Dear Dr Sher, your A/ACP protocol is rather long, mostly u would start with BCP and GnRH agonist and wait for a period before starting on GnRH antagonist then Stim. Could it be possible to start GnRH antagonist right after spontaneous menstruation and then Stim? Will it work too? U mentioned this option in another entry but overall I see that you seem to advocate the long treatment with BCP.

I have failed two cycles so far with down regulation Agonist treatments, all embryos did not implant..seeming poor quality I assume. I am 37 and have lower ovarian reserve 6.0pmoL.

Would appreciate your comments. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Sher,

I am beginning my second round of IVF shortly, and my doctor has prescribed a protocol that sounds similar to what you've described above. I would take 3mg Centrotide on day 2 of my cycle and begin Follistim around day 7, adding more Centrotide once the follicles reached about 14mm.

I am 32, "lean" PCOS with insulin resistance, mild/subclinical hypothyroidism, and high DHEA-S levels. No male factor. With metformin and thyroid medication, I have begun ovulating normally but without pregnancy. We have had a year's worth of unsuccessful clomid/letrozole + IUI cycles and one IVF that resulted in a biochemical pregnancy (I responded well to that cycle, with 11 fertilized eggs but only one good quality blastocyst transferred on day 6). All my doctors have agreed that suppressing me prior to stimulation would be beneficial for egg quality, but I haven't come across a protocol that starts suppression on Day 2. Have you heard of this? Any ideas or suggestions as to a good approach?

Thanks for your thoughts.

My husband and I have been married for almost 7 years. We spent the first 3 years of our marriage trying to have a child. We ended up spending over $50K in treatments & medications, but finally in 2006 were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. We would love for our daughter to have a sibling. My wish is that we could find a fertility doctor to discount the rates or donate his time so that we may be blessed with another child. We have so much love to give. I have faith that God will find a way to make this happen. If anyone knows of any good doctors in Missouri please share your information with us. Thank you & God Bless!
