[quote=Anonymous]38 yo, endometriosis, DOR. Had surgery for endo,failed 3 IUI, don’t remember stats but doc said “numbers aren’t great but you are not completely out of the game”. Whatever that means...

10 days past ovulation: start estrogen patch (0.1 mg) -- replace every other day
day 2-6 of cycle; 250 gonal-f & 75 menopur (doses changed over time though), continue patch
day 7&8: cetrotide, gonal-f & menopur [remove patch)
day 9: cetrotide, menopur
day 10: 375 IU menopur, ovidrel at 7:30 PM
day 11: no drug
day 12: 7:30 AM retrieval - ICSI and assisted hatching -- 8 eggs, 6 mature, 6 fertilized, 6 blasts
day 17: transfered the best looking 2 (one hatching) and froze the others
Took doxycycline & a steroid at some point (around retrieval?)
Result: twins (now 7)

So the # of eggs wasn’t spectacular, but apparently quality was good. Younger friend at CCRM (CO) with DOR  had a very similar protocol (she had failed IUI x 3 & IVF x2 at a local clinic & travelled). She had genetic testing of embryos (I didn’t- not standard back  at the time)) & she had  2 successful FETs (1 embryo at a time - would recommend as twin pregnancy is rough even when it goes well). Best of luck & thinking good thoughts for you.[/quote]
