Hi Dr. Sher,
I am 33 and have diagnosed DOR with an AMH of .098 and FSH of 23. I did one cycle to try and freeze my eggs in March 2017, which did not result in a retrieval due to having a very long cycle and only developing 3 eggs that were not mature. My partner and I then began trying naturally. We had a chemical pregnancy the first month, tried for 3 additional months without success and then had 3 failed IUIs. We decided to move to IVF this month. The goal was to do a mini-stim since my body seemed to reject the high doses of medication when trying to freeze my eggs. This time around I took 5mg of letrozole, 75 iu of Gonal and cetratide. We are aiming for 1-2 eggs a cycle and were hoping to batch until we got 3 5-day embryos, at which point we’d continue trying naturally and could then use the frozen embryos for a second kid and/or do a FET if trying naturally still did not result in a positive. I went in for my 7 day ultrasound and had 3 follicles, 1 on my right and 2 on my left. When I went in 3 days later, the one on my right was gone but the two on my left were still there and were measuring at a good size. They were worried that I might have ovulated on my own since the right follicle disappeared, but my progesterone came back at .24. They had me come back the next day, today, and they could not find either of my left follicles so I was now down to zero. They did another progesterone and estradiol test, concerned that I may have ovulated. The progesterone came back at .1 and estradiol came back around 93. My question is this: how could my follicles have essentially disappeared before I ovulated? Despite my DOR, I’m still ovulating fairly regularly and have had at least one dominant follicle all the way through each cycle. Where did the follicles go? What would you recommend trying for the next cycle?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
I concur with your decision to bank embryos. However, it seems that because of your DOR, you could be experiencing premature luteinization (see below). In my opinion, the protocol used for ovarian stimulation needs to be reviewed carefully and revised. If in spite of best and intensive strategic modification this too fails, you will need to consider IVF with egg donation.
In my opinion, the protocol used for ovarian stimulation, against the backdrop of age, and ovarian reserve are the drivers of egg quality and egg quality is the most important factor affecting embryo “competency”.
Women who (regardless of age) have DOR have a reduced potential for IVF success. Much of this is due to the fact that such women tend to have increased production of LH biological activity which can result in excessive LH-induced ovarian male hormone (predominantly testosterone) production which in turn can have a deleterious effect on egg/embryo “competency”.
While it is presently not possible by any means, to reverse the effect of DOR, certain ovarian stimulation regimes, by promoting excessive LH production (e.g. short agonist/Lupron- “flare” protocols, clomiphene and Letrozole), can in my opinion, make matters worse. Similarly, the amount/dosage of certain fertility drugs that contain LH/hCG (e.g. Menopur) can have a negative effect on the development of the eggs of older women and those who have DOR and should be limited.I try to avoid using such protocols/regimes (especially) in women with DOR, favoring instead the use of the agonist/antagonist conversion protocol (A/ACP), a modified, long pituitary down-regulation regime, augmented by adding supplementary human growth hormone (HGH). I further recommend that such women be offered access to embryo banking of PGS (next generation gene sequencing/NGS)-selected normal blastocysts, the subsequent selective transfer of which by allowing them to capitalize on whatever residual ovarian reserve and egg quality might still exist and thereby “make hay while the sun still shines” could significantly enhance the opportunity to achieve a viable pregnancy

Hi Dr Sher, would you be so kind to make your testosterone study (the one you prepared and submitted but wasn’t published) into an article on your page? I was very keen to read it when you mentioned it last year on your website and was disappointed you went to all the effort but they didn’t publish it. No one has done this study and it would help so many older women with so many failed cycles!
At this time, I am not sure I am willing to post an article that was not peer reviewed here!.
Sorry!
Geoff Sher
Please forgive me if this is a double post. I posted the question on your old website so I thought I should re-submit it.
Dear Dr. Sher, I a 42 year old, single woman hoping to get pregnant with sperm donor. My AMH is 0.4480 ng/ml or 3.2 pmol/l, my day 3 FSH is 8 IU/L and my estradiol levels are normal. I have begun a long protocol IVF treatment. 7 days ago I started stimulation with 300 IU Menopur (at the start of stimulation scans showed I had 7 follicles – 3 left, 4 right). Today I had my day 7 scan and although I’m responding to the drugs I only have 2 leading follicles growing (one on each ovary). Is there anything I can do to help increase the number of follicles or do I just have to leave it to the meds? There is so much advice online i.e. walking, electro-acupuncture, drinking whole milk and eating protein, using a moderately warm heating pad on the lower abdomen etc (would a heating pad on the abdomen damage egg quality and hinder follicle growth? I don’t want to do more harm than good).
Thank you very much for your time.
Hi Dib,
You definitely have DOR but alas, at this stage of your stimulation , there is not anything you can do to alter the situation.
The older a woman becomes, the more likely it is that her eggs will be chromosomally/genetically “incompetent” (not have the potential upon being fertilized and transferred, to result in a viable pregnancy). That is why, the likelihood of failure to conceive, miscarrying and of giving birth to a chromosomally defective child (e.g. with Down Syndrome) increases with the woman’s advancing age. In addition, as women age beyond 35Y there is commonly a progressive diminution in the number of eggs left in the ovaries, i.e. diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). So it is that older women as well as those who (regardless of age) have DOR have a reduced potential for IVF success. Much of this is due to the fact that such women tend to have increased production of LH biological activity which can result in excessive LH-induced ovarian male hormone (predominantly testosterone) production which in turn can have a deleterious effect on egg/embryo “competency”.
While it is presently not possible by any means, to reverse the age-related effect on the woman’s “biological clock, certain ovarian stimulation regimes, by promoting excessive LH production (e.g. short agonist/Lupron- “flare” protocols, clomiphene and Letrozole), can make matters worse. Similarly, the amount/dosage of certain fertility drugs that contain LH/hCG (e.g. Menopur) can have a negative effect on the development of the eggs of older women and those who have DOR and should be limited.
I try to avoid using such protocols/regimes (especially) in older women and those with DOR, favoring instead the use of the agonist/antagonist conversion protocol (A/ACP), a modified, long pituitary down-regulation regime, augmented by adding supplementary human growth hormone (HGH). I further recommend that such women be offered access to embryo banking of PGS (next generation gene sequencing/NGS)-selected normal blastocysts, the subsequent selective transfer of which by allowing them to to capitalize on whatever residual ovarian reserve and egg quality might still exist and thereby “make hay while the sun still shines” could significantly enhance the opportunity to achieve a viable pregnancy

