Seeking some advice from the ladies here who seem to have so much information about IVF/medications etc.
I’m at a bit of a loss.
Having ICSI for secondary infertility and just midway through my 3rd cycle. I have paid up for a 4th cycle already so I’m keen to get some advice about what to change/ask for at my next appointment.
cycle 1 - used Gonal-F, looked like I had a fair few follicles on scans, single trigger shot, disaster at egg collection (even consultant was shocked) as only got 2 eggs and the other follicles were “empty” which they couldn’t explain. Did a day 3 transfer. BFN. Nothing to freeze.
cycle 2 - used meriofert 300. Lower number of follicles on scan but decided to go for it. Double trigger shot (had read this can help with empty follicle syndrome). 5 eggs collected. Only 3 mature. Did a day 3 transfer. BFN. Then did a FET - BFN.
cycle 3 - increased meriofert dose to 450. 5 eggs collected. Only 3 mature. Just had a day 3 tranfer
of a 6 cell embryo so not holding out much hope for that and we don’t have anything to freeze.
im just so exasperated at this point. The embryologist thinks it s a quantity issue rather than quality as we have made a blast but an increase in the Meriofert has led to a worse outcome. Pergoveris has been mentioned for cycle 4 but I just wondered if anyone had any successful stories of how they increased their egg count for collection.
my AMH is 5.7pmol and I’m 34.
cycle 4 realistically has to be our last go and it would be nice to at least start off with a higher egg number.
thank you to anyone who can help. I feel like I’ve spent the last few days googling like a mad woman and I’m none the wiser about what to do/ask for.
