Describe the protocols Geraldine Ekpo used in your cycles at Laurel Fertility Care and their degree of success.
Iui was very basic and had a sperm sample 3 times and had 3 separate iui placements. We used letrozole and the trigger shot to help time the iui transfer. IVF was a common stims injection protocol and egg retrieval was as expected. We had leftover day 5 embryos but didn’t succeed with 2 first two. Next protocol will include 2 day 5 embryos transfer.

We were given the option each time 1 vs 2 but they gave us their recommendations off the bat. After failing 2 single transfers, we are planning a double embryo transfer next.
