Default antagonist or micro flare protocol ivf#2

Hi, I just completed my first ivf and it ended in a positive pregnancy result. However, at 7 weeks the dr. said it there was no fetal pole or heart beat. I had a d&c in March and am still heeling. Leftover conception 2 weeks after and I had to use cytotec to hopefully remove the rest of the tissue(I am still waiting for numbers to drop to zero). I wanted to know if you would recommend switching from the antagonist protocol to the microflare for someone who has L.O.R. and no fallopian tubes (removed NOT due to endo). I only made 7 eggs on the antagonist protocol. 5 fertilized and we put two 6 cell/ 8cell / no fragmentation in at transfer. The other eggs did not make it and I have none left to freeze. In your opinion does the micro flare make more eggs? Will they be the same quality or less?
On another note, can I email the doctor I have an appointment with soon so I can brief her on my history?
thanks:)

Default antagonist or micro flare protocol

There remains a controversy regarding the optimum stimulation for the poor responder or woman of diminishing ovarian reserve. There are argument for and against these two most popular protocols for this population. Regardless of which protocol I try first, if I encounter failure with one I try the alternative as it is impossible to reliably predict which is best for any individual. Some will do better with one than the other and the next identical patient will show the reverse response

I would prefer since you tried the microflare that you do a day 1 stimulation start with estrogen stimulation that can start even 1 week prior followed by an aggressive stimulation and late antagonist suppression of the LH.

Thanks for the advice. I think you misunderstood. I did not try the microflare yet. I tried the antagonist.
