[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're body supposedly knows to send the best egg forward-the leading follicle.  I've had 2 early miscarriages despite a good reserve so one RE said it could be that my body for whatever reason unfortunately sends forward the wrong eggs.  Who knows?  am doing medicated ivf now with Pgd to try and overcome this-but that is a whole difft philosophy since they bring all the eggs up (suppressing the leading follicle) so they can maximize harvest amount.  In fact my lead egg was likely sacrificed as it got too big too fast and they wanted to let the lagging majority get bigger.  I've read women, esp those who are ama or dor worry about doing this, as they might be sacrificing the quality for quantity. [b]  SG disputes this saying the highest ivf success rates correlate with the highest number of eggs retrieved, [/b]and that's why the success rate for natural ivf is therefore low (see their webpage on  But dor/ama patients have said specialized clinics have recommended lower stims to emphasize quality, so that seems to be closer to the natural ivf strategy.  Not an expert, this is mostly my conjecture.  Hope that helps.  [/quote]

It's not SG, it's the current medical research that says that.  However, it's true that lower dose protocols can be helpful for DOR/AMA, but not becaues they produce fewer and better eggs. I had more eggs on lower dose protocol than on high. The quality was marginally better.[/quote]

I also had more eggs on lower dosages. I went from 8-12 eggs on 225/Menopur and 450/Follistim versus 25 eggs on 75/Menopur and 150/Follistim (plus Clomid).[/quote]
