedure itself was like 5 minutes, haha!! Then I came home and decided to donate my hair in effort to turn around this not FET day:). I now have a lob aka long bob. I miss my hair already but I feel really good about doing it. I have wanted to do it for years but wanted to wait and do it towards the end of pregnancy or after. My mom had really long hair in all the pictures I’ve seen of her pregnant...and for whatever reason I thought by somehow emulating the way she looked when she was pregnant it would somehow make me closer to her or something, but first off that’s just crazy and secondly, I can’t keep just waiting until I’m pregnant when the months and years just fall away and there’s always more delays or poor outcomes. So it’s done:) living my life the best I can. 1 decision at a time.
Me: Hashimoto Autoimune Disease Homozygous MTHFR Cr677 DOR - AMH .27 High FSH (don't even know how high) 2 iui's to start - BFN IVF 1 -3 made it do day 5! 2 5AA 1 6BB PGS results = all abnormal IVF 2 - stimmed for 19 days. insanity. Had 5 follicles that looked mature but only 2 contained mature eggs the others were empty.

Sent in IVF round 3 and 6 (4 embryos) for PGS testing and got 2 normal embryos!!! 1Boy and 1Girl. Took a little over a year to get those two embryos so demanded all sorts of test prior to attempting transfer. Did EFT, ERA and NK Cells testing.

@hopefuljj I'm emotional over here lady, really glad ERA is over when are the results expected back? I'm sure your hair looks great, amazing thing you did!! More good things headed ur way I just know it!!

@hopefuljj That’s such a good deed you did today....donating your hair! I bet you it’ll bring you some good karma. My estrogen today was 346 (yesterday was 399 but it was at a different lab so they think it might be lab variation) Follies are 17 and 14. Kinda nervous after knowing the estrogen levels from today...hope it’s just a lab variation.
@emmasemm Exactly know how you feel. I feel I’m not sitting idle and time pass me by when I’m stimming. I too secretly look forward to it.
AFM- I had my first lining check after 6 days of estrogen. Normally I am above a 7mm at this point. Today it was only 5mm. Last time I started this slow (in Oct) I ended up only getting to 7mm and cancelling for fluid (and polyps were found/removed after). Just terrified that the polyps are back and that I will be cancelled again. I have been waiting SO long.. started DE a year ago now. Just feeling so defeated and tired of this all. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I'm sure they will up my estrogen and bring me back in more. I still have 9 days until I am supposed to start progesterone, so hopefully there is still time and I just started slow since I was pretty sick last week.

2 iui's to start - BFN
IVF 1 -3 made it do day 5! 2 5AA 1 6BB PGS results = all abnormal
IVF 2 - stimmed for 19 days. insanity. Had 5 follicles that looked mature but only 2 contained mature eggs the others were empty. Nothing made it to day 5
IVF 3 - added in HGH - 4 mature follicles (had some empties again) 3 made it to day 5/6 for PGS (held for testing with next retrieval
IVF 4 - Upped my dosage for the first time - Canceled 11 days into sims - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 5 - Canceled - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 6 - 3 mature, 2 fertalized 1 made it to day 5 and sent for PGS
Sent in IVF round 3 and 6 (4 embryos) for PGS testing and got 2 normal embryos!!! 1Boy and 1Girl. Took a little over a year to get those two embryos so demanded all sorts of test prior to attempting transfer. Did EFT, ERA and NK Cells testing.
FET#1 - Intralipid drips, Prednisone, and did a depot lupron shot before starting the FET protocol
Chemical pregnancy
FET#2 - PGS normal boy - BFN
Natural pregnancy - cycle following the FET2???? Miscarriage at 8 weeks. viability scan had shown an enlarged yolk sac so I had been warned that it was likely not chromosonally normal
DEIVF cycle - picked a donor who is willing to be open! Her cycle resulted in in 4 PGS Normal embryos
1st transfer - chemical pregnancy
2nd transfer - success, May 17 2020 due date!
@Adc0417 I am so sorry about your grandmother:( it is very sad to loose family even when they are older. I hope you have lots of happy memories you can cherish. I’m sorry you aren’t having a great response this cycle. I’ve never used Lupron outside of for my FET which is now becoming my ERA cycle instead so I can’t give much input. I have heard it work for some DOR ladies and really not worked for others because of over suppression:(
@emmasemm I can’t believe results are in and you still have to wait till Thursday??? Talk about a long weekend!! I hope it flies by and the news is good:)

