stimulation and follicles advice

I have had less and less follicles over a period of embryo batching ( 3 cycles) this cycle I have only 2/3 follicles. Can this increase if I cycled again? I’m on the same protocol for each of those cycles. But previously got 5/7 and 9 eggs .

I’ve had 3 since. One where the follicles ruptured. And then this current one on the brink of possibly being cancelled or 1/2 eggs if I’m lucky.

Any advice please?

I really never understood why some doctors are pushing to have the same protocol over and over again. We should learn from each cycle how our bodies are reacting to medications and from there to have proper advises on what is the best for us. After each failed cycle first question from me was "what are we changing on next cycle?". I definitely consider that using the right protocol can increase your chances for a better outcome. Xx

Ask your clinic about them maybe making changes to your treatment regime as mentioned in previous post
