0 eggs at 4th egg collection - empty follicles - have you had similar issue or have any advice please?
Hi All, At my 4th egg collection 0 eggs were collected :( Previous 3 rounds I was on 450 Meriofert short protocols and had 7, 7, 4 eggs with 3, 2, 1 blasts. At 3rd collection had 12 follicles over 17mm but only 4 eggs as most follicles were empty. I have changed clinic for 4th cycle and was on 375

Progynova blues
I'm on day 8 of progynova estradiol tablets (3 x 2mg daily) for a modified frozen cycle and feeling..... meh. I've been feeling ok apart from a few headaches but yesterday the blues hit hard and I just feel so disconnected and like I don't care about anything. I have been feeling so bored and unmotivated

FIRMAGON INJECTION REACTIONS
I know from reading about the side effects from Firmagon that swelling, a hard lump, redness, and pain at the injection site is normal and can last for 3-4 days, but it doesn't talk about how intense that swelling will be or how large the hard lump is. I've had 2 injections so far, the initial 2 120mg

Bone Density - Dexa
I read somewhere that in the pre-Lupron days when DES (Diethylstilbestrol) was commonly used, bone loss was not a major issue. My 19-year history falls into three phases: i) continuous testosterone [T] ii) alternating 3-month periods of ADT & T iii) my version of BAT (LongBAT) - a single T injection

MRI after radiation and apalutamide and Lupron
Found 2 positive lymph nodes below the Illiac Artery 6 years after Proton Radiation. Started Lupron in May of last year. Abiterone failed for me due to fatty liver. Been on Apalutamide ever since. Radiation in November. My numbers have been great since my radiation. My PSA has been <.02, and my

Has anyone used testosterone gel (topical testosterone) to help improve egg quality?but had uncomfortable side effect?
I've been on the gel for a while now, on and off. I'm writing today to see if anyone has experienced acne on your labia or lumps inside the skin of your labia. (This is why I've been using on and off because once I stop, they go away) I have gone down the google rabbit hole, but cannot find anything.

Hopefully On The Right Course
I have dealt with hypothyroidism and surgical menopause for several years. I did really well on oral estrogen and later put on levothyroxine when diagnosed with hypothyroidism and continued to do well until I didn't. Long story short I have seen several conventional and functional medical doctors for

I am currently receiving radiation treatment at UCLA under Dr Kishan on the Viewray (20 treatments vs 5 due to Prostox DNA test showing high risk to long term SE's from higher dose of radiation) and only have 2 treatments to go.

Epigenetics - Heritability - Cadmium
Soon after diagnosis I joined a group headed by a man who viewed PCa as a modern disease with its origin in the womb. His bugbear was "Estrogen-like endocrine disrupting chemicals" (EEDC). I had come across the weird PCa risk factor of the second to fourth digit ratio, which seemed like voodoo science
