Hi everyone. Hope you're doing OK?
I have a question around my next cycle. Long story short, I have high oestrogen and it means getting to transfer is difficult (both fresh and fet). Took us 11 months to do 1 collection and 2 transfers.
I have told my consultant I'd like to avoid this as much as possible and he's said there mightnt be much we can do except lower my stims dose and see if that helps. Last time my stims was lowered from 225 to 150 gonalf and I still couldn't transfer. I'm not sure it will make a difference as my oestrogen was through the roof for my last fet and I'd no stims in my system.
He did say it might impact the number of eggs I can collect (got 10 last time). Has anyone experienced that? I do worry about being left with less eggs and therefore fewer embryos although very aware numbers aren't everything!
I've also read though that a lower stims dose can actually improve quality as the energy is divided amongst fewer eggs. Again anyone else found that to be the case.
We've agreed that we will decide closer to the time but at the moment I'm minded to go for the lower dose as we aren't changing much else in this cycle and I have this build in need to do something different!
Grateful for others experience!
Big hugs
