Dear phoebe3289 -
The success of IVF has actually very little to do with the extent of adhesions around your fallopian tubes, as IVF bypasses the tubes. In fact, when human IVF was invented back in 1978 it was used almost 100% for women with damaged tubes. It was only in later years that other causes of infertility were treated with IVF.
The most important predictor of success in IVF is your age; if you are 35 or younger, chances are excellent. At ages 36-39 chances are intermediate.
hi,the GnRH antagonist protocol is 1 which shuts down the pitutary by closing receptors&thus stopping GnRH(gonadotropic releasing hormones i.
Hello everyone, I wanted to know, if anyone would be interested in my left over medication at a fraction of the cost. I have 10 vals of menupor (2 boxes) expiration date 08/08 and 30 vals of bravelle (6 boxes) expiration date 11/08 left over. Please let me know, it does not have to go to waste.
HOWEVER, the major reason Lupron is used in an IVF cycle is to shut down all of the natural hormones so that the hormones can be manipulated with medications. Your pregnancy hormones will very likely "overcome" the effects of the Lupron--in other words, the pregnancy will now take control. You should definitely NOT use any more Lupron, and should see your RE/OB ASAP, but you will probably do fine!
Good luck!
2 faint positive home tests and a low hCG positive. It ended in a biochemical pregnancy/miscarriage
my 4th IVF: PREGNANT !!! My 1st beta blood results today: 380. That's a strong strong number. My doctor called and said I was definitely pregnant.
So, out of all my IVF's only the frozen ones worked, so have faith and don't believe that **** about fresh transfers being better than frozen. That is not the case with everybody.
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the polyps were probably caused by the medications used to stimulate your ovaries during IVF and IUI cycles. They may have played a role in your infertility recently, but are probably not the only problem.
Have you considered donor eggs? After 11 years, it may be time to try something like donor eggs or a gestational surrogate if you really want to have a baby.
Good luck!
Has any one done back to back ivf and how was the outcome? Did you use the same medications or used different ones?
Spiriva is an anticholenergic used to treat various forms of COPD, but rarely asthma. The primary function of these medications is to reduce mucous in the respiratory system. They do have a mild broncho-dilating affect. I have not used Spiriva so I am unsure of its dosage, but I have taken ipratropium which is in the same class. As a neb solution it lasts 6 hours and as an MDI it last 4 hours. Check your prescription for dosing on this medication.
Hi BNik7, if you can try to do a new cycle of IVF and leave the frozen ones there. I too had a failed 1st IVF, but I immediately stared my second one and did acupunture with it. Keep in mind that your RE will be able to tweek the medications that they used in your first cycle to a more successful 2nd cycle. Fresh embryos are better. Congrats you did get pregnant, but talk with your RE and see if he can find some solution.
the hCG using pregnancy testing strips, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after the injections. I used a different brand of hCG for IUI and IVF. All test strips were negative. I used them correctly, and they were purchased for the "test-out." I have endometriosis, autoimmune disease that attacks my adrenals, ovaries and reproductive cells (killer-cells). I also tested positive for the FMR1 gene. Triple whammy of fertility hell.
I had a laparoscopy done in Jan 2015, and went for a IVF, but failed. The doctor is planning to have the Da Vinci Robot to remove the cycts. I did some research online, I think the Da Vinci is treated for cancer. And doctor admitted that he didn't clean everything out when he did the laparoscopy in Jan. I want to know if anyone has the same experience that can be shared? and I am thinking to change another doctor, but not sure if this is a good idea. I'd really appreciate your help.
