My folicles have decreased in size desoite my dosage being increased and the clinic do not know why. Three have grown and I have one whopping 29 folie which is likley to be over mature... one 22 and one 19 rest below 10 😪

EC Wednesday - Blood levles at 2480 likley 2 to 3 eggs predicted to be collected.

Any success stories from such a low number collected at Ec. Im 24 and we have male factor infertility and in hind sight should have been on the short protocol not long 😥

Hi, which FSH drug were you on ? I was on Menopur, short protocol & had 1 leading follicle and 1 other measurable they were confident would get 2 so we went ahead. We only actually collected 1 and although it fertilised it was not deemed good enough quality to transfer. Was so disappointing as my previous 2 cycles I had got 5-8 eggs but that was with gonal f. I strongly believe I respond better to gonal f and was at a loss to why they changed. Am about to start over with gonal f.

Sorry I don’t have more positive news all I can say is 2-3 sounds better than 1. In my case I wish we cancelled as it was a very expensive disaster and I had a bad feeling about the drugs from the start. However it sounds like you have slightly better results so it may be worth a shot.

Wishing you all the luck in the world x

Thank you so much for replying im on menopur at first I responded but then slowed down and now deteriorated. Its so awful to get this far after all of this to get to this is difficult. I said about abandoning however they have said due to my age they beleive it is worth going ahead so we will give it a shot and its our first attempt its long protocol so next time I will insist short protocol and discuss change of meds.

Best of luck to you to get your BFP soon xx

Lately I have been hearing of so many women including me having a poor response to Menopur but with a strong response to gonal f. I really do hope this is your time. If you did go again in the future it may be worth insisting on gonal f !?! Good luck x

Oh hun, feel for you. That's a long time on stims. Hope you're not too uncomfortable.

Will be thinking of you Wednesday and keeping everything crossed for some good eggs x x

2 or 3 but they are there and they are amazing💪 It's definitely worth trying, you have come such a long way already. I don't know much about protocols but I have seen few posts recently about protocols, it seems each clinic has a different ideas🤔
