    @elle-0409 I remember you from my last time TTC: welcome back! I love your cat's name: right now DH and I are watching Dr. No because I have never seen a James Bond movie in full. (My "movies I need to watch" list is embarrassingly long.)
  • Options
    @elle-0409 it looks like you were through here a few months ago. i'm super sorry you're back but welcome, anyhow. i hope your docs are able to figure out the RPL. Feel free to drop by the TTCAL and the IF threads if you like.
    History
    I am doing this on my own. Left ovary and fallopian tube removed due to cyst/necrosis just after birth. Right ovary and tube still purport to function.
    Began TTC in Aug '18 @ age 35
    5 or 6 (or 7?!) cycles using frozen donor sperm, ICI. All BFN
    Mar-Jun '19 IUIs, all BFN
    Began process of referral for RE in spring of '19, blood tests confirm low AMH (.54) but all else is good.
    May '19 HSG shows open tube, but ultrasound suggests fibroids
    MRI in June '19 confirms two large fibroids, one growing through wall of uterus
    In June '19 I move from California to Oregon, disrupting my insurance, referrals, etc. 5 months spent piecing it all back together.
    Nov. '19 attempted myomectomy (vaginal approach) failed. 2nd surgery using laparoscopic method in Jan '20 is successful.
    April '20 --> June '20, natural IUIs, all BFN.
    July? saline ultrasound and bubble test demonstrate open tube
    July '20 clomid cycle cancelled for thin lining
    Aug-Oct, 3 femara cycles, all BFN
    RE referral. While waiting to set up an appointment Nov-Jan,I continue with natural cycles and ICI, using a known donor, BFN...
    Jan '21 more bloodwork, AMH is worse (.30), FSH high albeit not catastrophic at 13.2. hysteroscopy all good. "looks cozy!" says the RE.
    Feb '21, injectables (menopur, novarel), iui, BFN (doc said the frozen donor sperm sample had the "best numbers she'd ever seen!")
    Mar '21, injectables, iui cancelled due to lack of follicles, converted to at home-insem. BFN
    May '21, first IVF round cancelled due to cyst.
    July '21 IVF: standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 7; 6 days of stims. 8 eggs retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilize, 4 made it to blast. 3 are 4AB, 1 is 4BB. PGT-A results all abnormal.
    Oct '21 somewhat improved AMH (.51) and significantly improved FSH (8.9). Maybe it's all the pills I swallow.
    Dec -21, standard antagonist. 225menupur/225gonal-f/cetrotide/5000u trigger, AFC 5; 11 days of stims. retrieval yields 5, 4M, 2 reach day-6 blast (4AB & 4BB). 1 low-level mosaic (chr. 3 deletion), 1 complex abnormal.
    Feb '22 FET (low-level mosaic): CP.
    May '22 egg retrieval, lupron flare protocol. HGH priming for 1 month before stims; md lupron 20/20u daily; menopur 225, follistim 225, 10k trigger after 8 days of stims; AFC 10; 13 retrieved; 10 mature; 8 fertilized. All frozen at 2PN for later thaw, grow, and biopsy.
    July '22 egg retrieval same protocol: 9 days of stims; AFC 8; 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 4 fertilized and frozen.
    Sept '22 ER same protocol: AFC 10; 12 retrieved, 11 mature, 11 fertilized.
    From the 3 retrievals, 7 survived to day 5-6 blastocyst, from which I have 2 normal embryos!
    Jan 20, Fully medicated FET, baby aspirin, dexamethasone, acupuncture, and as much woo as I can stand (which isn't very much). BFN.
    July 23, Natural FET + baby aspirin. BFN.

    @hestia-is-wearie Hi! 👋🏻 Dr. No is a good one. My list of “need to watch” movies is also staggeringly long. (I still haven’t seen GONE WITH THE WIND for example.)
    @optimistgardener Yes, I was here just recently. I will definitely hop over to those threads! Thank you. 😊

    Welcome back @elle-0409 ❤️ And may we all gtfooh super soon!

    @elle-0409 I haven't seen Gone with the Wind either! I read the book a few years ago and it took me months to finish. I want to watch the movie but I know I'd have to set aside a whole week for it. 
    We just finished Dr. No last night and we'll probably watch a couple more Bond movies from different eras: DH wants to see Goldeneye and I want to see Skyfall. Thank goodness for streaming! :)

    @hestia-is-wearie GoldenEye is probably my favorite of the Bond films. Not necessarily because it's amazing, but because it was the first one I ever saw, so I have a bit of nostalgia for it. Any of the Daniel Craig ones (except for Quantum of Solace) are excellent. Happy viewing!
