Thanks for your patience, this has been a nutty week for me.
The first thing I will ask is if the docs had any insight into why your AMH is so low? Did they hold out any hope for a different protocol?
And how low IS low?? Sometimes people are told they have "low AMH" when really it's only slightly low and is overcome-able. Medications like metformin may help improve your egg quality as well.
I would suggest that in the meantime, you follow the type of diet that is for people who may sway or may go high tech in this thread:
https://genderdreaming.com/forum/gen...rt-3-pcos.html That way you're getting benefits straight away for future sway but you're also helping your IVF chances.
What is your age and BMI? Does your husband have any health issues that affect his sperm negatively?
Your other message says you're an RN, so are you on your feet all day?? We have special exercise rules for nurses, teachers, etc who are on their feet all day because that's already a very taxing job.
Would you be willing to use donor eggs?? If your AMH is low that might be your best chance.
Natural IVF will not be an option for you, most likely. PGD is a numbers game, and the reason they use the medications to start with is to help you get more eggs to get to the lab and be checked for gender. I don't generally recommend natural IVF for PGD rounds (tho it can be a fine way to go for transfers, once several eggs are retrieved and fertilized) because for success with PGD you simply have to get as many eggs as you possibly can, and natural IVF just doesn't make that happen. I know as you sit there you probably think "but I only got 2 eggs even with the meds" but the docs do have the ability to tweak protocols and can sometimes get better results than they did the first time. In fact, even without using a different protocol, some months are just better than others, so another round may yield better success rates.
Are you or were you taking any supplements?? Supplements are not always safe, and have many risks/side effects that are not commonly known (including possibly interfering with implantation - even things that supposedly help). This is especially true if you're combining a lot of supplements or dropping them suddenly at ovulation. If you give me a list of everything you're taking I can help you winnow out things that may cause more harm than good, and we can give you a better chance of another transfer sticking if we can get rid of the harmful ones.
