I always had less if you measure by mature eggs.
14 were growing. And I ended up with 8 or 9 mature. Baseline AFC= 14 to 20.

But everyone is different.

Yep, the tech counted, and then measured nearly all of them. This was the morning before my trigger. Slow morning at that particular office, I guess!
We were concerned about OHSS and carefully monitoring my E2. Don't know if that's why she paid close attention to follicle count/size or not.

Yeah i had a lot and it turned out they were missing them in the count. I think they never counted more than 25 (and maybe 15-20 looked big enough) but then they retrieved 34 and 31 were mature.

I had 12 on ultrasound. Got 15 but only 10 were mature.

I had 26 on ultrasound and got 22. 16 were mature.

I had 12 on u/s. Got 17, but only 12 were mature.

I've done 3 egg retrievals. For one I had the exact number, another one I had 1 more. The other one I had less--far less--but I believe the dr. doing the retrieval lacked the skill to access my hard-to-get-to ovary.

That does sound unusual. I had several rounds of IVF and each time got the same number of eggs or less than the number of follicles .... But I'm a sample size of one ...

My friend had 4 follicles both fresh IVF and got 10 eggs 7 mature one cycle and 10 eggs 10 mature second cycle. Is that typical to get more than the follicles you're seeing?