AFM my estrogen has gone up a bit, but slow as molasses. Will repeat on Wednesday
@hopefuljj the results were only held up due to Easter. Normally if they were in Thursday they would release them to us if there was nothing of note, or do the consult the next day. We chose not to have the consult whilst visitors were here, so Thursday is the first day.
***TW kid talk***
On the plus side it tested out how we use some areas of our house and I would like to make a few changes before we have our own so things are more practical. And every evening DH and I discussed how we would want to handle certain situations which I think is better to do before they happen, not argue about it whilst you have a tantruming child!

@hopefuljj- when is the ERA, this week right?!
@emmasemm- anxiously awaiting hopefully good news for you on Thursday! That is hard with family. We have some nephews/nieces too and some of them its not a good situation, so its really hard not to judge. Hopefully you will have your own soon to focus on and spoil (but not too much of course!)
AFM- well I about had a heart attack when I saw my RE calling. The nurse usually calls or emails with good news and the RE calls with bad. So I was freaking out as she took her time pulling up my ERA results, but I am RECEPTIVE with 4 days (96 hours) of progesterone. She also said there was no inflammation noted, so that is great. We are a green light for FET on 4/30! I am SO thrilled and hopeful that this will give us success. There is a small part of me that wish I had pushed for the ERA harder before donor eggs (I did ask and my RE was pretty sure it was my eggs). I mean out of 3 IVF cycles, we only had two early blasts at day 5 and who knows if they would have made it to freeze and been normal and stuck, but part of me thinks we would have tried one more time if we knew about the post receptive issue. I asked if my natural cycle is also likely receptive at 4 days past ovulation and she thought probably. If that is true, a natural pregnancy will never be an option for me since no embryo is a blast and ready to implant 4 days after ovulation. Overall I feel good and just trying to believe this path was God's plan for our babies to come to us.

I also understand the kind of tinge of sadness that even with good news now, the questions of what might have been creep in. It’s only natural. Especially when even with super eggs you don’t get implantable blastocysts on day 4.

@emmasemm good luck tmrw, praying for you!
@jamieH2000 I am so thrilled that you have found your receptive window!!! I can’t believe it! I am so so excited about your upcoming transfer!! I totally hear you on the bittersweet part of things, the universe has led you down this path for a reason. You are doing everything right.

