I am sorry to hear this. I don’t think the dose specifically is a problem. They use the dose based on your AMH to try and get good response from the ovaries. The number of follicles that respond will produce oestrogen and this is what will usually have the potential to flare the endometriosis. I did find by middle to end of stims my endo was exacerbated. And the more IVF cycles I’ve done the worse it got because of repeated stims. I hope you get your BFP and baby soon and respond quickly. Best of luck.
Hi I have stage 4 and just about to turn 37! AMH 6.6. been trying to conceive for 7 years. I have done 1 cycle. I was on a high dose for stimulation. I didn't flare. But I was also on an anti-inflammatory diet. I was slow to respond and needed a few more days of the drugs to get my follicles to respond. Unfortunately I only got 2 eggs becuase they couldn't access both ovaries because of the endo. Both eggs were poor quality. They didn't last 24 hours. I have a lot of endo round my ovaries (kissing ovaries and 2 cysts), never had any ablated or excised. Going for excision surgery next week. Like you my tubes are not great, one is also getting removed. Endo is such an awful disease! Wishing you luck!
