Hi, so a few weeks ago my clinic switched my protocol from long to short and decided I should start immediately (instead of the long break they initially said I needed after early MC).
I went for a 7 day stims scan today and I have 35 egg follicles growing!! I’m shocked...the point of the short protocol switch was to stop immediately overstimulating like last time so I was expecting less.
I’ve previously only done frozen cycles and was desperate for a fresh transfer but I’ve been told that’s unlikely now as they freeze all on anything over 20 eggs. Obviously I’m not complaining about a good response and number, but a bit anxious it might be too much? Anyone had follicle numbers like this and it gone smoothly? I’m worried about feeling ill after and not enough mature eggs.

Hi Mary I feel my experience may be quite similar to you, I’m on short protocol and on day 7 of injections. My scan beforehand showed I had 29 follicles so they said I am high risk of overhyper stimulation. I have a scan tomorrow so il let you know how I get on. I’m feeling anxious about this too. Sorry Iv not got much advice 🙈 just thought our situation could be quite similar. Hope everything goes well for you xxxx
Hi Mary, just wondered how you were getting on? I ended up with 14 eggs collected and 8 have fertilised, implantation on Friday if all goes well 🤞🤞 hope everything’s good for you xxxx
Hi liv! Glad everything went well for you and good luck for Friday 😀. I got 16 eggs and 13 fertilised so I was very happy with that. Unfortunately it’s a freeze all for me, they said they were concerned about my follicle numbers so didn’t want to transfer just yet. It’s a shame though as I feel fine. Two days later I wouldn’t even know if just had a collection xx
