    Any1 had ivf with estrogen?

    Hi just wondering if any one has had that newish (they said it has been used for about 12 months) cycle where they use estrogen and give larger FSH doses at the start then reduce it instead of the other way round. Anyone had success? or comments on this? Or been thru it as they said it is quite full on?
    I am starting this round soon and in my normal IVF cycles the main problem was immature eggs.
    TIA

    Is that the Estrogen Priming protocol? I've got a friend in the US doing that but I don't know a lot about it. She did manage to do a complete cycle with it after being cancelled twice with the normal down reg protocol, so that was viewed as a success (although BFN).
