Prognosis for IVF for poor responder and stage IV endometriosis

Hello guys, I'm new to your community.
My question is 1) any IVF success prognosis on your opinion for poor responder and stage IV Endo
and 2) What should I focuse on with my Doc during the stimulation cycle. By the way no doubt so far in my doctor's knowledges and skills but I appreciate your opinions. 3). Could they call me "Poor responder" after just one IVF stimulation cycle?

I'm 32 almost 33, no pregnancies before, AMH 3.0, FSH do not know...Seems to be with good ovarian reserve. Laparoscopy 03/2015 - no pregnancy on my own, 3 months later endometrioma came back on the same place as it was before lapara, but almost no pain untill now (2 years). Stimulation ovulation (for natural cycle 6 months after laparascopic surgery, even with presence of my endometrioma) - no success. Symptoms are: painful periods, mild pain during the intercourse. Sclerotherapy of my endometrioma with different doctor 08/2016. He doesn't support laparoscopy with Endo patients because of the scar tissue and performs sclerotherapy (liquid suction from endometriomas and patricular saline infusion to treat endometrioma). 09/2016 had to repeat suction after which endometrioma disappeared and we were cleared to start first IVF attempt.

Now on second IVF stimulation cycle. First cycle resulted in only 5 follicles, 3 eggs, 1 frozen (5 days blast). It was fairly aggresive stimulation but I ended up as poor responder, so even my Doc was surprised. Could it be just a bad/wrong cycle that we were "lucky" to get in or could it be incorrect dosage of drugs/combination of drugs?

Good luck to all of us! Fingers crossed :)
