HI!
I am new here, 41 yo and gearing up for my first IVF cycle in Oct--getting nervous, especially since, considering my family's finances, we may only get one shot at this. My highest FSH has been 14 and my AMH was 0.34--so I was diagnosed --ARA advanced reproductive age and DOR diminished ovarian reserve. My antral follicle count was 8 total--4 on each side(not bad, I thought!). My RE first wanted me to NOT do birth control and just Lupron and Follistim (high dose). Now he has changed it to me using BCP for 21 days and then doing micro dose lupron--then high dose Follistim b/c he was worried I would over supress. I am thinking about pushing for NO bcps and just estrogen priming during the two weeks between ovulation and stims. What do you ladies think? I really feel like the first time is a crap shoot--I just want to make sure I have made the best decision that I can.
Any input or experiences are greatly appreciated!
