Growth hormones - do they really help egg quality?

[Vassi]

Has anyone had success with this? I took it for 10 days during my last stim cycle and ended up with 15 eggs retrieved (highest number yet) but no blasts.

I'm about to start another cycle and the doc has prescribed saizen again, says its optional but helps with egg quality. Im not convinced as my previous cycles without it I got 3 blasts.

Does it really help? Its very expensive so would love to hear any one else's experiences.

Thank you x

I would try it again as each cycle is different. You may never know it might help this time

as far as I am aware you need to get IGF1 tested for taking growth hormones.
