Dr Jasdev Singh
Previous Poor IVF Response
If an earlier cycle produced few eggs, changes to the medicine, dose or approach may help. A careful review shows which adjustments make sense for you.
Complex & Advanced Fertility Care
Adjusting your treatment after a low egg yield
A poor response means the ovaries produced fewer eggs than expected during IVF stimulation, often three or fewer. It is usually linked to low egg reserve or age, but sometimes the protocol or dose simply did not suit you.
A disappointing cycle can shake your confidence. Understanding why it happened makes the next decision easier.
Dr Jasdev studies your previous cycle closely and explains what can realistically be changed.
A plan that starts with your results
Your age, history, test results and goals are reviewed before any treatment is suggested.
Clear reasons for each step
You will know why a test or medicine is recommended, what it can do and where its limits are.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around how you respond, your cycle timing and your next decision.
What a careful review gives you
- An understanding of why your response was low
- A revised protocol designed around your ovaries
- Honest guidance on your chances and alternatives
How your care is planned
Every stage answers three questions: what is happening, why it matters, and what comes next. The plan is reviewed at each stage and adjusted when needed.
Review your egg reserve and previous stimulation records
Choose a different medicine, dose or protocol
Monitor closely and decide on collection timing
How treatment can be adjusted
Options include changing the type or dose of hormone, using a different protocol, or trying a milder approach. Some couples collect eggs over more than one cycle and freeze the embryos. Supplements and extra treatments are discussed with an honest view of the evidence.
Who may benefit
Women who produced few eggs in a previous IVF cycle, or whose cycle was cancelled because of a low response. It also applies to women with low AMH who are starting IVF for the first time.
What to expect
Your first visit is a detailed review of your past cycle and current tests. You will receive a new plan with a written medicine calendar. During the cycle, scans track your response closely so changes can be made in time.
How Dr Jasdev works with you
He brings together experience in fertility and gynaecology, and he explains things in plain language. Advice is based on current evidence and on what matters to you. You will always know what the next step is and why it has been suggested. He sees couples from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, as well as some who travel from neighbouring countries.
What to bring to your appointment
Your records help Dr Jasdev understand your history quickly, so more of the visit can go to your questions. If you cannot find everything, bring what you have.
- Full records from previous stimulation cycles
- Current AMH and follicle count results
- Embryology reports, if eggs were collected
What women often ask after a poor response
Most couples arrive with several questions. These common ones can help you plan what to ask.
Will a higher dose give more eggs next time?
Should we freeze embryos over several cycles?
Do supplements help?
When is it time to consider other options?
Your questions about poor response to IVF
What is a poor response to IVF?
It means the ovaries produced fewer eggs than expected during stimulation. It is common with low egg reserve and older age.
Who should seek a review?
Women whose earlier cycle produced few eggs or was cancelled, and those with low AMH who are about to start IVF.
What tests are needed?
An updated AMH and follicle count, and a review of past records. Your partner’s semen analysis should also be recent.
Is treatment painful or risky?
Treatment is similar to standard IVF. Higher doses do not always give more eggs and can add side effects. The risk of overstimulation is usually low.
Why see Dr Jasdev after a poor response?
He reviews your previous cycle in detail and adjusts the plan to your ovaries, with realistic advice throughout.
