Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Ashy,

I got to know that u r a doc by some threads here on this message board.

If you can guide a lil bit, it' ll a gr8 help.

I was to undergo IVF in this month. I had only two follicles in my left ovary n my right ovary was silent. But after stimaulation (taking Gonal F -300 IU for three days and menopur- 375 IU for three days and then again Menopur - 450 IU for two days), the doc found out that my follicles are not maturing as they shld. She stopped medications saying that she has already given me enough n asked to wait for three days. After that she found out that the follicles have now matured n she gave me injections for keeping them intact--( 3 no. menoper - 75 IU and 3 no. orgalutin - 0.25 IU). She called me after three days n in the ultrasound, she found one of my follicles out of only two had shrunk (inspite of taking injections). She decided to drop IVF in this cycle. I dun blame her in any case. But what i wud like to know is that, I have been told that that due to endometriosis, much of my ovarian tissues are now degraded n hence the ovaries are not responding much. Only max two follicles are produced every time n each cycle.

My question is, I' ve heard n read a lot about the technique called \" IVM--in vitro maturation\" . Can this be done in my case where two follicles can be taken out n can be matured in lab??

Can they take out two follicles in one cycle n cryopreserve them and then take out two more in another cycle n then start the procedure of IVF in the second cycle with these four follicles??

I' m really depressed n helpless. I had asked my doc about this but cudnt find a genuine reply. Kindly help. I' ll be very gr8ful to you.

all the best n god bless xx replied. Hi
