Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me. I'm doing PGD for recurrent failed IVF and 2 biochemical pregnancies, and am on the maximal dose of Puregon 600 units, yikes. With this, I got 10 eggs this time and just waiting for embryo numbers. Some people have mentioned DHEA, is there anything else I should be doing? (I'm also doing acupucture etc).
Thanks for your help.
Have you tried low dose asprin during your cycle? It thins the blood and I believe in the theory that i this helps the embryo implant. I also took Royal Jelly capsules and high dose mulitvitamins until ET. Fingers crossed for you.
Thanks Daisie.
Unfortunately all 4 embryos were chromosomally abnormal, so not transfer yesterday. I'm devastated but also relieved I don't have to go through a pointless 2ww or another biochemical pregnancy. I think we'll try this once more before changing sperm donors... or my female partner donating me her embryos... I guess I need some time to think and some time for it all to sink in...
Hi Ferrals
Sorry I haven't replied earlier... hope your cycle is going well. Re your question about a leading ovary - strangely enough no Dr has ever investigated so I am not sure if that is what happening. I wish I had more answers, but who doesn't when they're TTC? Anyway, my FS is back and I see her on Thursday. We will be talking about what our options are for the future. In the meantime, my cycle is still off since the Clomid - my period just doesn't seem to want to come. Trying herbs and AP to get AF to show her face. Something I am toying with at the moment is ED. DH is fully supportive but I still have some things to work through, the hardest being finding a donor! Anyway, good luck with your cycle - sending you lots of stickvibes!

Hi chez,
Just thought i'd pop in and let you know how my cycle ended up that lead follicle ended being a cyst that is why my E2 is always high every 2nd month so out of 23+ follicles all the ones on the right side did not get big enough to have mature eggs as the cyst sucked up all the puregon hormone but on the left side which is my not so good side we had 10+ follicles where 6 were big enough at EPU and ended up having an A grade day 3 perfect looking embryo TF and i have had BFP since yesterday and todays one being nice and dark so we made it when the cycle was looking like being cancelled because of that cyst and now we are pregnant.
I hope AF has shown her face and you can get cycling soon.
Any luck with a donor?
CONGRATULATIONS! I was only thinking about you on the weekend! That is great news because as you said it all looked like being cancelled early on in the cycle. It gives me more hope! And what a fantastic number of follicles - I wish I could produce that many!
AFM, no AF but when I did some b/t last week it looked like I was about to O with a good E2 and LH reading. I saw my FS on Thursday for a scheduled appointment and she decided to give me a trigger shot that afternoon as my b/t from that morning showed a drop in E2 and LH but no rise in Prog, so she was worried about an unruptured follicle. I have more Pregnyl tonight and again Thursday, with more b/t on Thursday. I trying not to send myself crazy with this TWW but already I am feeling the effects of the Pregnyl which I believe can mimic pg symptoms! Oh well, another try for us and maybe it will turn out to be lucky. Cross for your fingers and toes for us!
