As the title said the number of mature eggs is always very low (4/7, 6/10, 5/8, so never more than 60%), despite using a dual trigger, both of them at full dose.
I have discussed in vitro maturation with the embryologist, who said that results are not that great and they don't do/suggest it, and it is a problem better discussed with the consultant.
Has anyone experienced this? What did you do that improved your maturation rate? What should I ask my consultant?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I have similar problems to you although my worst cycle was 33%. My best gave me 70% maturity which i was really pleased with.
For this one i was given a dual trigger (2 x ovitrelle plus suprecur) and the instructions were to wait an extra day before triggering. I assume that means the follicles are left to get slightly larger than they would for most people. I also did accupuncture in the run up.
Do you mind me asking which trigger drugs you have been given? I was switched to ovitrelle from gonasi as it contains 6250 of the drug vs 5000 so you get a bigger boost.
Oh that's interesting as i only had 0.5 suprecur. Worth asking about the ovitrelle though. My worst cycle was with 2 x 5000 gonasi but i have read that these drugs just differ from person to person.
Just to give some update. Before I could mention 2xOvitrelle, the doctor suggested 3x5000 Gonasi, without Supracur. Starting the next cycle in a few days, let's see what happens xx
