trying to figure out if I should do a frozen embroyo transfer after testing or fresh transfer of day 3 embroyos. I am 40 and had two miscarriages (natural) within the first trimester. my last ivf cycle only one genetically normal embryo made it after 20 eggs retrieved. please help me make a decision !

Why would you even consider fresh over age 35? Doing a FET allows you to not waste time prepping for a transfer with a non viable embryo.

I have a mosaic condition that causes significant health and fertility issues. I’d never transfer a mosaic embryo personally because I don’t want my child to go through what I have. I believe that this study that everyone likes to reference is irresponsible and gives people false hope.

FET and definitely do the pgs testing to ensure the embryos you transfer are good…it’s well worth it and will save you from a lot of heartache later…however, it’s not a guarantee but more accurate than picking a random embryo and discarding one that could have been the healthy one

my doctor mentioned that he would just transfer if day 3 embroyos dont look like they will make it further.

I will listen to your doctor on this.

We were going to go on a hike and had a hotel booked for a night. Texted him 5 min before arrival and when i was there to pick him up. He hopped in the shower. I got annoyed that he did that because i communicated beforehand to be ready. He didnt like that and said that he thinks that i think my time is more important than his... he canceled the trip and we are not speaking because of this incident... Am i crazy or something?

Had a my 7 week ultrasound today, confirming I’m PREGNANT after my second medicated IUI!!!! So happy to have heard that heartbeat. There were some oddities on the ultrasound- wondering if any of you have experienced any/all of these and how it worked out (doc didn’t sound alarms, just said we’d keep an eye, but naturally I’m worried):
1. Grapefruit sized cyst on right ovary 2. Unknown object with no heartbeat (maybe a hematoma) in the gestational sac with my baby 3. An empty gestational sac

I have been on the antagonist protocol. Wondering if we should try a different protocol vs. switching the trigger. Thoughts?
