Have faith in Dr. Cold, he was my RE too and he came HIGHLY recommended by friends of ours that are both doctors and did extensive research on REs in OC. Dr. Cold has the best lab in OC, the embryologists are excellent. You are in good hands. I felt the same way about Dr. Cold's attitude but honestly after a few weeks with his office, he REALLY grew on me. I always had faith that I had the best Dr in OC for this job, and I'd rather have that than a "really nice guy". You will love the staff and convenience of the 2 offices too. Email me with ANY questions at all, I'd be happy to chat with you. ocwife1977 AT gmail DOT com.10yearstogetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558489602768601589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380918250889455038.post-29514460661993891572012-01-12T11:32:11.428-08:002012-01-12T11:32:11.428-08:00Oooh, I want to hear about what your IVF doc says ...Oooh, I want to hear about what your IVF doc says about MTHFR.

I have that too, but my RE was not concerned. I had just been tested for B12 and folic acid and everything looked okay.<br /><br />I love all the comments about COQ10 since I too have poor egg quality. I've been taking it since April, but not sure how it is translating to better egg quality. <br /><br />I have to do PGD next time too. So expensive for everything. All out of pocket like you. I was under the impression that they did a 6 day transfer after PGD.<br /><br />Anyway, it seems they are taking good care of you and you know so much of what is going on with your body so I think you're in a great place! :)Laniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494973592822062878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380918250889455038.post-48859646374212384482012-01-11T08:17:03.287-08:002012-01-11T08:17:03.287-08:00Hi Denise-I didn't realize you were in SoCal t...Hi Denise-I didn't realize you were in SoCal too. I just switched-again-and it sounds like this was the right thing for you. I agree that in the end it's the ability and the numbers. My new guy is super sweet, but also very successful, and has recommendation from friends who were my age (40 plus) and achieved success. <br /><br />I've been on co-enzyme Q10 for about 6 months now. I don't know how much or little it contributed, but I went from 1 crappy egg retrieved to over 10 on following cycles. <br /><br />Best of luck to you!TeamBabyCEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682024344964222406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380918250889455038.post-38260900824380627612012-01-10T20:34:42.976-08:002012-01-10T20:34:42.976-08:00I'm really glad things are doing so well with ...I'm really glad things are doing so well with your new doctor.

I actually started taking CoQ10 (200mg twice a day) a few months ago in preparation for this coming cycle. I am also taking Inositol and L-Arginine too. Hoping all of those help with egg quality and am so happy to hear your success story. :)Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220077347464981586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380918250889455038.post-5638482942017150552012-01-10T20:14:38.285-08:002012-01-10T20:14:38.285-08:00P.S.

Just have to tell you that I had tremendously better egg quality after taking large amounts of CoQ10. I did two IVFs and there was much better egg appearance according to the lab, plus on the first IVF I had a chemical pregnancy and on the second I had a live birth. I was also older than you: 38 for the first IVF and 39 for the second. I have told other women about this on a board I am on and about 5-6 have gotten pregnant and had babies too (all late 30s). I took 200mg of CoQ10 and 200mg of Ubiquinol twice a day with meals. Ideally you'd take it about 2 months before cycling. Just consider it and possibly google CoQ10 and egg quality. Good luck!JNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799262460739491238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380918250889455038.post-1653055212242195002012-01-10T20:00:44.813-08:002012-01-10T20:00:44.813-08:00Wishing you the best of luck with this new RE.

I'm starting to feel like it might be time for second opinion for me, too, but I hate going to new doctors, so I've been putting it off.<br /><br />That's great that the RPL pannel actually gave you some useful information and that your doctor is doing something with it. I have MTHFR, too, and I've found that there is a lot of variation in how different doctors treat (or don't treat) it. I hope this turns out to be an important missing piece in your fertility puzzle and that your February cycle goes well!Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614983212919126632noreply@blogger.com
