Flare (microdose lupron) Protocol vs Lupron (long lupron) vs Antagonist Protocol

Today we went to see another reproductive endocrinology (RE) our friend recommends. It was our first meeting with him. Something we have learned so far;

We already learned from Dr. Wong (1) that Lupron helps synchronous eggs and make them progress at the same rate and mature at the same time. The downside is it can suppress the ovary too much that no eggs or less eggs will be released when trigger (hcg)

The Antagon/antagonist protocol (we had) can give more follicles/eggs. But they are not at the same stage (some mature, some aren't). Thus, can result in only a few mature eggs.

This RE doctor (Dr Wong (2)) suggests Flare protocol. The protocol uses Lupron in microdose with the hope that it will not suppress ovalry too much to preven it from ovulation.

High FSH Level

Yesterday we went to see our doctor for a post-IVF consultation. Now we know why Nui needed a lot of Gonal-F (stim med) to stimulate the eggs. Last cycle she had more than 6075iu of Gonal-f (FSH) and 825iu of Menopur (FSH+LH). And we got 9 follicles.

Doctor told us Nui has high FSH level (normally it means Day 3 FSH is higher than 10).

Below is her history FSH level. It is interesting that we do not have the FSH level data from the IVF cycle we just had.
Sep 08 = 5.1
Oct 08 = 15.2

FSH is a hormone, produced by pituitary gland, to stimulate ovary to produce eggs. From what I have read so far, high FSH means the ovary does not response well to FSH, thus human body automatically generate more FSH (by pituitary gland) trying to stimulate eggs. Some say that to fix this we need better blood flow to ovary and uterus. Some also say it may cause from stress. High FSH level should affect to quantity of eggs only, it should not have affect to quality of eggs.

Last night we did some research to find what we can do about it. It seems acupuncture and herbal medicine could be helpful. Many people on internet who has similar problem suggest to read the infertility cure book. The Infertility Cure: The Ancient Chinese Wellness Program for Getting Pregnant and Having Healthy Babies It is only $11, so we order one immediately.
