Hi there, yes it is another word for short protocol. I had it on my previous 2 cycles. It's quite common for those with high amh to have short protocol instead of long to reduce the risk of ohss. Best of luck xx

It's so difficult to say as each protocol affects everyone differently. But perhaps if you were on a different one before they want to try it this way to try and help quality xx
