Sometimes as women get older and they have less response to gonadotropins there becomes less of a difference. In this case it becomes somewhat of a financial decision regarding cost effectiveness of a $3900 attempt vs. the cost of full stim with at most a double the success rate.

We have 2 failed full traditional IVFs and one failed IUI converted to IVF last year. We recently tried the mini IVF using 5 day Femara oral med, about 200 units of Puregon Pen for the first 5 days of stimulation then was added about 150 units of Repronex during the last 5 days of stimulation. End result was 6 out 7 eggs were retrieved, two matured after 24 hours but one died so we were left only with 1 3-cell embryo that matured with 3-cell, grade 1 on day two of ISCI and got a negative. Should we try again and assumed this was a bad cycle or go with the traditional full IVF? Thanks Should a woman 41 years of age try mini IVFs or should she forego the traditional full IVF?
