Stimulation Protocol Changed

Maddie

Last cycle of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> was a bust due to poor egg quality. 22 mature eggs were retrieved

(17 fertilized), my labs were fine, and I’m young so my doctor was very shocked when no embryo grew passed day 3 and they were highly fragmented. We are starting stims in two weeks for our next cycle.

My RE changed my protocol from follistim with trigger to menopur, follistim, and trigger. I understand menopur has LH and FSH while follistim only has FSH but I’m confused why this is beneficial? Has anyone used menopur for poor egg quality?
