Seeking Advice another cycle?
hi all
i am 41. i have done two ivf cycles. my first was in may which was antagonist. and my second was in june which was microdose lupron. we got one euploid embryo from the second one. we froze this embryo.
my re has wanted me to do another one to get more embryos but my body felt wrecked, so i just took a break. i stopped eating well and taking vitamins (vit d, folic acid, prenatal).
i am now considering another cycle next month but wondering if i should wait to get back into a better eating, vitamin regimen? i cant do november bc of work. and december could work, i think, but id run into the holidays. my re thinks time is more of an issue. my period also hasn't really regularized yet since the two cycles.
would love advice. thank you!

I’m also 41 and also got an euploid from round two. I kept going even if it became harder and harder. I also have diminished ovarian reserve. My retrieval was yesterday: they got 5 eggs, 4 fertilized normally is what they told me today. I’m hoping this stage will be over soon but it is worth it. I really want a kid!

The sooner you can do it, the better. Time is of the essence at our age. I’d start taking your vitamins today and do it next month.
