    Re: 1 EGG on 450 Gonal?

    I also only produced 1 egg with 450iu. My eggs are poor & reserve is low due to endo & now age, tho I was 38 @ the time. I think it can be a range of factors. They made me go on the pill before down reg on lucrin & I think my body just switched off & no matter what the stim level I wasn't go to grow follicles. I stimmed for 17 days on 450iu to get that one egg. I fared much better on flare cycles previously where I didn't down reg & that was on 350iu stim. If we had tried again I would have insisted on an antagonist cycle with a new FS as mine wouldn't listen to me or test my response earlier than day 10. As it was my sister took over by doing IVF & donating her eggs to us.
    Best of luck & ask questions and look at alterate cycle options if things don't improve.
    There is also a body of thought that too high stim levels can fry the eggs, may be worth considering if egg quality also becomes an issue.
