My IVF Stats

If you are reading my blog and have either undergone, are undergoing, or are thinking about undergoing IVF, you may be interested to hear what my stats are. So I'll lay them out for you:

Protocol: Microdose Lupron Flare Cycle (Previous failed IVF and FET were Long Lupron)

CD 2 - 8

• 5 units Lupron (sub-q)
• 150 units Gonal-F (sub-q)
• 75 units Menopur (sub-q)
• .5mg Dexamethosone (po)
• 1 baby aspirin
• prenatal vitamin

CD 9-11

• 5 units Lupron (sub-q)
• 37.5 units Gonal-F (sub-q)
• 75 units Menopur (sub-q)
• .5mg Dexamethosone (po)
• 1 baby aspirin
• prenatal vitamin

CD 12

• Trigger @ 11:30pm
• 5 units Lupron (sub-q)
• 1 baby aspirin
• prenatal vitamin

CD 14

• Egg Retrieval
• 10 retrieved
• 10 mature
• 9 fertilized via ICSI

CD 19

• Embryo Transfer

• Day 5 transfer.
• By day 5 we had 3 "excellent" blasts, 2 morulas, 2-3 six or eight-celled, and a few others that didn't look so great. All 10 embryos has survived until day 5 though, which is terrific.
• We decided to transfer the 3 blasts, since we'd previously transferred 2 "excellent" day 3 embryos in our failed IVF and FET cycles.

CD 19-27

• .5mg Dexamethosone (po)
• 1 baby aspirin
• prenatal vitamin
• Crinone 8% 2x day

BETA Numbers

• BETA #1 (10dp5dt) = 38
• BETA #2 (12dp5dt) = 92.3
• BETA #3 (17dp5dt) = 1,606
• BETA #4 (26dp5dt) = 10,154
