Re: IUD removal days before ovulation, safe to try?

This will allow your uterus some time to heal after the surgery and allow your lining to thicken again. I would recom...

Re: All pgs abnormal embryos
It is uncommon for a 28 year old with so many embryos to have them all be abnormal. In general, most women in their 20's will have 50-60% of their biopsied embryos be normal. In regards to what testing could be done, it's difficult to say without knowing exactly what genetic abnormalities were found...

Re: Endometriosis - single or double FET
Stage IV endometriosis is a severe condition that can certainly impact your fertility. I'm sorry you're going through this.

Re: Bad Eggs?
Hello. I'm so sorry that you're going through this. It is possible that the egg quality is the issue. In general, approximately 60-65% of the blastocyst embryos created from egg donors will be genetically normal. The remaining 35-40% will be genetically abnormal. If the abnormal embryos create a pre...

Re: Ovidrel on day 7?
Hello. Without knowing more details about your cycle and your donor's cycle, it's difficult to answer your question. It's possible that Ovidrel isn't being used to promote ovulation in your case, but instead to support your future pregnancy. Ovidrel, which acts the same as hcg, can be used for lutea...

Re: Alternative IVIG
Without knowing more about you, it's difficult to say if other alternatives would be appropriate. I recommend that you speak with your reproductive endocrinologist about what other options may be available to you.

Re: hormone tests
It really depends on the length of your cycles. I would speak with your physician about whether or not cycle day 4 would be appropriate for you.
