+1 I'd like to know, too!

Yes. If you’re over suppressed by the BCP, the ovarian stimulation drugs wont be as effective as you’ll get fewer eggs to freese.

To OP -  I did egg banking at Shady Grove.  Big waste of time because they ignored / didn't mention all the adverse things I had going on before trying some cycles.  They put me on BC even though I was DOR.  I (me not the Dr. Levens) canceled two cycles because the BC pills made me have cysts.  I read about the suppression aspect of BC and demanded that they run me with nothing but the fertility meds for cycle 3 and 4.  I canceled three because the eggs were developing at different rates and the retrieval wouldn't get more than 5 out of 15, then the next cycle (demanding no BC again - be a bitch about it. seriously) I got 15 eggs. I was getting better and better results each cycle after dropping birth control pills.  It's only now that I discovered through other providers my results COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH higher if Shady Grove mentioned my out-of-whack TSH and Vitamin D levels, fibroids and endometriosis.  If your TSH and Vitamin D are not optimal you won't make good eggs.  Dr. Levens knew how jacked up I was but SAID NOTHING.  Just took my money and blamed things on *age*.

You got to do your own research and do not put much trust into ANY reproductive endocrinologist.  Make them earn your trust first.

OBTW - Shady Grove botch my all of my embryo transfers. . . .seems pregnancy won't happen if you have multiple fibroids and uterine polyps but hey. . ."let's throw eggs in there anyway, we have a Progesterone in Oil study to do" . ..[/quote]
