Hi everyone,

After some trial and error I finally managed to get approx the right FSH dose for pill down reg cycles. I changed to a new FS who recommended trying antagonist to try to get a slightly less response but work on quality of embryos. However for my first antagonist cycle my FSH dose was too low and I had limited response.

So my question is for those of you who have done both protocols, did your FSH dose differ between down reg and antagonist, in what way and what was your response.

Mine were:
Down reg:
FSH 225 - cancelled day 9 hyperstimed
FSH 125 - EPU but no ET, hyperstimed, 20 eggs, all crappy
FSH 75 upped to 100 - 14 eggs
FSH 100 - 14 eggs

Antagonist (FS started me on FSH75 assuming that not being down regulated would mean I would respond quicker)
FSH 75 upped to 100 - 3 follies converted to IUI
FS is now recommended FSH 100

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
