Vivelle Antagonist Protocol

[Anonymous]

I am just starting the patches today and was wondering if there is anyone that has gone through this protocol and would be willing to offer any insight or outcomes. I am going on my third IVF cycle (first two only came up with one egg and two eggs respectively, both BFN). I am 38. I'm on the SG shared risk program but SG warned me that if this cycle is not successful, they might drop me from the program. So there's even more pressure than usual for this time around. Any info or experience with the Vivelle protocol anyone has to offer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I will be starting this protocol at SGF in the next 2 weeks. I wont be able to offer advice but would like you to share your experience. I am 38 and did not get accepted for shared risk and have DOR, low amh and high FSH with 3 antral follicle.

Good luck with everything

I did this protocal on my 3rd ivf with SG too. I had a better outcome than with BCPs. I went from 12 eggs (0-1 blast) to 23 eggs (9 blasts). I was also on DHEA which really helped my egg quality.

I haven't transferred yet (did a freeze-all) so I can't tell you a definitive success story - but the odds are certaintly better.

Good luck and hang in there!!

Emma-
I was wondering how your progress was on antagonist vivelle protocol. I am on the same protocol and go in for my retrieval tomorrow. I have 4 follicle only.

I used this protocol for ivf 2 and ivf 3. My egg count went from 7 to 9 to 12. I believe the bcp one first cycle over suppressed me. I am now 42, going for transfer tomorrow on ivf 3.
