Has anyone had less follicles after increased bemfola?

Hi everybody,

I just wondered if anyone else has had this experience as I'm starting to feel broken! I'm on my 2nd cycle of IVF with MACS ICSI, I'm 29 and my AMH is 8.08 so they never expected to get loads of eggs, but first time round on scans they only saw 5 follicles developing, but managed to collect 8 eggs, I was on 225iu bemfola, so this time they upped my bemfola to 300iu and added in 150 luveris. This made me more hopeful of getting more eggs.

I've been in for my third scan today on day 10 of stims and there's only 4 follicles growing this time round. The nurse said that there's still time for the few other tiny ones in there to grow over the weekend but it seems even less hopeful this Time than when I was on a lower dose. Has anyone else had this experience?
