[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I'm on 300 menopur ( the first few days at 225) and 150 follistim. Centrotide/Ganirelix starting on day 5. [/quote]

OP, has this been your protocol for all of your retrievals?  If so, I would consider asking to go much lower on the Menopur.  I've heard that higher levels of LH in older women can be detrimental to egg quality, as your receptors become more sensitive to it with age, I think.  When I was suppressed with BCP or estrogen priming my initial baseline LH was decent but then for some reason in a few cycles it increased (not a premature surge, but just a spike over 10) over the next few days of the stim cycle before going down again later.  I'm convinced this played a role in my egg quality.  Does your clinic monitor your LH throughout the cycle?  If you're at Shady Grove, then that answer is no.

What clinic are you at?  Have you been at the same place for all of your cycles?  If the answer is yes and they haven't tweaked your protocol, as another PP mentioned you may consider switching to somewhere that is willing to change things up.[/quote]
