I'm at SGF and was told that since I have DOR that after 2 failed IVF cycles there was nothing more they could do and weren't willing to discuss using a EPP or natural cycle IVF. Thoughts?

I was dismissed by Shady Grove and went to Columbia Fertility.

I worked with Dr. Comstock at GW, though I think any of the REs there would have done all of the protocols I tried.

I also tried my best to avoid pthalates and BPA, which basically meant buying glass containers for my lunch and buying fragrance free products where possible (but did not go crazy with this). The book is evidence based and was a good way to weed out all of the non evidence based stuff you see online about improving egg quality. I did not do IVF as I got pregnant on my second IUI cycle (just about 3 months after I started DHEA).

How old are you if you don't mind? And how much DHEA did you take? (meaning dosage per day). thanks!
