Stimulation Protocol

So yesterday after various emails and reminders i got some replies from my clinic.

I did two cycles with this particular clinic back to back.

Cycle 1 was 15 eggs all fertilised but only 2 blastocysts

Cycle 2 was 9 eggs 4 fertilised and 0 blastocysts

I asked my doctor why there was no change in my protocol from cycle 1 to 2? The doctor is saying a change ln proticol will not yield any better embryos. I was on gonal and cerotide for both.

She seems to implicate my eggs are no good and nothing can be done about it. I asked for supplements and she said there aint any that are proven to work.

Anyone here had a change in Protocol which subsequently yielded a better outcome?

Hi Lorita

I had Gonal first round and Menopur second round. Better results with Menopur which yielded more blastocysts. I am PGS testing and the second cycle yielded One Viable embryo following genetic testing which is now on ice.

I will do a third round using the Menopur.

I am also taking Ubiquinol. Every clinic and person is different.

Wishing you the best.
