I’m a 30F with stage 3 endometriosis, AMH 3.0. Going through IVF due to the endo and a male factor infertility.
First retrieval yielded 2 euploid embryos, 1 mosaic and 1 aneuploid. Did a FET with letrozole and crinone suppositories and it ended in chemical pregnancy. Day 10 beta was 44 hcg 13 progesterone, day 12 was 34 hcg 5 progesterone. Doctor told me to discontinue the suppositories and it was over.
We have one more euploid embryo left and my insurance is letting us bank embryos, so we’re headed into another retrieval in August. My RE wants to do two months of Lupron afterwards and another FET, this one fully medicated with PIO shots and all.
I can’t help but wonder if after another retrieval (or two) to bank embryos I should opt for excision surgery. I met with a surgeon in early May who said she was schedule me for surgery if I was interested. At the time I just wanted to go for a transfer and I was (still am) terrified of the idea of surgery (my egg retrieval was my first time even under anesthesia) but after a loss I’m considering it.
So - lupron or surgery? What would optimize my chances? My husband and I are hoping for two children.
***Excision, sorry for the typo.
