[quote=Anonymous]To the poster on 3/9 at 16:13, you are looking at 2 different posters - it’s super confusing!

To clarify, I first posted on 2/16 at 9:15 (mentioned the endo & surgery for endo & being 38 at the time & resulting twins). that first post was the protocol as I remembered off the top of my head - honestly, It’s kind of scary that I remembered those numbers...I think that IF traumatized me!

Someone said it was helpful to hear about the protocol, so then I checked my old emails & listed the full details of the protocol on 2:17 at 14:23.

I then replied to a question on 3/05 asking why menopur went up (egg McMuffin post)

I never did clomid as part of IVF (I had an undistinguished  response of 1 follicle all 3 times I used clomid for IUIs). The IVF protocol I listed is probably really old-school since it’s from 8 years ago. I’m sure they have better ideas now. OTOH, my friend also had DOR said she did a similar protocol about 5 years ago at CCRM & had similarly good results (2 kids from two SETs).

My doc did say that in retrospect  I probably had “good quality eggs” - just not a whole lot of them.  She hypothesized that the ICSI & AH may have been critically important bc old eggs have “thick shells.” There must be something about the transfer too - after the transfer the nurse tried to bet me $ that I’d have twins (I work in the facility where I had the procedure done - awkward! - so theoretically the nurse could have collected). I asked why & the nurse replied (roughly)  “I see transfers every day! dr ___ is a jerk, but she’s GREAT at procedures! She got those embryos right in there - You’re going to have twins!” I remember rolling my eyes & thinking “yeah right lady, whatever”... but she wasn’t wrong.

There are so many moving parts - the pt’s biology, stims, sperm, retrieval, the lab, the transfer... and luck - it’s so freaking frustrating and crazy-making! I really am thinking good thoughts for you!!![/quote]
