IVF canceled. Looking for Florida RE use human growth hormone. Please help!

I just had a canceled IVF cycle due to DOR,  then converted to IUI, also failed. 

What made me feel worse is that the doctor I saw in Florida just kicked me to the curb even BEFORE my cycle was finished because they only found 2 follicles during stim (they didn’t even bother to change the dosage during monitoring). When I asked the doctor if we can try another cycle with different protocol. He just shook his head and shrugged. He promised 30% chance at our first consultation but now he basically gave me a death sentence. I am devastated.

I heard about some DOR girls had success with mini-IVF with Human growth hormone protocol, and no birth control pills. I think its what i need because after the birth control pill, my ovary has become "very quiet" according to the nurse. I have been talking to my local RE and none of them use Human growth hormone. I heard about CCRM but i read many horror stories about their financial department (charging services not performed and double charge the customers and the insurance, etc.) Also, my husband had vasectomy, so he had a testicular biopsy done and get his sperm frozen in my local clinic, I am worried the long distance shipping would cause issues for the sperm. I feel i am running out of options...I am desperate. 

If anyone knows a good doctor in Florida use Human growth hormone and no birth control pills, please let me know. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! 

Protocol used: 

Birth control pill for one week

STIM: Letrozol 50mg (5 days); Gonal-F (300 IU for 10 days) ; Cetrotide ( 2 days) 

Trigger: HCG

I’m sorry this has happened to you. I have DOR and recommend Tennessee Reproductive Medicine in Chattanooga. They are a smaller practice. I used HGH during my ivf cycles. They may be able to work it out for you to have local monitoring. They are open to different protocols to try. Good luck.

@bump8, how many clinics in Florida have you called to ask about this? Like I said over at TTGP, so sorry. My heart breaks for you.

Thanks. I have checked a few in central Florida location (Orlando area)  and the doctors all seem old cookie cutter. I will check out TTGP. Thanks so much!

We were already on TTGP. That's where you posted the first time. Hopefully now that it's Monday, other ladies will chime in who are much more knowledgeable about that region than I am.

I'm in Florida and my RE has a small clinic but I don't know his thoughts on HGH or anything like that. I do know that I had a very good experience with him and he tends to be very pragmatic in his work and has a great team. His lab director is pretty awesome too! I don't know if his office is what you are looking for as I had pretty straightforward treatment luckily but it can't hurt to look into them as we are only a few hours south of you in Palm Beach County --- the clinic is Boca Fertility.

There are some other clinics around, IVF Florida being the big kahuna, but my experience is with that one. I had a not so good interaction with a clinic near my OB's office in Boynton Beach and found the one I went with far more comfortable for me.
