Hi! I am 36 yrs old and been married for 3 years, has blocked fallopian tubes and endometriosis. I was suppressed by suprefact at 50 units for 2 weeks and was decrease to 20 units on my third week. Start of my third week suppression, i was given a shot of gonal f for 225 ui for 5 days, after my lab test, estradiol is low and follicles are not present. dosage was increase to 375 ui for 3 days and still, estradiol is low and no follicles seen. doctor advised to cancel the ivf due to abandon cycle and try next cycle again with an increase dosge of 450ui.
Why is it that my body is not responding to gonal f even though the dosage has been increased? Is there a problem? How sure i am that i will respond to next cycle if its already 450 ui? What would be my other options if i am really not responding to that med? are there any alternatives injectables that can help me produce more follicles?
