I don’t agree with all of what your dr said. I believe from my experience of 7 ivf cycles that it’s all in the med combo and some to do with the amount of med. but I wouldn’t forgo injectables entirely. There actually isn’t a ton of research to back up mini ivf. But there is a lot to back up putting a limit on the dosage. I went to the “best in Boston” dr. He was a moron. Completely disregarded my health and research and gave me huge doses of meds because “I was DOR and over 40” he basically gave up and didn’t care. My arguing just made his treatment worse. He added clomid to the mix which is not good for some women at our age when mixed with gonal f because both raise FSH. I switched drs and my new dr used research and experience to tailor a protocol to my needs. My new protocol was HGH to increase egg quality. A lower dose ( compared to other dr, but still high dose in general) of gonal f and menopur. I am currently 7 weeks pregnant from the frozen transfer. My new dr also believes u need to do frozen transfers to get the meds out of your body before transfer. I agree. Never do back to back ivf or fresh transfers. The body still has excess meds that can effect results. I saw that myself from my own ivf cycles
Clomid and IVF
My doctor told me that the injections can cause the egg quality to worsen. So instead of injections before ivf, I’m only doing clomid and then a trigger shot right before egg retrieval.
Has anyone else done this protocol??
If so, how many eggs did you get?
