IVF with very high FSH?

[Tigga]

Hi Ladies,

Thanks again for the support.

I'd like to continue to stay in touch and share treatments and outcomes, so I will pop my head into the other thread and only post major relevant updates here.

Still waiting for AF...again!

I too would still like to post my fsh updates and ivf treatment outcomes and will continue to post in the LTTTC/AC thread. Is this ok?

Just a quick question- just wondering if anybody knows if it is worthwhile stimming for a few extra days say 12 instead of the usual 9 days I have in the past to try and get a few more eggs to maturity. I intend to ask FS at next appt but wondered if anyone here knew? TIA

Hi Dutchie, it depends on the size of the eggs, see my last cycle in the IVF & PGD thread.

Dutchie - I stimmed for 15 days in total on 450 gonal-f (got two follies/one mature egg/1 fert but chem preg). I am going to ask about a lower dose. I've been thinking more and more about that fact that if naturally high FSH levels = poorer egg quality...then wouldn't high doses of injecting FSH further compound the problem down the track?
