My nurse, Greta, called this morning, but called from a blocked number so the call was sent straight to voicemail because I have a block on my phone to prevent calls from restricted numbers.
Unfortunately, out of the seven eggs, so far, one of them was mature and fertilized. The others are being watched if and when they mature, will be fertilized later. The last two cycles, I had immature eggs at retrieval and they matured later that day and then were able to be fertilized so I will will keep my fingers and toes crossed that these eggs do the same. The E2 level was 1100 so that would indicate that the eggs, at least 5 of them, should have been mature.
This morning, I feel like I am on a job ! It is so daunting to devise a plan to take all the meds and injections and spread them out so that they do not interact with each other.
I am skipping my synthroid for a few days since my TSH is .04. I took my antibiotic with breakfast and took the asprin. I will wait until mid morning to take the prednisone. At lunch, I will take the folic acid, prenatal vitamin and b6. I did my neupogen, lovenox and PIO injections this morning. I also have instructions to insert 3 Estrace vaginally. I am still bleeding and experiencing blood clots, so I did the first dose and emailed the nurse to find out if I should just take the others orally until bleeding completely stops. My nurse instructed me to continue to insert them vaginally and the bleeding should slow down. It has slowed down a lot since yesterday. If it does not stop, then I will have to go into the office tomorrow and be seen by the doctor.
My transfer is scheduled for 11 am on Tuesday. I am scheduled to do acupuncture at 10 am.

I hope many more of your eggs mature, so that you have more embryos to work with. What were your numbers for your previous 3 IVFs? Yes, I’m on a similar drug regime, and it is quite a schedule. How much prednisone do they have you on? I hope you heal up well, and I’m sending you lots of luck for Tuesday 🙂

Do they know why your previous IVFs didn’t work?

The 1st worked and resulted in a miscarriage at 8wks. The think it was an autoimmune. The next two, the embryos were not good quality. Only one was that was a frozen from the 1st cycle. It did not stick either. My next step is to just use donor eggs. Could be that my eggs are just aged now and young eggs would fair better.

Yeah I lost mine around the same time too- chromosomally normal- so they looked into autoimmune as well. Turns out my NK cytokines were elevated, hence the 10mg prednisone + blood thinners. I hope this round works for both of us!

I was on 10mg of prednisone, intralipids, asprin, and lovenox during my first ivf. It is really a matter of them finding the right cocktail to keep the immune system suppressed and doing weekly blood tests to chart it. Wishing you all the best ! I only have one embryo to work with and hoping that ONE survives.