I’m in the process of scheduling a consult with you. I’ve been to two clinics here in Las Vegas and IUI and IVF were recommended as my best options to conceive. I have PCOS and anti-thyroid antibodies(likely hashimotos) I do not ovulate on my own. I recently started Clomid through my OB and my progesterone levels came back at 10, I’m assuming this isn’t high enough to be “good” ovulation for a medicated cycle. My husbands SA was fine so I’m trying to figure out our best option. I don’t feel that an IUI would really benefit us enough considering the cost and low chance of success. Would you suggest someone going from medicated cycles with timed intercourse straight to IVF at 25? Also, how does a round of Mini IVF compare in price to a traditional round and who do you consider a candidate for mini IVF?
I look forward to talking to you. Please see below:
“Between 2% and 5% of women of the childbearing age have reduced thyroid hormone activity (hypothyroidism). Women with hypothyroidism often manifest with reproductive failure i.e. infertility, unexplained (often repeated) IVF failure, or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The condition is 5-10 times more common in women than in men. In most cases hypothyroidism is caused by damage to the thyroid gland resulting from of thyroid autoimmunity (Hashimoto’s disease) caused by damage done to the thyroid gland by antithyroglobulin and antimicrosomal auto-antibodies.
The increased prevalence of hypothyroidism and thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) in women is likely the result of a combination of genetic factors, estrogen-related effects and chromosome X abnormalities. This having been said, there is significantly increased incidence of thyroid antibodies in non-pregnant women with a history of infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss and thyroid antibodies can be present asymptomatically in women without them manifesting with overt clinical or endocrinologic evidence of thyroid disease. In addition, these antibodies may persist in women who have suffered from hyper- or hypothyroidism even after normalization of their thyroid function by appropriate pharmacological treatment. The manifestations of reproductive dysfunction thus seem to be linked more to the presence of thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) than to clinical existence of hypothyroidism and treatment of the latter does not routinely result in a subsequent improvement in reproductive performance.
It follows, that if antithyroid autoantibodies are associated with reproductive dysfunction they may serve as useful markers for predicting poor outcome in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies.
Some years back, I reported on the fact that 47% of women who harbor thyroid autoantibodies, regardless of the absence or presence of clinical hypothyroidism, have activated uterine natural killer cells (NKa) cells and cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL) and that such women often present with reproductive dysfunction. We demonstrated that appropriate immunotherapy with IVIG or intralipid (IL) and steroids, subsequently often results in a significant improvement in reproductive performance in such cases.
The fact that almost 50% of women who harbor antithyroid antibodies do not have activated CTL/NK cells suggests that it is NOT the antithyroid antibodies themselves that cause reproductive dysfunction. The activation of CTL and NK cells that occurs in half of the cases with TAI is probably an epiphenomenon with the associated reproductive dysfunction being due to CTL/NK cell activation that damages the early “root system” (trophoblast) of the implanting embryo. We have shown that treatment of those women who have thyroid antibodies + NKa/CTL using IL/steroids, improves subsequent reproductive performance while women with thyroid antibodies who do not harbor NKa/CTL do not require or benefit from such treatment”.

Hi Dr Sher, I gave my RE your article on A/ACP and he begrudgingly agreed to cycle me on it while repeatedly telling me that a good egg will survive any protocol. I started on 10u lupron for 5 days on CD21 and dropped to 5iu for four days and on day of period switched to 125 cetrotide (1/2 dose). I was very excited when there were 14 antral follicles on day 2 of period. Then 3 days later I started 450 Gonal f for two days then dropped down to 300 and added 75iu luveris.
We had 5 follicles with 3 at 12mm 7 days after stimulation and after 9 days of stimulation I only have 5 follicles of which only 2 are 16mm.
1. My question is, can I assume all the incompetent eggs have disappeared and im now left with just the good ones?
My AMH is 1.01 and FSH is 8. I don’t understand why this protocol started off well but now doesn’t seem to be going well.
You have diminished ovarian reserve . In my opinion the dosage of your protocol could have started higher. And no…you cannot makde the assumption that all the surviving follicles will harbor competent eggs.
In my opinion, the protocol used for ovarian stimulation, against the backdrop of age, and ovarian reserve are the drivers of egg quality and egg quality is the most important factor affecting embryo “competency”.
Women who (regardless of age) have DOR have a reduced potential for IVF success. Much of this is due to the fact that such women tend to have increased production of LH biological activity which can result in excessive LH-induced ovarian male hormone (predominantly testosterone) production which in turn can have a deleterious effect on egg/embryo “competency”.

I further recommend that such women be offered access to embryo banking of PGS (next generation gene sequencing/NGS)-selected normal blastocysts, the subsequent selective transfer of which by allowing them to capitalize on whatever residual ovarian reserve and egg quality might still exist and thereby “make hay while the sun still shines” could significantly enhance the opportunity to achieve a viable pregnancy
