[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for some realistic, face the news reports about how long it took for you to find that one egg that finally worked.....

We can not get anything (but 1, abnormal) to blast. This is cycle 12. My numbers look better than ever this round....39, AMH 1.6, FSH 7, TSH 1.7, AFC 15, Currently day 7 and there are 27 eggs, 12 measuring over 12mm.

I did 10 rounds, still no success.  Had 2 normals and one didn't take.  Taking our time trying to figure everything out before we waste the last one.  I also had lots of trouble making blasts (only 6 blasts out of 10 retrievals with response rates similar to yours of ~15-20 eggs each time and good fertilization rates).  We did try 2 transfers of Day 3, but I feel like the protocol was not ideal so they didn't stand a chance (e.g., lots of Menopur).

Some things I wish I had known to try sooner:  1) My husband and I are both MTHFR positive, which apparently can affect blast rate; 2) I have a high baseline LH, which can be very bad for egg quality.  Wish we had started Cetrotide right away with stims; 3) Lay off the DHEA if levels are in normal range, as too much can be bad for egg quality; 4) Wish I had paid more attention to the small things from It Starts with the Egg, like changing all of my toiletry and cleaning products (likely would have made very little difference, but I would like to not have the regret).[/quote]
