Not resopnding to IVF Medications?

by DreamGirl0524, Sep 09, 2009 03:14PM
My husband and I had 2 failed IUI's and a failed IVF w/ ICSI.  We had 8 eggs and 7 fertilized and we implanted a grade C and D egg which our clinic said was normal and good.

We started another IVF cycle in August (called a Flare) and my body did not respond to the medicine apparently because I only produced 3 eggs in my right ovary.  I took a ton of Lupron, Gonal F and Repronex.  We converted the cycle to another IUI and it also failed.  

I am completely losing hope and am just at a loss.  My doctor suggested egg donation, even though we were originally seeking treatment for my husband's poor morphology.  He said because my body only produced 3 eggs on the second cycle that it could be a sign of an egg problem.  Is this true?  Should we try again with my own eggs or do I need to consider egg donation?  How could he know the eggs are bad without genetically testing them?

Just confused and seeking any advice I can get.
