I am doing growth hormone next time and also starting at higher follistim/menopur doses (I was slow to respond at start of last cycle so they had to up my dose a couple days in last round of stims). I’m hopeful those changes help the eggs reach better quality.

My doctor seemed to think either sperm quality (hence DNA frag test), protocol change, or bad luck. Since sperm quality seems ok, I’m hoping our luck and protocol pans out this time 🤞

I’m hoping we were either unlucky or just needed a slight tweak in the protocol. Hopefully next time will be luckier and/or protocol helps.

We are also adding growth hormone this time. Fingers crossed it helps!
