I am currently 33 years old and have already had 3 ICSIs. However, the first one was 5 years ago. Last year I stimulated for 2 days with 375 Gonal f and 75 Menopur and then with 225 Gonal f and 75 Menopur. Ovulation was suppressed with Cetrotide and triggered with 2 injections of Decapeptyl. Of 15 follicles, 14 were mature and could be fertilised, we had 8 embryos.
During the IVF this year in another clinic, I continuously stimulated with 300 Gonal f and 150 Menopur. This time I received a Decapepyl depot injection 2 weeks before the start of stimulation for downregulation. It was triggered with 250 Ovitrelle. I had 15 follicles, but only 6 eggs, 4 of which fertilised and we have 2 embryos. This time we are having them genetically tested for the first time (PGT-A). The doctor told me that the result was good, but I was shocked by the high number of empty follicles. I wonder if something could be changed in the protocol next time. Our doctor thought it was good the way it went. But I’m afraid that we’ll end up with so many empty follicles again. My AMH is “only” 1.7 ng/ml, which is within the normal range.
