2nd cycle baseline decline. Is this bad news?

My first cycle went pretty well. I’m 41, AFC was 12, AMH 1.4. 16 retrieved, 13 mature, 10 fertilzed, 4 blasts, 1 euploid.

Just had my baseline for my second cycle (1 month after my first). AFC 8, AMH 1.0 and 1 13mm follicle on day 3. Is this all bad news? Am I destined for a bad cycle? I feel pretty crushed tbh. Financially this is probably our last and I’m just crushed.

2nd cycle baseline seems worse. Is this bad news? Am I being ridiculous?

I’m starting at a new clinic (CNY) and am confused about their suggestions. For reference, I am 41, AMH 1.4, AFC, 12. Last cycle I retrieved 16 eggs, 13 mature —> 4 blasts, 1 euploid.

They want to start priming with estrogen and progesterone and omnitrope on day 4 of my cycle for 2 weeks. Then do stims.

This doesn’t make sense to me because I had a good number of eggs last cycle. It’s the quality that I struggle with. I don’t want to end up one of those people that does worse with priming. I feel like my body already makes eggs and they were pretty in sync. Also, the day 4 start is much different than what I read on here and other sources (luteal start).

As for the omnitrope, that seems great. I’m on CD 25, I wish I started it a few days ago. Seems like I should have done Omni for 2 weeks before stims? Or at least CD 21?

They have also said I can choose whether I prime or not. Seems like CNY has us make a lot of decisions but I don’t know what is best.

Thoughts? Any help would be really appreciated!!
