I don't agree with this. 200 is about the E2 for a mature egg. It can actually be as low as 150-200 if I recall correctly.


This is interesting to me because my last cycle I had an E2 of 1700 and got just 4 mature eggs (from 7 follicles close in size). It’s bothered me ever since and RE had no answers. Anyone ever gotten an answer as to why this happens?



I think the 200 is just an estimate for how many follies there are. I had an E2 of 645 and only got one egg. I also had a previous E2 of 1200 and only got 3. So it's kind of a crapshoot and the 200/250 number is just an estimate. Also depends on your age and healthiness of eggs, etc.

I agree with PP. I'm 40 and I just had a retrieval on Monday My E2 was close to 1000 with 5 mature eggs retrieved.

Same scenario for both retrievals: 2 eggs retrieved, 1 fertilized and made it to blast. 1st round did a day 5 transfer, second a day 3. Both resulted in chemicals. I was 33 at the time, diagnosis also DOR. After the two chemicals, RE figured the high doses of stims probably impacted the egg quality. We were going to try a mini cycle as one last hail Mary, but I actually ended up getting spontaneously pregnant that cycle, go figure.


that's great! congratulations. where did you cycle?

no i didnt. their thought was i didnt perform much better on high stims (300 gonal 150 menopur yielded 3 eggs) so why make me spend more on meds if i'm not a great responder


Have you considered moving on to DE?


yes, but I am 35 so I felt like I still have a year or so to exhaust OE before it becoming unrealistic.
