[quote=Anonymous]If money is not an issue, I would strongly recommend a consult with Dr Davis at Cornell in NYC. I was a poor responder and did much better on a low-stim protocol with him. I was 38-39 going through IVF (40 now) and these were my cycles:
Round 1 - high stim protocol - ovulated early (which happens with DOR patients) but looked like there were 3-4 follicles
Round 2 - high stim protocol - 3 eggs, 1 embryo transferred at day 3, ectopic
Round 3 - high stim protocol (Lupron) - no eggs retrieved 
Round 4 - switched to Cornell - low stim protocol - 5 eggs retrieved, 3 3-day embryos transferred, no pregnancy 
Round 5 - Cornell again - low stim protocol - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 embryos developed, 3 3-day embryos transferred - currently 33 weeks pregnant. Dr Davis made two changes to my protocol (1) adding estrogen post-transfer, and (2) assisted hatching.

IVF is so hard and even the best doctors can’t guarantee a result, but my personal experience with Dr Davis was that his office was extremely well-run, I understood why he was making the decisions he was making, and he helped me to remain optimistic despite my poor response to the stimulation drugs.

Very best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
