Slow response to IVF stimulation – what it means & what you can do
If your body isn’t responding as expected to IVF stims, it can feel frustrating and disheartening. And a quick look on Reddit will tell you that this is a shared experience for many.
But let’s be super clear from the get-go — it doesn’t mean that your journey is over.
In this episode, TRB Founder Eloise Edington is joined by Dr. Monica Best, Reproductive Endocrinologist at RBA Georgia, to talk through what a poor or slow response really means, why it happens, and the options you have to move forward with your cycle.
Powered by The Prelude Network, the largest and fastest-growing network of fertility clinics in the US and Canada, this conversation brings expert insight and emotional reassurance in equal measure.
We chat through the specifics, including:
-
What happens during IVF stimulation at the cellular level
-
What a poor or slow response looks like in practice
-
Possible causes, from age to epigenetics and lifestyle
We also discuss protocols and adjustments to improve ovarian response, plus:
-
When to continue, convert, or cancel a cycle
-
The role of IUI or donor eggs for poor responders
-
How to get the emotional support you need
-
Whether pregnancy is still possible with a low response
