Who was the "right RE" and how was your protocol different? [/quote]
that was me. I googled and searched forums for my diagnosis and got a feel for the protocols people were on. I then went to meet new RE's and asked them lots of questions. The one we went with was very open to estrogen priming and mid dose stims - something i had read good things about. She was also ok with doing 3 day transfers which some believe with DOR have better outcomes (this is controversial). My first RE was old school and would not even entertain the thought that I could possibly have any input in my protocol and honestly I didn't see him ever during monitoring. The RE we went with for our second IVF was with a smaller boutique type clinic and we saw her every appointment and for retrieval. She was also very responsive on email and was open to looking into immune issues as well.  
What I also liked about her was that she was open to "waiting for a good month". I went in the day after ovation four months in a row for an AFC count - since it varies month to month and mine are usually low. She waiting until I had a resting AFC of 6 (which for me is great - it's usually 2-3), and that's the cycle we started estrogen priming and then stims. I liked that we weren't in a rush - she really wanted the best result and wasn't just cycling for cycling's sake.
