You can save a bundle and it just takes a little longer for stuff to arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2691033 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 17:03:59 +0000 mole 2691033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was curious and looked at my receipts. I started with 4 vials of omnitrope each time, and I think I had to buy a 5th vial for my second cycle because I stimmed longer (which was also probably why my second cycle was much more successful). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2691029 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 16:59:16 +0000 mole 2691029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it for 2 cycles due to suspected egg quality and RPL issues. I don't have anything to compare it to -- since it was a constant in both of my rounds -- but I ended up with 5 pgs normal embryos frozen. </p> <p>And, unlike @purplepumps, I paid way, way more for it than $650. I took 40 omnitrope every day from stim day 1 to retrieval. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2691024 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 16:46:52 +0000 Honeydew 2691024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purplepump: I guess 1/2 a bottle a day is what my dosage will be. They said it is for 12 days. On a side note (my dry sense on humor): my eggs must be supremely old, the HGH better Benjamin Button its way back to a youthful egg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2691021 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 16:34:10 +0000 PurplePumps 2691021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: Holy C!*#$P!!! 6 vials?!? Are you using like half a bottle a day? I got 5-6 days use out of a single vial so I only had to buy 2 for my cycle @ $315/each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2691009 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 16:04:42 +0000 Honeydew 2691009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purplepumps $650? That seems cheaper than what I just dropped on 6 vials. It was closer to $2k. EEK. It is encouraging that you saw improvements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690691 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 07:11:00 +0000 mrswin 2690691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: I was told by the naturopath I was working with that Ubiquinol was better than CoQ10 because it is already broken down and therefore easier for your body to absorb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690601 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 20:38:58 +0000 PurplePumps 2690601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used HGH my 4th-7th cycle and had significant improvement over my 1st-3rd. However, there was also other changes (1-3 my first RE kept dropping my stim dosage where as my second RE held it steady, addition of low dose HCG (same thing as Menopur I believe), and a crazy cocktail of supplements) so I'm not sure if I can attribute the improvement in quality specifically to HGH, but for $650 bucks, I wouldn't cycle without it to find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690288 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 12:22:47 +0000 Honeydew 2690288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have been on DHEA 75mg a day as recommended by my doctor since November. Also taking CoQ10 300 mg a day since December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690279 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 12:08:27 +0000 mrswin 2690279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeydew: Please post your question on the IVF thread as I pretty sure one of the ladies here used HGH during her protocol but the name is escaping me! </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-thread-4/page/20#post-2689522" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-thread-4/page/20#post-2689522</a></p> <p>I have DOR and I did about 4 months of high quality ubiquinol (supplement) ahead of my IVF cycle and we now have an almost 2 year old. My response ended up being better than expected given my AMH levels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690248 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 11:16:00 +0000 LibbyLou 2690248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! I have read that HGH can help egg quality but I haven't used it. DHEA and CoQ10 helped with my AFC significantly. I took them for about 8 weeks before my cycle. My RE prescribed DHEA and I took the CoQ10 OTC </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hgh-quality-of-egg#post-2690241 Wed, 01 Feb 2017 10:56:33 +0000 Honeydew 2690241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi I was an active member of Hellobee and I now have a 3 year old. We are experiencing Secondary infertility. I'm now 41 have DOR.</p> <p>Cycle #1 was cancelled due to slow response.<br /> Cycle #2 changed protocol. Retrieved 8 eggs. 5 mature and fertilized, 3 made it to day 5 and then stopped growing due to the quality of egg.<br /> My doctor is suggesting we change the protocol from Estrogen priming, with femara, 150 menopur, 300 gonal F, Cetrotude to<br /> Estrogen priming, microdose lupron, HGH, 150 menopur, 450 gonal F.</p> <p>Has any one had success with the HGH? Did it improve the quality of eggs? </p> <p>Or is there anything else that has helped you to improve the quality of your eggs? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