My ERA is the 11th. The date I would have been doing FET originally. Jamie, We would have been so close together for transfer:-/
question....do you need pain killers for ERA? I’m driving 2 hours out to this clinic and just want to make sure I’m ok driving myself back. Last biopsy I was under twilight anesthesia so I have no idea what it felt like but I was fine after.
I went in for blood work and scan and had a 11mm lining and it was trilaminar so I’m sad to be using it just for ERA and not FET, but also glad I’m taking the extra steps. Still not sure of what I’ll be doing after the ERA, but I told my RE I would only do daily Lupron shots so I can stop them if I want to... speaking of I am STILL on Lupron for this Mock cycle, but supplementing with estrogen so no real symptoms to write home about but I just hate being on it for so long because I know it can cause lasting issues.
Friday I do my first ever PIO Shot. Seems crazy since my first cycle was over a year ago:). I’m freaking the F Out but going to scan back and re-read all your helpful comments from the first time I started freaking out about it. Haha:)
Homozygous MTHFR Cr677
DOR - AMH .27 High FSH (don't even know how high)
2 iui's to start - BFN
IVF 1 -3 made it do day 5! 2 5AA 1 6BB PGS results = all abnormal
IVF 2 - stimmed for 19 days. insanity. Had 5 follicles that looked mature but only 2 contained mature eggs the others were empty. Nothing made it to day 5
IVF 3 - added in HGH - 4 mature follicles (had some empties again) 3 made it to day 5/6 for PGS (held for testing with next retrieval
IVF 4 - Upped my dosage for the first time - Canceled 11 days into sims - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 5 - Canceled - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 6 - 3 mature, 2 fertalized 1 made it to day 5 and sent for PGS
Sent in IVF round 3 and 6 (4 embryos) for PGS testing and got 2 normal embryos!!! 1Boy and 1Girl. Took a little over a year to get those two embryos so demanded all sorts of test prior to attempting transfer. Did EFT, ERA and NK Cells testing.
FET#1 - Intralipid drips, Prednisone, and did a depot lupron shot before starting the FET protocol
Chemical pregnancy
FET#2 - PGS normal boy - BFN
Natural pregnancy - cycle following the FET2???? Miscarriage at 8 weeks. viability scan had shown an enlarged yolk sac so I had been warned that it was likely not chromosonally normal
DEIVF cycle - picked a donor who is willing to be open! Her cycle resulted in in 4 PGS Normal embryos
1st transfer - chemical pregnancy
2nd transfer - success, May 17 2020 due date!

@JamieH2000 thrilled ur results have come in and we are ready to go!! Woohoo, only a few weeks now so excited for you!!! It's hard to not think about the "what ifs" we all do it! But as u said this is ur path to mommyhood!!
@emmasemm hoping good news is coming ur way!! U guys will be great parents! I had nephews that trashed my apt while I was out once and now that they're older they seem to forget they weren't angels growing up
@hopefuljj really hope they will numb the area so u won't experience too much pain!! A 2 hr drive after doesn't sound fun either I hope ur car seats have extra cushion!! I first thought u and jamie were transferring together I forgot it's almost era time!! Glad ur moving onto new things. Wait till ur pregnant ull be shocked ur not a pro at it from the beginning

@hopefuljj- thanks girl! I am mostly excited, but still dealing with alot of anxiety. Less than I had before I got the ERA test back again, but still nervous that this transfer won't work and then what? Trying to stay positive for now. I so wish we could have been transfer buddies, but I think its good you are getting this ERA done first, and the delay will be well worth it. The confidence you will have when you get a receptive result is definitely worth it! My RE does not give painkillers for the ERA. The first time I had to have 2 biopsies to make sure we got enough sample and the 2nd time I only needed one. While I will say it did hurt quite a bit, it was only for like 10 seconds really intense and then it was completely gone within a min. Its just like a really bad cramp. I did take ibuprofen, but doubt it really did anything. After doing it 3 times, I would do it again if needed without any meds. 11mm is great, and I am sure if you got there this time, you will be able to get there again. Really anything above 8mm is perfect and has the same chances of success, so you shouldn't have to deal with lining thickness issues at least! I still think its a hard call about the lupron. I would see what the ERA says. Is your RE still recommending the lupron? Have they had other patients do it and it has helped? Can they discuss with other REs in the practice? The PIO is scary, but i thought it really didn't hurt that bad given the size of the needle. The aching is worse and comes the next day, so just be sure to heat the PIO first, rub the area after and use a heating pad. Also, you will only need it for 5 days this time, so it shouldn't get too sore by then!
@emmasemm- can't wait for your update today!
@hopeful_mom- thanks for the continued support! Really hoping this is finally it for me.. ready to join you ladies on the other side!

