Normal number of follicles for IVF stim?

OP

Antagonist (cetrotide) slows the grown of follicle, so having daily shot of cetrotide was likely slowing the growth and contributed to lesser number of "workable" eggs, I believe. U can either inject half the dose/day or every 36 hours (full volume) to lessen the impact of antagonist while still controlling the LH level. U can talk to your RE for next cycle about the use or non-use of antagonist?

OP here: the average AMH for 36-40 yrs of age given to me was 1.6, and 41-44 was .5, so I was a little below the average at .8 for age 39. Also, my antral follicle count was 8, so also lower than ideal. But I will ask again during my follow-up appt.

Interesting, I will definitely ask and report back. Thanks.

OP here, also I did not reply earlier, but this cycle started with estrogen priming.
