HI Ladies, I was wondering if I could join. Im currently on the 6th days of stimms . We were attempting the ivf back in May but got cancelled due to large number of follies ( I had 50 on the 7th day of stimms ) . At the moment I am on 100 units of Gonal F because they are scared I will overstimulate again. ;-)

What dosage were you initially on when you overstimulated?

I am worried this is going to happen to me I go back in a week for my next scan but because they are aware I am likely to over respond I have been put on 150 from the start.

Hi Serenyx,

I was on 150, they cancelled me on the 7th day due to large number of follies and high hormone levels. I have also overstimulated on clomid .I had 9 follies on my first clomid cycle. My doctor told me every month is different, when I was doing IUI inject. I have also used Gonal F and being on 75 I have only managed to get 4 follies. I guess you never know what to expect...

 

[Serenyx]

Thanks for that I guess it's just a case of wait and see then :/

Were there any symptoms you were over stimulating or did you just find out at the progress scan?

good question! I don't know the answer to that but now I want to know.
My RE suggested ICSI but never mentioned anything about a genetic test done on the embryos.

Anybody done an ICSI transfer without a genetic test done on those embryos?

 

[ababy4us]

Now I'm concerned. We are about to go through an ICSI and I haven't heard any such thing of any genetic testing. Oh no another night of Googling

 

[ababy4us]

I can't wait for all of you ladies that are currently PUPO to

We need to start seeing some 's on this thread!

We did ICSI without genetic testing last time. I had 5 mature eggs retrieved. ICSI was done on all of them even though DH has no MF issues, and 4 fertilized normally. We decided not to do genetic testing given that we have no known genetic issues and we're still considered young (we are both 28). By day 5, we had 4 blasts. We transferred 2 -- one 5AA and one 4AA. I was crushed when it didn't work. Given the quality of our blasts, my doctor thinks a chromosome issue was at play.

We froze the remaining 2 on day 6 -- one 6AA and one 4BB. We opted to do another fresh cycle to preserve my fertility. I'm DOR, and we want a chance at 2 kids. We are doing PGS on the fresh embryos, and my doctor is recommending including the 2 frozen ones since we are already paying for the other ones. I suppose I'm "lucky" that I reached my out-of-pocket max on my insurance this year. I've blown through my $7,000 lifetime benefit for fertility treatments, but my meds don't count towards that lifetime max. So, we have to pay for the procedures now, but at least the meds were fully covered. The out-of-pocket max resets in January.

I'm trying everything I can to try get as many eggs during retrieval as possible. Not sure if it's helping, but I'm on all kinds of supplements, changed diet, and acupuncture. Fingers crossed for more than 4 embryos this time. I'm hoping for similar quality as last time and am praying that whatever we produce comes back with normal results.

My second follow-up ultrasound/blood draw is tomorrow morning. I'm hoping that things are progressing nicely. I head over to my acupuncture appointment when the doctor appointment is over.

I found out during the scan, I was very bloated and tired , much more than I am now but that's normal for IVF, so I guess I did not have any symptoms.

Good luck with your journey.
I am off to my appointment too see how many follies I managed to produce.

Prayerful - love your bible verse at the bottom, answered something for me this morning!

I am going mad having to wait for Beta results....

Good luck to all!

buny - my clinic said no intercourse until we get the BFP...

Tcreasy - my husband had the same - we went to a homeopath who put us on a vegetable juice and detox diet. When we went back his sperms were fine. He however still had the obstruction - because of this we had to go straight to ICSI. Hope this info helps? You're welcome to ask if you need more info.

Thanks we're on a fertility diet ATM, so hopefully I'm praying there are some spermies in there that just can't get out. Just wait and see I guess? I hate waiting! Xx
