Does anyone have experience of a national clinic specialising in mild IVF offering higher dose stimulation if appropriate?

Hi, I'm considering the above (with the clinic beginning with C) but can't get an answer to my question without paying for all the pre tests and consultation. Worried going with a new clinic and all this would set me back time wise too.

Worried that i won't respond so well to lower stimulation and won't get 5 day blasts.

I'm not sure what dose of stimulation they'll go up to and whether they'd vary it/ increase if appropriate? I've being on 450 iu.

Thanks x

the max dose I was on with that clinic was 225ml - they will increase if required but I doubt they’ll go as high as 450….there whole ethos is lower is better and I actually agree with them….I had lots of follicles but awful fertilisation even with ICSI at 225ml….twice. Then swapped to natural modified IVF on 150ml every OTHER day - 100% fertilisation and top quality blastocysts and had twins

I was on 375iu with that clinic and I was told that was the very high end of what they would prescribe. I'm not sure if we had issues with it if they would have increased my dosage
