Started stimulating with Follistim and HCG but was stopped dy doc at day 4. No follicles. Same thing happened the next month except instead of the HCG I was put on Menopur along woth the Follistim. Took July and August off but am on birth control. They are going to have me do a Lupron flare the day before I start my next round of stimulating and increase the dosage of both Follistim and Menopur. It seems I have no eggs. Any reason why I should believe the Lupron flare will work? They tell me if it doesn't there is not much else they can do. I am 35 and already have had one child on my own. 7 years ago. any help would be appreciated.

As you already figured out, this is the last ditch attempt to try to squeeze a follicle out of you ovaries. Give it a shot (no pun intended). The flare protocol is the protocol of last resort for women in your situation. However, to be perfectly honest, I don't hold out much hope. Best of luck.
