[quote=Anonymous]i'm about to go thru ivf for a 4th and probably final retrieval in january.

i had 2 back-to-back retrievals in 2019 (#1 - 24 eggs, 13 mature, 9 fertilized, 4 blasts, 2 normal; #2 19 eggs, 17 mature and fertilized, 2 blasts, 1 normal). Transfer #1 (from 1st retrieval) only re-expanded 60% and was unsuccessful. Transfer #2 involved poor thaw of embryo from retrieval #2 so 2nd embryo from retrieval #1 was thawed and re-expanded to 80% and was successful!

i had a retrieval a few weeks ago (at age 39.5). my body and estradiol levels seemed to respond slower to same protocol compared to before. i had 20 eggs, all mature, 14 fertilized, and only one blast - abnormal. i was devastated. i have pcos and took dhea and melatonin and coq10 at the recommendation of my clinic due to age, and i'm thinking that the dhea was a mistake given the pcos. but not sure how that negatively would have affected things.

recommendations for supplements??? on high quality prenatal vitamin, coq10 (but ordered some to be in the form of ubiquinol).

easing into a more anti inflammatory diet to hopefully help.

ideas?!? help :([/quote]
