No mature follicles at retrieval

Whitney

Has anyone ever had this happen? I’ve gone through two rounds of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> and each time we haven’t had any eggs mature when we do the retrieval. In both cycles we have had at least 6-8 eggs 18/19+ follicle size but still they aren’t maturing. The first time I did a trigger shot of Lupron & HCG. This time they just did HCG. My doctor is completely unsure of what may be causing it and is doing “research” says it’s really rare.

I’m now taking a break, focusing on losing weight and just ordered supplements of dhea & coq10. I do have low AMH but we are getting a decent amount of follicles and mature sized follicles but the eggs just aren’t mature. I feel so stuck. I’ve reached out to two other fertility clinics now to get second opinions but won’t have an answer on that for a few weeks.
