Mini/Micro IVF?

in TTC after 35
Doing some research (very dangerous) and just wanted to know if any of you have tried or thought about a mini IVF? I would especially like to know for those DOR ladies. I am just thinking that it stands to reason if you produce only a few follicles on standard IVF after $7000 worth of meds that maybe you could produce close to the same on $300 worth of meds. I know I produced 2 follicles on Femara and only 4 on Follistim, Menopur and Ganirelix. Plus you are getting better quality eggs whick would be way better for us DOR ladies. Please share your thoughts. I am at at day 6 after a 3 dt and am just not feeling optimistic right now that this IVF will be successful. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

    If I do another IVF, it will be mini ivf or low stim. I agree that the end result is pretty much the same in terms of number of eggs between low stim vs high stim for such a big price difference in the drug cost. My current RE also thinks high stims fries the egg and causes a bad uterine environment.

    If I do another IVF it would also be Mini-Micro IVF, or DE IVF.  I wish that I had started with this type of in the first place, rather than fighting being cancelled every cycle.  I wish that I had done more research about this type of IVF earlier in our TTC journey.  Just stumbled on this info when we were almost finished with our 1 year of TTC with medical help phase.
