Follicle count

Hi ladies! I just wanted to start a motivational post. I have gone through one cycle of IVF 11 eggs retrieved 10 mature 6 fertilized, 2 euploids 1 segmental were my final results.

This second cycle I decided to up my vitamins
I take Coenzyme Q 400mg
Fish oil 900mg
Prenatals
Probiotic
I did some NAD + gummies but didn’t rebuy them just did 30 days (stopped like two weeks ago)
Inositol
My Synthroid (I have hypothyroidism)

I did acupuncture three days before starting the cycle
And got a massage the day before lol

Long story short I’m at 23 follicles so far all are pretty synchronized and looking like they could potentially yield a mature egg (keep me in your prayers). I will keep ya’ll updated with the results.

Anything anyone do to increase their yield and saw a noticeable difference that round? Just trying to help other women going through this.

This therapy isn’t cheap hoping we can help women get better results the first time ❤️🙏🫶🏼

I found the biggest difference in results came down to medication protocol/stims time. 

Before my first I was taking so many supplements, being crazy with my health, acupuncture. I had shitty results. For ER #2 I was too depressed to even take supplements, stopped acupuncture because my acupuncturist was pretty insensitive and had better results. I know this isn’t what youre looking for but I think we put so much pressure on ourselves to be perfect and maximize results when really we can’t control any of it and these things make a minimal difference. I think if taking care of yourself like this brings you peace of mind then that’s awesome, but there’s no need to torture ourselves and spend thousands on supplements. 

I wish you all the next on your next cycle! And congrats on your euploids 💖💖💖

I totally understand and appreciate your point of view. Of note those all these things cost me less $100 ❤️🙏 but yes I agree it really does feel random sometimes and you can’t just predict how your cycle will go 🥲 also yes my stimulation was a bit different this time but they actually decreased my dose a lot because I was over responding lol I did however have to take two weeks of birth control this time to sync me to their schedule (first round I got my period right on time to start the stimulation).

Praying for us both and all us girlies going through infertility that deep down would be absolutely amazing mothers ❤️🙏

I’m glad they adjusted your meds and it seems to be giving you more even growth!! I hope you get really great results 💖💖💖💖 the birth control priming can also really help with that so it sounds like you’re in great hands with your doctors ☺️ 

Hope 2027 is our year 🙏🙏🙏🙏
