just wondered what people’s experience are of starting short antagonist protocol from a natural start vs using oestrogen priming?
I’ve always been prescribed provera or norethisterone before to schedule my bleed so have no true experience of a natural start. I’ve also had tostran and DHEA priming previously though obviously they don’t really alter how you start.
I did oestrogen priming last cycle, but as I’ve posted on here recently, this led to my worst cycle yet with no embryos to transfer.
I have low AMH and poor response and do tend to have quite a spread of follicle sizes. Oestrogen priming didn’t seem to make a massive difference in that I still had one lead follicle that sped away, and I did get more eggs (7 vs 1-4) but worse quality.
Nervous about an entirely natural start but wonder if I give it a go?
Any experiences or opinions? Thanks as always xx
