Short Protocol - not responding

Hi all, I'm day 9 of stimms on a short protocol and am hardly responding. My endometrium is still only 3.7mm! Not many follicles and all quite small. I am on Menopur in the morning and buserelin in the evening. Has anyone else had this combination? I am 42 and this is my first round. Am I a hopeless case?

Maybe ask about whether they’ll let you add another drug like gonal-f into your protocol?

Hoping your clinic may be able to adjust your medication in order to help give things a boost for you x

Hi, I'm on the short protocol too. I'm on 450 menopur and certitude. I'm on day 9 and I'm barely responding, 2 follicles so far. I've got another scan tomorrow morning but because my AMH is low and I have blocked tubes so I'll have to wait and see. Definitely speak to the nurses etc and see what they can suggest for you. Good luck xx

Hello, my cycle was abandoned in the end unfortunately. Going to try again in a couple of months hopefully, with a new plan. Good luck to you xx
