[quote=Anonymous]Getting more just means that your body is responsive to the FSH.  It's pretty typical to get higher numbers of eggs from back to back cycles.  Numbers have very little to do with quality.  There's not a ton of good info on what really goes on with respect to quality, other than older means lower quality.  Some things tend to have a positive effect (Ubiquinol), some a negative effect, but overall, there is nothing clear anyone can do to ensure they get a good egg and embryo.

If you've done IVF 12 retrievals without success, and you're not making drastic changes, I think you're probably wasting money.  I hope I'm wrong and you're successful this time.  I agree with PPs that say low/no Menopur tends to be better for quality.   Why did you start IVF in the first place?  Usually each cycle is a 2 month process, so it sounds like you started at 37?  Did you go right to IVF (I did b/c of severe MF)?  Just wondering if you've tried other things or there are other issues.  Also, many REs will do a phone consult, so you can get some good insight from leading REs far away without having to go there.  Some charge for the hour call, but it's not a ton.   [/quote]
