Has anyone tried the estrogen priming protocol??

I’m 41, almost 42 and interested in freezing my eggs. I’ve done one cycle and only got 2 good eggs. My doctor added estrogen to my protocol halfway though my cycle and my body seemed to really kick into gear, making more follies than I had before the estrogen. I want to try another cycle and I’m wondering if I take estrogen my whole cycle, will I make a lot more eggs? I’ve been reading about the estrogen priming protocol which seems to work good for older women with lower egg reserves. Has anyone on here had Success with the estrogen priming protocol? And if so, How did the cycle that you used estrogen compare to other cycles?

Thank you!!

I’ve wondered about this, it is popular in the US and they seem more advanced in the world of IVF. I think I would benefit from this as I have low amh and low estrogen. Will follow this post xx

I havent tried this or heard too much about it although I think its always worth a shot. Have you tried DHEA or did your clinic suggest trying it? The reason I ask is we got much better quality embryos and slightly more eggs after using for around 4 months, still havent had a BFP but might worth asking about too. Best of luck!xx
