Hi! I'm new to IVF and to this board and would like some advice. A bit of history...I'm 32, DH is 31; TTC for 3 yrs. Did 2 IUI w/injectables and both BFN. Up to now we've been "unexplained". We started an IVF cycle in early June (BCPs then Follistim/Luveris) but I only made 5 follies. Doc says that my FSH was elevated this month (17.8 vs. earlier results between 3-5) so that combined with my poor response makes me a "poor responder" and means I have lower quality eggs.
Does this make sense? Does a one-time high FSH value and lack of response mean my eggs really suck? For our next cycle she wants to try the microflare protocol w/lupron but she's already talking about a potential need to use donor eggs in the future if this cycle doesn't work out. This seems extreme to me since we haven't even officially tried IVF.
Advice???
