There is no way to postpone the menopause especially since those are already peri-menopausal or even menopausal levels. Unfortunately there is no fix, especially for fertility issues. You need to discuss this situation with your doctor. Arthur L. Wisot, M. D. Reproductive Partners Medical Group Redo...

It looks like there is a very narrow window in you between a dose of medication that gives you one or two follicles and over stimulation. It seems prudent to me to keep you on the one vial of Gonal-F and although it may take a little longer you should achieve a mature follicle or two, hopefully not ...

Since the stimulation protocol does include a GNRH agonist or antagonistic that should prevent premature ovulation In anticipation of coming to LA you can make a telephone consultation with one of the RPMG doctors in the offic...

This is very discouraging but it can happen even with the best IVF centers. It sounds like the follicles should have been mature from the sizes you mentioned.

1. The biopsy done for the PGS is similar to assisted hatching which can result in easier hatching in embryos with thicker zonas, not necessarily earlier hatching. 2. Apparently your doctors thinks so but I can't say because I do not know the details of their protocol. There would be no physical sig...
