IvF - 2nd try: Human growth hormone success?

Question

After a failed IVF, my doc is recommending a change in protocol including introducing human growth hormone - which is in experimental phase. In my first egg retrieval, only 3 eggs were retrieved out of which 2 matured, 1 fertilized and that didn’t get to blastocyst.:(
Has anyone seen differences / success with human growth hormone being introduced to their protocol?

Answer

YESSSSSS!!!!! Do it!  My FSH went from 15.9 down to 3 after HGH!

Answer

I had it in my first and only round, which was a success.

Answer

I included HGH in my 3rd round and had a better outcome blastocyst and PGT normal wise, compared to round 2.

Answer

Also, i may have forgotten why he said the testosterone gel bc it’s been a couple of years but did find this article where there’s the conclusion summary that says the testosterone gel helps improve retrieval outcomes. I think he said that was a newer study with smaller results but pointed in the direction of being helpful. It felt like I was doing a zillion things during my cycle but I think that is just how IVF is. Anyway, doesn’t hurt to ask your doc about it too. I just had to rub it on my bicep area every day when they said during my cycle. I read some are told to do the abdomen area.
