I'm 42 and doing my second IVF cycle. The first one retrieved 7 eggs, four fertilized, all aneuploid. This second round i only had 4 solid looking follicles after 6 days of stimming (I started on day 3 of my period). The doctor advised I take a dose of cetrotide on day 7 and would likely do the retrieval on day 11. I went in the morning after my first cetrotide dose I and three follicles were still growing and looking good, one had not grown. Doctor canceled the cycle because my estrogen dropped from 341 two days before to 145 and he said he wouldn't go forward if I was only likely to get one egg. I'm wondering if that could have been from cetrotide? Did i misdose somehow?
He advised me to have sex the next two days because I could still have one or two good eggs, so I did as directed but then my partner had to go away on a business trip. I know the odds are really low of conceiving naturally at my age, but I'm worried the timing is all messed up. I started having ovarian pain intermittently for the three days following the last time we had sex, and am worried the doctor was wrong about the timing and I've missed my last chance.
