PP i would assume that it would be used prior to EPU as this is when the eggs are maturing - it may add to the maturation process of eggs for additional success. as your embies are already on ice, i'd guess it wouldn't change anything as the embies are there, and the HGH isn't going to aid in implantation


decided to google before i posted, so as to not make a fool of myself if my assumptions were wrong...


Some evidence that growth hormone before IVF may improve pregnancy rates for women who have had unsuccessful IVF attempts in the past
Before starting an vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, some women need help to ovulate. Growth hormone (GH) therapy is sometimes used in women who do not produce enough follicles in their ovaries. This aims to reduce the use of gonadotropin therapy to stimulate ovulation, a hormone that can cause multiple pregnancy. The review of trials found no evidence that growth hormone helps improve birth rates in women who are undergoing ovulation induction prior to IVF. However there is some evidence of increased pregnancy and birth rates in women who have a history of poor response to IVF. More research is needed.
i guess the bolded bit would be what they're looking at in cases like Chez's - low egg/embie count - but the embies are stronger...
