Consultation With RMA – Dr Hudson

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

We had a consultation appointment with Dr Hudson about our past two IVF cycles.  In a nut shell based on my past two cycles she does not feel the third one will results in more eggs.

The first cycle I had five follicles with 4 eggs retrieved.  Only three where fertilized and only one made it to day 5.  This is the one that came back with Trisomony 9.

The second cycle I had 4 follicles with 3 eggs retrieved.  Only two were fertilized and both made it to day 3.  Those two embryos were transferred but did not take.  I ended up with a negative pregnancy result.

Dr Hudson suggested I take DHEA three times a day, which is a total of 75mg.  In addition I should start acupuncture.  It has been shown that acupuncture aligns your spirit, blood flow and relieves stress.

Her recommendation for a third cycle will be to use the estrogen priming protocol, since I had the most results the first time with that protocol.

Next week we have an appointment with Texas Fertility Center.
