Describe the protocols Susan Lobel used in your cycles at Metropolitan Reproductive Medicine and their degree of success.
Dr. Lobel began with Clomid to stimulate follicle growth. After 3 unsuccessful follicle cycles with Clomid combined with an ovulation trigger injection and natural insemination, we did the same with 3 cycles of Letrozol. After that, we did 3 Letrozol/ IUI cycles. Finally we did an IVF egg retrieval (Gonal-F, Menopure, and Lupron) along with 3 frozen transfers (lupron, progesterone, estrogen). We are currently pregnant after a successful frozen embyo transfer.
