Back to back IVF Cyle?

Hi Dr Wisot,
i just finished my last egg retrieval with dismal results - 9 eggs, all immature. It was a bad judgement call from my RE as I only had 1 follicle at 18 and the rest were still small even at 8,9, 10mm. This is my 3rd retrieval and i always stim for 13 days with good result (12/13 retrieved, 10 12 mature each time). My RE has a weekend plan and triggered me on day 10 this time even though i was clearly not ready.
My question now is, i want to start another cycle for collection immediately once i get a bleed in a few days. I need to get my last cycle in for the year or else i lose my insurance cover. Do you know if it will impact my cycle if i start right away? I am thinking that since my antrals were recently exposed to gonadotropins, starting stimulation immediately might help us get more eggs, and more mature quickly too. Is my thinking correct?
Also, do you think i could do about 7 days of bcp when my period comes (in about 5-8days) and then start the injections 3 days after stopping the pills. I am thinking that the pills might help resolve any cysts that might appear after our retrieval.
Or you think i should just skip the OCP and just start stims on day 3 of bleed?
Thank you for your insight sir!
