[quote=Anonymous]I totally recognize that different things work for different folks, and not trying to say doing things any one way is the right decision for everyone. But:

(1) 3 cycles seems not uncommon at all, considering IVF is basically a numbers game. And we were (very luckily) successful on our first completed cycle of IVF. The cycles that were cancelled were cancelled due to low follicle counts - it's not like we would have had higher counts with less drugs (I understand the debate there is just that with other protocols you may, arguably, get higher quality eggs, not more). We were trying different protocols to see if there was anything we could do to boost the follicle counts...just nothing seemed to work very well. 
(2) Doc was not supportive of trying things outside of the box because, in her opinion, it would not give us any better chance. For what it's worth, the other clinic we almost went to (Columbia Fertility) also did not recommend outside the box options when we asked about it, it's just that it sounded like their attitude about it was, "It's your money and your body, so if you really want to try something different we'll let you". That was my impression of it, anyways.

So just want to tell folks that they shouldn't be scared away from at least doing an initial consult with SGF. If they immediately start pushing you into things you're not comfortable with, sure, go elsewhere if that's what you want to do. This just wasn't our experience, and I want people to know that there are DOR patients who have positive experiences with SGF. [/quote]
