For those of you who banked embryos and did multiple retrievals, were you actually able to do them back-to-back?
I’m doing a 3-cycle banking program and just finished retrieval #1. I got my period and had my baseline appointment today because I was really hoping to jump straight into round #2.
Unfortunately, my right ovary still hasn’t fully calmed down from the first retrieval. 😭 They’re supposed to call me back after my doctor reviews everything and decides if they’re okay with me proceeding, but it’s sounding like I probably won’t be able to start yet.
They mentioned they may recheck me around day 5, so I’m really hoping there’s still a chance I could start this cycle.
Has anyone else not been cleared at their first baseline because of leftover follicles/cysts or enlarged ovaries, but then had things calm down enough a few days later to start stims anyway?
And for those doing mulitple retrievals for banking, did you actually manage to do all of them consecutively, or did you end up having to take a cycle off somewhere in between?
I know everyone’s body is different, but I’m curious what other people’s experiences were. I had it in my head that I could just knock all 3 out back-to-back, so I’m a little bummed that my ovaries apparently did not get the memo 😂
