How are things going this week, ladies?

QOTW: what is your go-to lounge outfit?

[westiemom]

CD 18 here and waiting to O. I have been sick so who knows what will happen this cycle. Sex hasn't been as frequent as a result of the sickness. Monitor still says high fertility (and has since CD 8). I'm dropping another feed of DD to see if I can regulate things a little more dropping to 3 feeds.

QOTW: I love leggings and baggy shirts.

Hi ladies!

westiemom hoping things regulate soon!

AFM transfer is Friday. I'm on 4 Estrace patches and 2 ml of PIO and feeling pukey. Lining check looked great (11 mm and trilinear) and my estrogen was 216 so we're a go. I'm also finally over the toddler plague thank goodness. Hoping my lone frosty survives thaw 🤞

QOTW: I have the softest old school sweatpants that I ❤️

Hi everyone,

Late to the game this week, so I had my second opinion appointment. I don't know anything about this protocol, so ladies let me know if you think this doc is good or bad haha.

So cycle hx:
IVF#1: Standard lupron protocol, FSH 225 -> 225/150; peak E2 568; 3 oocytes retrieved and injected; 2x 2PN, 2 embryos transferred on Day 3. DD born.

IVF#2: Standard lupron protocol; FSH 300 -> 225/150; peak E2 1310; 5 oocytes retrieved and injected; 3x 2PN; day 5 morula transferred; no pregnancy

IVF#3: Antagonist protocol, FSH 375 -> 225/225; 8 oocytes retrieved, 8 mature and injected; 6x 2PN. 2x 8B embryos transferred with no pregnancy. 2 blastocysts cryopreserved

Warning************FBT#1 (12/2016): Day 6 5BB x1 transferred with endometrial scratch --> SAB at 6 wga***********************

FBT#2 (3/2017): Day 6 6BB transferred with endometrial scratch --> no pregnancy

New clinic: Wants to do lab work with next cycle, FSH, AFC, repeat scope, second cycle stim and retrieval. He does not want to use birth control and wants to do estrace priming and microdose lupron. Freeze all. CCS testing. Third cycle do ERA testing (will serve as a scratch). Fourth cycle do FET. Gave us a list of their supplements (so more open to them clearly). They aren't really into the immune protocols but are open to their patients working with Dr. KK (I don't think we are here yet). He doesn't think I need lovenox. Also my current clinic only does vaginal suppositories and he thinks PIO is definitely better for frozen.

Current clinic: Said we could do ERA, may or may not help. Wants to repeat antagonist protocol and do split doses 225/225 starting. Also recommended CCS testing. Currently clinic uses birth control for all cycles.

Opinions?!

westiemom, Thanks for the check-in. I'm way into leggings and baggy tops as well.

nikiswimr, I really hope this frosty is the one. FX!!!!!

[westiemom]

dp21 this looks good to me but I'm not a pro like others. I like freeze all, scratch, and PIO components. My RE always did PIO for FETs. I also like that they are open to supplements and Dr. K should you need to go that route down the road. Sounds like they may be more current with research and things.

AHHHHH nikiswimr, all my best sticky vibes to you!!!

[nikiswimr]

Thanks ladies! I'm officially PUPO let the waiting begin.

dp21 I'm also no expert but the new plan sounds good. My clinic also does PIO for all FETs.
