Good morning All! I do aplogise for this long post But I am so grateful for this network and would like to share my story so far and ask if any of you had a similar experience. I had my first egg collection yesterday. My clinic called me this morning telling me that out of the 4 eggs collected, 3 were mature but only 2 fertilised. Will wait for more info. If everything goes well, I will get them PGTA tested (age 41).
I was really struggling during the stims phase. I was put on the short protocol - 375 ovaleap (AMH 7.2) and then from day 5, I was taking ganirelix. From day 5, I started to have pains in my uterus area (not ovaries) and was having brown discharge. On day 5, my uterine lining was good at 6.1. From day 5, the discharge/pain was getting worse. On day 8, my uterine lining shrank to only 2.5 and was told I probably had two hemorrhagic cysts on my left ovary. On day 10, my lining was 3.1. Then they tested the progesterone levels and it was high (10) so fresh transfer was cancelled. On day 12, I started to bleed, similar to period bleeding, until day 15, when I took the trigger shot. At that point, they could see about 7 follicles on the scan. The doctor, who did the egg collection yesterday, told me he didnt see the hemorrhagic cysts. I asked my clinic if they experienced something like this before and was told they didnt have any explanation. I am hoping someone on here had similar experience - period like bleeding for a few days and higher progesterone during the stims phase? I understand our bodies are delicate and these extra hormones can cause stress to the body. Unfortunately, the fertility clinic didnt do any scan or blood test before stims which I think would have helped (I had enquired about that before I started stims but was told it wasnt necessary). Thank you!
