Clearly, studies examining the aneuploidy rate allude to this.<br /><br />And yes, if your getting LH with your FSH, 150 units may just be the upper allowable limit :)Jayhttp://aboutplanb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-86553906355592698132013-07-06T10:28:50.220+05:302013-07-06T10:28:50.220+05:30My body is so messed up that no matter what, we ha...My body is so messed up that no matter what, we had to do medicated cycles. My 1st IVF (225 menopur)I ended up with OHSS, and 8 blasts. 2 transfers later I had no embryos and 2 miscarriages. IVF 2 was a totally different story. 150 menopur got me 9 blasts. Fresh transfer- twins! 21 months old. FET with the same batch I lost 2 blasts in the thaw and transferred a 5 day blast and a 6 day blast and now have 4.5 month old twin boys as well. The only other changes for me were the addition of synthroid, Folgard, and a low dose steroid (prednisone). Its amazing what a difference another cycle can make. <br /><br /><br />I love reading all of your science behind the cycles. Its people like you that help figure out the small changes that could lead to success for people. I hope this is your time!Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-15800816074427585312013-07-05T18:37:33.655+05:302013-07-05T18:37:33.655+05:30I did have my progesterone checked before I ever d...I did have my progesterone checked before I ever did a medicated IUI cycle. It was borderline- plus my luteal phase was generally 9 days. For me I think the progesterone is definitely worth it. For others, you may be right.MMMSecretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-72987773300272417412013-07-05T02:08:12.227+05:302013-07-05T02:08:12.227+05:30THank you thank for this post.
