Had a failed first IVF cycle with 0 euploid. Starting a second cycle soon and contemplating back to back retrievals. Hoping to give myself the best possible chances since I’m close to 40 — so thinking about back-to-back retrievals as a way to get at least one or more euploid embryos, with a bit of a buffer if the FET isn’t successful.

Anyone else had back to back retrieval? And how would that typically be sequenced — do you go straight into stims after retrieval, or wait for a period?

I did a back to back retrieval with a period in between. So retrieval, period after retrieval, immediately into stims. My second retrieval went better than my first (but we also tweaked the meds) and my side effects for the second were the same as the first (not any greater). I think my retrievals ended up being like 4-6 weeks apart. I am so glad I did the back to back! Good luck!

This is what my doc dic--one rest period in between. GL!

I am in a similar boat and decided to do b2b retrievals. Sending you good vibes and positive thoughts!

Hi all 👋 does anyone have any recommendations for career switchers trying to land entry-level digital marketing or social media coordinator roles?

I would really prefer a smaller marketing agency where I can wear many hats and learn the ropes from scratch. Thanks in advance 😁
