I just finished a mini IVF cycle this month. It was my first attempt at IVF and I was pretty happy with my response. Have you ever been on any stims before? If so, how did you respond? I have high FSH and low AMH and my dr thought I would only get a few additional eggs with traditional over mini and it's 2/3 the cost to do mini so that is what we did!
@rachlee2010I've done IUI injectables twice. And both times only 2 mature follicles. This will be my first attempt at ivf too. I'm currently on clomid (day 2-6) and gonal-f protocol (day 9). I go in for scan this Friday. May I ask what was your protocol? How many eggs did you get during retrieval?
Wishing you the best! Hope everything works out for you.

@JustLilOMe I also only ever got 2 follicles with my iuis. For my mini ivf I did letrozole days 2-6 and Menopur starting day 4. Added in cetrotide to prevent ovulating around day 8. I had about 5 follicles before my retrieval and they got 3 eggs. All were mature. 2 fertilized and only 1 grew to day 5. It's frozen now. So not the best results but at least we have 1 to put back in
good luck and keep me posted on how you are doing and how things look
@rachlee2010So not so good news. Went in for ultrasound on Friday and today. Only one follicle. Quite disappointing. Follicle is growing, will need to go back Wednesday for another ultra sound. My doctor says she want to do several mini ivf so I can bank more eggs/embryos.
I asked about about doing regular ivf. She does not think I will respond to high meds..
When are you planning to put embryo back in? Best of luck. Keep me posted.
