Hi jjmommy. I realize that it's been a while since you posted this, but i'm only seeing this for the first time. I hope your IVF cycle turned out well and that's why I can't find an update. I am having a very similar experience. I have POI, and at 29 i'm responding to the stimulants very poorly. Infact, i think my first 2 rounds of IVF, i was on a very similar drug protocol. It's so hard to go through what we do, especially while keeping it a secret. So thats why I wanted to drop by and say I'm sorry you have to go through this, your NOT alone, I wish you all the best. xoxo

Hi, thanks for responding to my post! Wow, looking back and reading how i felt that day was pretty bad. To update, our Nov IVF cycle was cancelled due to poor response. Our Dr added Lupron, right after I ovulated to keep my body from early recruiting and so I could have a chance of developing more then one egg. It worked! In Dec they were able to retrieve 5 eggs, which i was VERY happy about. 2 eggs made it to day 5 to be CCS tested, and one came back normal! We were elated :) Our plan from they beginning was to try for two kids, so we decided to do another cycle in Feb, and this time I had produced 11 eggs! I didn't know my body could still do it! haha. 3 made it to day 5 to be CCS tested, and 2 came back normal :) We did a transfer of one embryo in March, and I am currently 12 weeks pregnant today! We still have two perfectly normal embryos on ice for the future, and we are beyond happy. I still can't believe everything we had to go through to get here, but i am sure happy we didn't give up. Infertility sucks and it knows no boundaries for who it effects. I thank God every day for giving us this healthy baby that is growing inside me everyday, and for modern science, or none of this would be possible. Where are you in your journey?? I wish you nothing but the best, and a BFP soon!!
