I recently had a cancelled ivf due to poor response and my doctors said that it will be a waste of money if i tried again. one week before starting the ivf medications, i had an excrutiating pain at my left lower abdomen radiating to my lower back. I want to know if i had inflammed overies that had caused my poor response to ivf meds
Hi, How are you doing ? Inflammed ovaries or infection around ovaries will not allow good follicle response. But this just means poor preparation for IVF by your doctor. All you need is a good course of antibiotics & rest for few weeks. Poor follicular response is when - 1. Averaged- usually >37-40 yrs. Just have serum AMH to know how many eggs left in ovaries2. Untreated endometriosis- needs good suppression of periods for few months3. Inadequate down regulation with hormones before the IVF, to be done by doctor. Both Pelvic infection & endometriosis can cause pain in lower abdomen, back & thighs. Both of these can reduce the eggs released. Try to clear this problem. Maybe you can have pregnancy even without IVF. May be taken second opinion from another doctor for evaluation. Hope I have clarified your queries All the best
