Need advice re IVF

Hi all,
Im hoping someone may be able to give me some advice. I am supposed to do an IVF this month. I have DOR and my amh is .2. My e2 around day 3 usually hovers around 100. My FSH usually 16-17. My cycles have bene normal at 29 days.
I was supposed to start an IVF in sept cycle but I had a residual cyst from an IUI done in august with gonal-f. And bc of the cyst my e2 was 660. I did acupuncture and herbs to get rid of the cyst and lower my e2. 19 days later I got another period which is odd for me. My E2 was so low at 14 and my FSH went up to 45. Seems the herbs got my e2 excessively down in 19 days, and the cyst was gone. However, my FSH went up really high and my LH has been surging since my september period so almost a month now of daily positive OPKs which is also abnormal for me.
Long story short we started the gonal-f and menopur at the start of my october cycle and i only stimmed four days so far but no change whatsoever. I am concerned this month was a bad month to start. Short 19 day cycle, oddly low e2, high FSH, and LH surging for weeks. I know my amh is very low and time is of the essence, but I also do not want to waste an IVF attempt.
however, I am not sure if these things I mentioned would make a difference in the end and if I should keep trying to stim instead of trying to wait until next cycle. Just seems as though the herbs, cyst, etc sent my body off track. Also with a 19 day cycle my body may not be ready to rush to grow follicles. So confused. Anyone that has any experience with this..i would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.