Back for # 2!
We have the green light to schedule our next retrieval cycle!!!!!!!
Karyotyping showed nothing we didn’t already know. All other screenings only showed what we already knew and nothing else. I just need to sign consents with my Rheumatologist and Heamatologist that they can talk directly with the RE and then all doctors will talk to finalize the protocol next week. So we should be on time to get all protocol, calendar and meds in place before my next new cycle.
Unless the Rheumatologist gives him another idea we will do Intralipids and steroids instead of my normal Rheuma meds. And depending on the discussion with the haematologist he will either leave me on baby aspirin or move to lovenox, but probably not do IVIG this first (fourth) round.
He will take baseline FSH to determine if we start this cycle and what does of stims we use. And wants to try this with an antagonist with all the other changes so we know what causes any good or bad results. If we have poor results (even poorer than I normally get!) we will try MDL next.
DH was so visibly relieved to hear there was nothing in the tests. He has been super stressed since last week, now I see the normal him back again.
I just want to get things moving again - as I know we have a long long road ahead of us - Best we can hope is to get to FET end of the year. But one step at a time, and that next step is ER #4.

@JamieH2000 yes both DH and I are willing to go forward onto ER with even 2 follies. This really is our last chance before moving on to DE. But, boy money is now flowing out like water. For now, just praying all goes well tmrw.

So, I was wondering how does the estrogen levels correlate with mature # of follicles. Any insight will be appreciated
natural pregnancy: 2008
Me: 28 (Hypothyroid), DH: 35
Together since: 2010
Married: 2013
TTC: 2013
Infertility: severe MFI, low AMH (0.5)
Met RE: January 2016
ER: 3/14 (4 follies, 6 eggs retrieved, 2 fertilized)
fresh 3dt of 2 embryos= BFP (1 implanted)
EDD w/ baby boy= 12/6/16
e2 is a very hard thing, my acupunturist who is a dr as well would always say that 200 should indicate a mature follie. Where are you at?

@JamieH2000 me toooooo!
So my estrogen yesterday was ard 300 and 2 follies measuring 13 and 12
@adc0417 based on my calculation my estrogen was about 155 per mature egg. My doctor waited until the follicles were around 24mm at the time of trigger. Looks like your eggs are maturing perfectly. Does your dr. have a preference when he triggers?
@Hopeful_mom Sorry to hear you are not well and end up having to take medication. I hope you'll feel so much better soon, hugs!
@jamieh2000 I'm so happy that you got a green light to start your cycle. I hope this is it and everything will work out smoothly and perfectly! Good luck dear!
@adc0417 ur E2 sounds right on target let them continue to grow together! When's ur next monitoring apt?
@emmasemm did I miss ur update?
@hopefuljj is ur test tomorrow? Thinking of u good luck!!

@adc0417 there are a few studies that say in older women follicles are mature when they’re a bit smaller than in younger women, so if you hit 200 per follies and they’re not yet over 20mm don’t panic too much
@hopefuljj good luck
@jamieh2000 all the love for the next step!
@hopeful_mom I think you have had so many ailments since before you were PG that you are due some super healthy years ahead now!
AFM nurse appointment to go through calendar and protocol etc next Tuesday! Gave a warning to my local monitoring clinic today too. In two weeks time I could be stimming again. Why does stimming make me so excited each time???

@adc0417- that is a good estrogen rise! FX you can trigger soon!
@hopeful_mom- almost there, hang in there chica! Baby will be here before you know it!
@emmasemm- aww that is exciting! Stimming always made me excited too! Its nice to actual do something vs all the waiting!!
AFM- baseline was good and I start estrogen tomorrow! Hoping for a nice thick lining and NO bad surprises in the next few weeks. Transfer is on the 30th assuming no issues (which maybe isn't a safe assumption given my past!)

