I think you cannot compare AFC if they are not in the same cycle. One month I had 6 AFC and next month I had 12 both on day 3. In general, the more follicles the better, so I think it's a good sign for you OP. Good luck!

Yes, experienced it. No, did not bode well for results. I had 25 follies growing, only 12 retreived and only 4 made to day 5. BFN.

This is OP here. I don't think it is different. I am sorry if I confused anyone.

I started this post to understand whether other ladies going through ART experienced an increase in AFC when the mock embryo transfer was done from their day three testing

The nurse said that my AFC should decrease from my day 3 tests, not increase.

Has this happened to anyone else? Did it bode well for your IVF results?

thanks in advance


how is this different from what nurse said?

OP here.

PP, the nurse said your day 3 AFC would be lower or the same as your day 7 AFC

so, if they counted 10 AFs on day 3, they should count 10 (or less) on day 7

this seems consistent with the literature I read?

I have also read that AFC can vary from month to month, which may be what is going on with me.

are you sure you understood the nurse correctly? It's usually lower than on day 3, and can vary on the same day between months.

My AFC on day 3 is always less than later on. I think whoever reads it early on may not take into account all of them and maybe just stop counting after a certain point???
