[quote=Anonymous]I agree as well as disagree with the BCPs and I'll tell you why. I am AMA and DOR both. In one of my cycles, I was put on BCP for a very long time (close to 20 days I think) and I responded very poorly. Got 2 eggs none of which made to blasts. I also did a cycle later with microflare Lupron protocol without using birth control pills. That cycle gave me 5 blastocysts none of which implanted. I also had other cycles wit birth control pills for about 15 days where I did not respond quite well. After a lot of online reading, I found an article by Dr. Sher that talked about the importance of birth control pills. I did not agree with what he wrote because I responded poorly on birth control while awesomely without birth control. Took an appointment with him to get his perspective on my case since nothing was working out with me. I told him about my concern regarding BCP. He explained the process and how BCP plays a role in creating a smooth wave of hormones as part of the agonist antagonist protocol. He told me he was confident I would have a decent number of normal embryos if I followed his protocol. That sounded marketing like talk but there was no other option out there anyway. Finally, I gave a try yet again on an IVF cycle but this time at SIRM. I was on BCP for 12 days followed by other medications (overlap of Lupron and then Ganirelix, Follistim and Menopure). I got 9 eggs (a number never seen before) which gave 4 blastocysts and 3 normal embryos through PGD. I now agree that a lot of it depends on the protocol, amount of medications and order of medications. [/quote]
