Dud ovary?

lizardknitterlizardknitter member
in Infertility

Anyone have an ovary that never had follicles grow when using injectibles for IUI, but it finally started doing some work when using more meds for IVF?  My right ovary has never really done anything - Clomid & TI, and 2 rounds of injectibles (Menopur & Gonal-F) for IUI.  I'm really hoping that the high doses have finally pushed her over the edge and she will produce.

My AFC is 10 (5 each side) and I'm slightly concerned that I won't get many eggs if only one side is working.

Thanks!

    I haven't done IVF yet but my right side is a total dud.  It is much smaller than my left and has reduced bloodflow.  My last cycle on injects it finally decided to work and I had a follie on that side.  Fingers crossed yours gets the memo that it is time to work!

    This last cycle was the first time my left joined the party but I didn't get very good quality from most of them.

    Yes! My left is my dud and did nothing during iui's. But, she was, by far, the winner during IVF! I was so proud of her that I even apologized to her for bad mouthing her for all those years!

    Thanks for the encouraging words ladies!  Just what I needed to hear.  I guess I'm just terrified of getting just a handful of eggs and since I'm 40, very few fertilizing or growing to blast stage.
