[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did one round of IVF at 39 and my AFC was 16 total - but bizarrely, I ended up only getting 4 eggs (I think my doc understimmed me). In the end it worked out because one of those became my DC. Yes, an AFC of 8 is not high, but as a PP said, it's pretty normal at 39. Depending on your stim protocol and your body's response, more follicles could pop up during an IVF cycle. Also, what is your AMH? My RE always believed that was more predictive than AFC (I think docs differ on this). [/quote]

When did you do your ultrasound? I read everywhere it should be day 5-7 of the cycle, she did it on day 2.
I have a late ovulation and could it be that my follicles did not show yet?

Also I did not like the tech, she couldn’t get around my fibroid and had to call another tech for help.
Should I call my dr and ask for another ultrasound on Friday?

Also I read that number of follicles very month to month.

This is OP[/quote]

I don't think you are doomed.  The real question is what is the quality of the eggs which without doing IVF is hard to know.

One thing I would ask your RE is whether s/he anticipates that the fibroid could prevent access to the follicles (especially if it's already making ultrasound of ovaries challenging.  I had a fibroid and ultimately it prevented the RE from accessing at least 3 of the follicles during my first round of IVF - and that was on the side where more of the follicles were mature.  I think my fibroid also grew during IVF.  My ob strongly recommended I get it removed before any more rounds of IVF which I did and was able to have more mature eggs retrieved during the second round.   The ultrasound for my second round was done on day 3 (can't recall exactly the first round.  I think day 2 -5 is normal.  I did have a few more follicles than AFC count in each round.
