[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any chance that you're being overstimulated during IVF, and that's frying your eggs?  
I also had PCOS, and I was on a very low and slow protocol for stims, specifically to try to NOT damage the eggs, according to my RE.  I know so many women with PCOS who were overstimulated and had 30-40 eggs retrieved, but then only one or two viable embryos.  
I don't think a lot of people realize the relationship between PCOS and egg quality [/quote]

NP, I was going to say this too! 30 eggs retrieved at 38 years old sounds really high to me. Not a doctor obv, but at least ten of my good friends have done multiple rounds of IVF, and no one was getting that many eggs. Most people were getting avg 8-15. Anyway I’m so sorry you’re going through this…I’ve been there too, and I ended up doing multiple rounds because I would only get 1 or 2 euploid embryos per round. It’s so hard…hang in there!

My baseline, no hormones was 26 follicles. My team chose not to treat my PCOS in any way or take it seriously. I finally saw my 7th doctor that specializes in my kind of infertility who is treating my PCOS.[/quote]
The average doctor stops studying the day they get their medical license. It is absolutely possible to know way more than them on a fringe topic in as little as 60 minutes on google, I am sorry to say. [/quote]
