Gecko, yes my AMH is also <1 and my FSH is 13-15 which is on the high side for day 2. I'm going to discuss with the Adelaide consultant via telephone , as well as keep my appiontment with my perth clinic to discuss in September. I've already done growth hormone for two cycles, and for me personally I didn't have any difference in amount of eggs collected (and in one of those cycles, didn't have anything to transfer either). The growth hormone regime for those cycles was injections at day 21, day 2, 4 and 6.
My perth doctor wanted to try me on a new regime for growth hormone, a very low daily dose, in conjuction with DHEA. Not sure which regime was offerered to you but they're worth a shot if you haven't tried it before - doctors are seeing some merit in the treatment even though studies are still ongoing.
I'm not doing growth hormone this time around, mostly because we're now leaning on the side of not going ahead with another cycle.
But if you haven't tried it before, and can afford it ($300 per injection for the 4-injection protocol) , it's definately worth a try. Given your younger age, you would probably have a better chance of success
Jackliky- isn't it frustrating when you first go into IVF you expect the doctors to have all the answers, but so much is still unknown .. but in saying that I guess new treatment methods are being discovered each year... hope you get that sticky BFP soon.
