Hoping to make it to IVF

After a failed IVF and three failed IUIs, I"m hoping I can make it to ER with an IVF attempt. I am on a month repreive given cyst problems.

I have one ovary and haven't been too successful with response from my one ovary. I will only progress to IVF if I get a requisite number of follies.

I plan to contact Cornell to work with a poor responder like me. I appreciate any hopeful thoughts for a person like me.

I am a fellow one ovary person. Cornell is a great place - you should see Dr. Davis there. I've heard very good things about him.

I would reconsider the idea of only going to retrieval with a large number of follicles. As a poor responder, we don't often get many. If you are willing to stim and do ivf, I'd strongly consider going to retrieval with whatever you have.
