Going for my thrid collection🤯🤪adding luveris - anyone tried it?

[Joeysjourney]

Hi all my lovely friends!

We've bit the bullet and decided to go for a 3rd egg collection and leave my little 2bb in the freezer! Feeling slightly mad for trying again and that I'm kidding myself but also going into it with hope and a wish! 42 is just around the corner so want my eggs harvested now.

Baseline scan showed 7 follicles, same as last time over a year ago so I'm happy there hasn't been a big drop. Stims starts tonight! 🙈🤪🤯

Protocol has been adapted this time with alternate doses of gonal f each day, increase in steroids and the addition of luveris.

I've read it can help with egg quality but no idea if that's true. Has anyone else added luveris, did it help? Change things? I haven't had a chance to talk to my consultant about why he's added it but will next week.

Funny enough he had it on my protocol for my last collection but decided against using it due to blood results.

I've also asked for era Emma Alice to be performed during collection in case those results are needed for an fet down the line - if I'm lucky enough to have any frosties.

Oh please wish me luck! I am going to need it! Sadly my gran passed away in December but she left me a little money and that's part-funding this cycle - hoping granny belle brings me even more luck, thank you granny ❤️ x!

Wishing you all the most luck and hope you're hanging in there!

Hey Joeysjourney! Good for you! We did the same. Left a 3ba in the freezer and went for a fresh. Got 11 eggs. Unfortunately none to freeze but transferred 2 11days ago. Beta on Tuesday. I'm just gone 42. My AMH had gone from 5 to 17 so we have it a bash. Not feeling it tho but worth the shot.I was on 225iu of Luveris with 450 gonal F on all my cycles, failed and successful. Had no side effects to it.

Best of luck to you!

Good luck to you Sandy! Xx

So wishing you all the luck in the world for test day! Everything is crossed!

Interesting on the doses. I'm on 225 then 150 gonal f every other day and 75 of luveris! I've nene terribly overstimulated in the past so I might even push for 150 every day! We will see what the next scan says.!xx

All the best. I'm 42 and my I was overstimulated in October. Was at risk of ohss so fresh transfer cancelled. We got 7 eggs out 17 follicles. Was devastated. On another cycle, will be 43 in a few months.

I'm not sure about luveris. I'd say all cycles should be adapted to see what works. Are you on antagonist short protocol?

[Joeysjourney in reply to Hidden]

Yes it's short for me so no down reg. Same as last time! I was also over stimulated and fresh cancelled. It's so very disappointing isn't it. Sorry to hear of your previous cycle. It definitely gets harder for us fabulously forty plus babes!

And I'm sorry to hear about your Gran x

Hello lovely. I just wanted to wish you so much luck! I'm sorry about your granny. I'm sure she'd be so happy to know the money she left you is going towards chasing your dream of a little one. xxxx

[Joeysjourney in reply to Redsequin]

Yes I'm just hoping she's looking down on me and giving me the final push over the line. She had dementia for a long long time but even with that she always asked me about kids. She wasn't in a state to understand but I know she always rooted for me x

[AuroraXen]

I'm so sorry you lost your Grandma Joey 💔 I lost mine 3 years ago and I still miss her terribly 😔 Hoping SO much this is your time! I haven't any experience of luveris but I REALLY really hope this is a good cycle for you and gives you more embryos to go with your frostie 🤞🤞 xxx

[Joeysjourney in reply to AuroraXen]

I know the feeling, I really am still so emotional about it. She passed while I was mid transfer with my last fet so I feel like I had to block it out a little to deal with the fet and failed cycle. So still miss her a lot.

I've everything crossed this is my time! Xx
