Hello,
what would be a goal for a good number of eggs to retrieve during stimulation? I have talked to several people who produced around 15 eggs, and I am in the early part of stimulation and have about half that number. Is that a concern? Would increasing the dose of Follistim help produce more or at this point would you just have to go with what you've got?
Number of eggs
Re: Number of eggs
Hi:
Keep in mind this is all about quality; not quantity. Many factors govern the number of eggs one can develop with stimulation and there is great individual variation. What you want to hear is that you have enough for a decent cycle and that they are synchronized and then when they are retrieved that they are good quality.
Good luck.
