    Lonely follicle

    Hi,
    I finally got to start a round of IVF after two failed IUI's but had to stop treatment because only one follicle was measurable. I was on the highest dose of Gonal F so it's all very disappointing. My doctor's advise was to not put me through the gruelling IVF process for the possibility of one egg and to try again, this time may be using growth hormones. Has anyone had those? How did you fare? Also, has anyone experienced the same? Where only one follicle forms but then had success with a second or third cycle with more follicles?
    Many thanks for your response.

    Sorry you have had a rough start. I haven't used growth hormone, but I wanted to give you a big one of these its such a hard road especially when things don't go the way you hope.
