Hello,

I know I should be listening to my doctors but then....

Pls does an increase in FSH injections makes more eggs by any slightest chances?

In general, more standard cases, yes, more eggs, not necessarily better for quality.

I got more eggs AND of better quality on 150iu daily than I did when I was on 450iu

How you will respond to the medication will depend on what your AFC and AMH levels are. My AFC and AMH were in the low normal range for my age so we knew from the start we would be targeting quality over quantity. We delayed starting by a month so I had three months of supplements (COQ10 etc.) before the cycle.

I was on 112.5iu for the first few days and then 150iu - first two scans only showed 2-3 follicles on track and then 3-5 on track but we actually ended up collecting 7 mature eggs from which we got 5 blastocysts ( 1 transferred and 4 frozen) which completely exceeded all our expectations in terms of quality. We just trusted completely in the clinic as it was our first cycle.

I hope it all goes well for you x

Ohh. Good to hear! The doctor too is asking me to trust her but I just needed to hear from someone with first hand experience. I don’t produce aloe of eggs. She said she will increase fsh. Okay. Tnx. I will survive this!
