Count of eggs frozen isn’t sane as quality of eggs frozen. Quality factors include clinic freezing techniques and chromosome errors in your eggs. Research clinics (both the reproductive endocrinologist and embryologist) carefully. Consider nutrition and lifestyle to improve count and quality. “It starts with the egg” is a common resource on nutrition and lifestyle factors.

Would you consider becoming a single mother by choice rather than waiting for the next partner?

Wishing you the best on your fertility journey.

Of course!

I did two freezing cycles when I was 43 and now have 13 eggs on ice, just waiting for me to find Mr. Right. I don’t remember what my test results were before freezing, but do know that you won’t regret doing this for yourself.

Thanks EY1. I'll def DM you for more. Very encouraging. Congrats to you both!

Some clinics will cancel before retrieval if the count isn’t looking good and you won’t have to pay for or go through the procedure. If that’s the case, seems definitely worth a shot!

Ok. Thanks a lot. I have a consult scheduled in 2 weeks. I'm hoping they can give me a path to increasing egg count. Agree... nothing to lose by trying.

OP check out SART data on clinics before you choose one. If you are able to travel financially, that’s great but just consider that you may need to do multiple cycles to harvest enough eggs. Your test results should indicate your percentages. Also check out CCRM if you live in CO or can travel.

Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.

In a nut shell, we had baby #1 without trying. Started trying for #2 and over 2 years, I had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopics. In July, my doc informed me that the only way forward was through IVF. I was tired and confused. I PRAYED! and continued trying. (The rest in the comments.)
