Hello,
My wife and I have had 5 failed cycles of IUI and have decided its time to try IVF. I am 35 with a low AMH of 2.1, however I have been taking 3 x 75gm DHEA (for 4 months) daily along with Co-Q10 and NHP Fertility support for woman. As well as trying my best at maintaining a healthy lifestyle (no alcohol, chemical products etc).
I've never had many follicles on each cycle, although on my last two cycles of IUI, both looked very positive with two well sized follicles. My question is woman with similar AMH and have experienced IVF, how many follicles did you manage to retrieve? What type of drug did you take, did you change this at all and find you responded better to one type of drug than another?
Previously for my IUI cycles I was on Meriofert and never responded well, in fact I don't think I ever responded to this drug at all, despite being increased after failed cycles. My last cycle I was on Gonal F and my two follicles grew the biggest and best I've ever had.
I realise we are all very different and respond differently, but I am curious to know what I'm likely to expect in terms of follicle numbers/response from treatment with IVF.
Any thoughts we be greatly appreciated. Also I'm thinking low dose seems to have a more positive response to those with low AMH?
