Human Growth Hormone(HGH)?
Human Growth Hormone(HGH)?
So, this will be my 3rd fresh cycle. I'm 35 now and have always been a poor responder to IVF protocol, less than 8 embryos at each retrieval. My dr. has changed my protocol this time to include HGH and testosterone cream on top of the other stims. Have any of you tried HGH and had a better result of quantity & quality?

I'm not sure what mine new one will b but im.going to ask my doc about this stuff to see if it will help . I'm poor responder also and low OR . 1 cycle got 6 eggs first time and only one made it to 3 day transfer. Cycle 2 got 4 eggs only one to transfer on day 3 . Both ended in miscarriage. So i need something new and different to help me .

I did hgh with my third Ivf I got three embryos. One was normal. Not sure if hgh helped as i usually get 1 embryo. But I would use it again since we got another healthy embryo

I used it for my second and 3rd Ivf. Second cycle I got 8 eggs and two made it to day 5 but both failed genetic testing. My 3rd cycle I got 5 eggs one made it to day 5 with normal genetic testing which we are transferring this Friday. Not sure if it did anything for me but I just did it bc I felt I wanted to use all my resources and didn't want to have any regrets. GL

I used HGH for two stim cycles. I was 33 at that time. The first time I got 7 mature, 6 fertilized, 5 made it to freeze. The second time I only got 5 mature, 5 fertilized, and 3 made it to freeze. I've transferred 2 and had my son. I have 6 in the freezer.
I'm not sure how helpful HGH was, but my dr said that she rarely sees the % of fertilized eggs make it to freeze as I had. Overall I'm glad I did the HGH (omnitrope) and I'd do it again.

Thank you ladies! We're really throwing the books at this cycle! It'll be my last attempt before looking at other options. Hoping it makes a difference.

Have you considered a frozen cycle? Maybe your body needs a bit more time between retrieval and transfer?

Yes Maldives! We are definitely doing a frozen transfer. I regretted not doing that the last time.

It was suggested by my last re to use HGH. I didn't. I plan to ask my new dr if I can try it. I'm not sure if I have a quantity issue, but I definitely have a quality issue. First ivf I had 5 eggs, only 1 to transfer. 2nd I had 10 eggs with only one for a FET. And third try I had 12 eggs with only one to transfer. All three failed