@JamieH2000 it’s go time!!!!! I’m soooo excited for you to get this FET going!! I’m sure you feel the same! hoping with everything you develop the most perfect beautiful lining:)
@emmasemm yay!! Next Tuesday is right around the corner! I always felt the same way when I would get close to starting again! Feels like you are actually DOING something!!
@hopeful_mom omg! First week of June! I can not believe it! I’m so sorry about the cold but Lior I can’t handle how soon you are due!! This is SO EXCITING!!
@adc0417 yay for estrogen rising!! I bet when those 2 get a bit larger that estrogen will get up there too! I can’t remember if I mentioned I have wildly different outcomes with estrogen...I always had low estrogen when stimming if you go by the 200 = mature rule. My first IVF cycle it was under 600 and I got waaaay more mature follicles than any other cycle I’ve done since. 6! Maybe even 7...it was over a year ago I’m just not sure now. So I just never know what to expect. Anyway, excited for when you do get ready for trigger!! And I think your estrogen is looking promising for those folllies!!!
AFM - ERA sucked but I survived! Getting the catheter in sucked pretty badly...I took the day off and drove 2+ hours out to Eaton New Jersey and the procedure itself was like 5 minutes, haha!! Then I came home and decided to donate my hair in effort to turn around this not FET day:). I now have a lob aka long bob. I miss my hair already but I feel really good about doing it. I have wanted to do it for years but wanted to wait and do it towards the end of pregnancy or after. My mom had really long hair in all the pictures I’ve seen of her pregnant...and for whatever reason I thought by somehow emulating the way she looked when she was pregnant it would somehow make me closer to her or something, but first off that’s just crazy and secondly, I can’t keep just waiting until I’m pregnant when the months and years just fall away and there’s always more delays or poor outcomes. So it’s done:) living my life the best I can.
1 decision at a time.
Homozygous MTHFR Cr677
DOR - AMH .27 High FSH (don't even know how high)
2 iui's to start - BFN
IVF 1 -3 made it do day 5! 2 5AA 1 6BB PGS results = all abnormal
IVF 2 - stimmed for 19 days. insanity. Had 5 follicles that looked mature but only 2 contained mature eggs the others were empty. Nothing made it to day 5
IVF 3 - added in HGH - 4 mature follicles (had some empties again) 3 made it to day 5/6 for PGS (held for testing with next retrieval
IVF 4 - Upped my dosage for the first time - Canceled 11 days into sims - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 5 - Canceled - looked like 1 follicle and we were afraid it was empty
IVF 6 - 3 mature, 2 fertalized 1 made it to day 5 and sent for PGS
Sent in IVF round 3 and 6 (4 embryos) for PGS testing and got 2 normal embryos!!! 1Boy and 1Girl. Took a little over a year to get those two embryos so demanded all sorts of test prior to attempting transfer. Did EFT, ERA and NK Cells testing.
FET#1 - Intralipid drips, Prednisone, and did a depot lupron shot before starting the FET protocol
Chemical pregnancy
FET#2 - PGS normal boy - BFN
Natural pregnancy - cycle following the FET2???? Miscarriage at 8 weeks. viability scan had shown an enlarged yolk sac so I had been warned that it was likely not chromosonally normal
DEIVF cycle - picked a donor who is willing to be open! Her cycle resulted in in 4 PGS Normal embryos
1st transfer - chemical pregnancy
2nd transfer - success, May 17 2020 due date!

@emmasemm Exactly know how you feel. I feel I’m not sitting idle and time pass me by when I’m stimming. I too secretly look forward to it.
@llky Congratulations girl!!
@Hopeful_mom Thanks for always cheering for us!!
@emmasemm- you get your calendar today right?!
AFM- I had my first lining check after 6 days of estrogen. Normally I am above a 7mm at this point. Today it was only 5mm. Last time I started this slow (in Oct) I ended up only getting to 7mm and cancelling for fluid (and polyps were found/removed after). Just terrified that the polyps are back and that I will be cancelled again. I have been waiting SO long.. started DE a year ago now. Just feeling so defeated and tired of this all. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I'm sure they will up my estrogen and bring me back in more. I still have 9 days until I am supposed to start progesterone, so hopefully there is still time and I just started slow since I was pretty sick last week.
