Re: Newbie Intros w/o 6/27
I didn’t think that I would be back, but here I am. 💞
Ages (you and SO): 38, 52
How many months have you been TTC?: It’s tricky.
Currently benched due to testing.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Tons of supplements and fertility/RPL testing.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have one living child who is two. My husband and I also have an old man tuxedo cat named James Bond. My husband and I work in the entertainment industry (he works with theme parks, I’m an actress). I love this community and am happy to support everyone on their journey! ❤️
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.
@optimistgardener Yes, I was here just recently. I will definitely hop over to those threads! Thank you. 😊
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!
