40 DOR. Re asked to be on bc for 15 days before starting the cycle , because my period has delayed . But didn’t explain why 15. I’m worried that being on bc for that long can oversuppress.
The other option is to wait till period start and then +3.5 week till luteal phase. But that’s just to wait longer to start. And at 40, time is not the best friend.
Anyone with dor has experience with bc? Will it oversuppress? Which option would be better?
40dor.
My period has delayed for 10 days and my last ER was 4/1 then period came 10 days later and started bc (Enskyce) originally to prepare for scheduling, but stopped it two days afterwards due to lots of side effects.
Not sure if because of all this, my current period is delayed.
To prepare for next ivf cycle, re asks to start bc until originally planned late luteal phase. But that’s like half month of dose. Current e2 and p4 is low.
Will taking it for this long oversuppress my ovary and have it less responsive to meds during the stimulation?
What bc is less supprpressive on dor, and less side effect? Usually taking for how long to be less suppressive?
Not sure if this is purely for scheduling purpose, then Is it OK to take it for less days and start the cycle sooner? because last time I started taking birth control, it gave me lots of side effects, like headache, backache, fatigue, brain fog kinda of thing, so I have to stop taking it.
Anyone eating protein powders that’s are good for fertility? Maybe anti inflammatory as well. Have been doing weight training in between ivf cycle . Constantly feel hungry next day after the weight lifting. Looking for good protein options.
Does your fertility benefit cover pgt a test? I’m about to exhaust my primary and got a secondary from Cigna/ win through spouse. Win mentioned their pgt test has very strict criteria like 2 clinical loss or 3 transfer failure. I had 1 miscarriage years ago and 1 FET failure and 40 dor , and recent ER yielded all aneuploidy.
Not sure if anyone successfully got their pgt test through insurance when the policy is strict or against it ?
I heard you can rebuttal if it’s declined like having the re talk to the medical director of the insurance . But I also heard this might take long and success not guaranteed. Anyone tried it before ? What was it like
40 DOR.
Does anyone taking Nac , L-carnitine? Is it helpful in terms of getting more eggs, blastocyst? I heard maybe no direct linkage to euploid rate. What’s your experience? Brand and dosage you took?
I currently take prenatal, 600mg coq10 ubiquonol, which contains 750mg omega 3, going to start tru niage 1000mg. Thinking of perhaps adding others
Has anyone used a secondary insurance to coordinate with primary for fertility coverage? Did it work?
I have Progyny but don’t have enough smart cycle left for a ivf freeze all, and got a secondary insurance through Cigna and win fertility . But heard that I may need to exhaust the primary ( Progyny ) first before using the secondary. But in that way, id have to pay an out of pocket portion as I dont have sufficient left in Progyny.
Does anyone get it working in a similar situation, in terms of two insurances coordinate? Is it gonna take longer to pre authorize ?
40 DOR.
Anyone taking NAD for fertility ? Is it helpful, and side effect ? If so, which brand, and dose ?
I heard it’s also helpful for post strength training recovery, which I have been doing
do you have experience with kids traveling internationally on their own? I’m considering whether to let my 8 year old take an international flight to our home country by himself, with our family picking him up at the destination. I’ve seen that airlines offer unaccompanied minor services, and I know other families with kids around his age have done this. My kiddo likes the idea and is excited about going and visiting grandparents. I’m mainly weighing the uncertainties involved, He’s a little addicted to game like Minecraft, but we control the screen time on his game console and tv at home. Just a few uncertainties if we were not by his side.

40 DOR. Recently had a ivf er with 3 blasts but none of them are euploid. Currently have 1 euploid in ice. Plan is to continue ivf.
I’m wondering if it’s safe to TTC in between ivf cycles? My plan is to do another cycle but in about 1.5 months during the period after next .
Anyone had similar experience, especially at your 40s. What’s your advice
