Low quality eggs - had my ER couple days ago and had less that 50% fert rate. Doctor said my eggs were of low quality, dark, with vacuoles, and thickened membrane. I am 40 with 35 day+ periods. We did the basic antagonist protocol and got 20 eggs. Taking coq10, myoinositol, fish oil, metformin. Anyone experience this but go on to have success? What worked? Thanks!

I was reading something about ovarian rejuvenation by the way of injecting stem cells into the ovaries. Look into that. I can’t remember if it improves egg quality. I want to say that from what I recall it stimulates the creation of new eggs… wild right?

True, it's called PRP I think.

I also had a low fertilization rate- under 30% and have DOR and male factor. We had A LOT going against us and did many retrievals to get one embryo to transfer. What “worked” (I think) was doing Aimee raupp’s egg quality diet and recommended supplements and lifestyle changes- the round I did that was the round we finally got an embryo. She has many books and is a great follow on Instagram to learn more about her approach. She really specializes in women in her 40s. The diet is intense and difficult at first but like anything fertility, worth it in the end. Good luck! 💕

50% fert rate is not bad at all. How many embryos did you get?

Ended up with 20% blast rate. Sent 2 embryos for testing.

I posted here some months back about my ectopic pregnancies but today, I'm posting to tell you all to hang in there and God will do it for you. (Please don't insult me of you don't believe in God because I strongly do).
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.)

Hi all! So first, husband and I are both 28. I’ve been pregnant before and had previous child at 23. I was obviously way younger. Didn’t even try to get pregnant back then. Fast forward five years later, want a baby badly. I am 50 pounds more than I was at 23. And my periods are now irregular. I do get them every month which the obgyn thought was a great sign. But I’m still not pregnant. I cant pinpoint ovulation as some months my period is 29-32 days and last month it was 45. Help

Please help. I am 32 and I have always had regular periods. This time my doctor said I have small ovarian cysts on both my ovaries, and it could be water based & most likely caused due to stress cntd

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
