IVF or Natural / Natural Modified

[Sian7919]

Hi everyone, unfortunately I just had a failed round of IVF. I had 7 AF and only 3 eggs collected, AMH 3.12. I was hoping for more and previously had a much higher AF count of 14 on a previous scan, so not sure if I just had a lower number that month and it may be higher on another month. I was on Menapur 450IU and Cetrotide. 1 egg fertilised but the shell was damaged and it was not viable. Now we will have to pay and are in the Manchester area.

Does anyone have any advice on whether we should try again with the same regime or try natural IVF. I've heard Create do a package with egg collection and embryo freezing x 3 for approx £10200 for natural modified. We have a consultation next Thurs with St Marys to discuss next steps, but worried they might be too slow and not enough monitoring if we go with them again, as two of my eggs went over before collection.

Any advice, I feel really confused?

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok. Just a little update from me.

We've had two shocks recently... the first a few weeks ago, when I discovered I'm pregnant (naturally), despite my low ovarian reserve. I'm now 7 weeks and had an early scan today, which revealed it's twins. It was the LAST thing I expected!

We're not getting carried away, as twin pregnancies are risky and there are LOTS of hurdles to get through yet.

However, if it doesn't work out, we've decided we probably won't do IVF (and stick with our family of three). I've been immensely anxious for the last few weeks and I think I'd struggle with the waiting and worrying of the procedures.

But if we'd chosen anything, it would have been Natural Modified at Create.

Wishing all of you the very best. xxx

@CC81 what amazing news!! Congratulations ❤️

Thanks @Sunshinelove8 - hope it's helpful for others with low ovarian reserve, to hear that it's possible (though I don't know yet how far it'll go!).

Congratulations and best wishes @CC81 x

Thanks @Sian7919 - and to you. I really hope your private IVF experience is a big improvement on the NHS experience. xxx

Wow! I looked up this thread as I'm with low amh, considering using CREATE. Was looking for insight into pro/cons and seeing your story CC81 has given me much hope! Congratulations 👏 👏

Thanks @Comiston - I'm now 11+5 and had a private scan today - all looking ok so far. Also NIPT results (also ok). Still not getting carried away, but it's encouraging.

Hope all goes well for you, if you use Create. x

I know this is an old thread. I am wondering how you got on in the end?
