So our protocol, this time around - it seems - is a bit different than the norm. My doc has said he's had great results with this protocol (yay!) but I'm trying to find others who've done this protocol...
So since this is only my 2nd post on these boards, our background is - we are dealing with MFI. Very low count / 0% morphology. I've gotten basically an almost perfect / clean bill of health. I have 28 day cycles. I O on day 14. I did have a hysteroscopy/lap done and they found very very slight endo on the outside, which they cleaned up, but everything inside looked great!
We've had 2 failed IVF's. First, fresh, they retrieved 9 eggs, 7 fertilized, 6 made it to blast. We transferred 2. Didn't work. Then a few months later, we tried a more natural approach, as far as meds, transferred 2. Didn't work.
That was March of last year. We are now in our third cycle. This time around he had me on Femara (CD3-7) and Gonal F, 75iu for 5 days. I triggered last night and they want us to go ahead and have timed intercourse 36 hours after trigger. Transfer of our 2 remaining will be scheduled for this upcoming Friday.
Has anyone here done a protocol like this?
BTW - last two times, we did NOT dtd at all during our cycles...this time we will be. Plus I am drinking pineapple juice and will be doing the pineapple core.
I have to say - for the pineapple juice...my scan for follies was on wednesday and my lining was at a 7 - which wasn't good enough to trigger. They had me come back friday (yesterday)...so on wednesday and thursday I drank 2 small 6oz cans of pineapple juice and tried to get blood flowing to my uterus...and yesterday when I went back in, my lining was at a 10 and they saw the 3 layers they hope for! yay!
So anyways - I have been scouring the internet looking for others who've had a similar protocol...
I triggered with hcg and will be doing both PIO and suppositories.
Thanks!!!
