  • Bigmomma do you have endometriosis? Just asking as my first 'flare' up of it post pill had me experiencing symptoms like yours at a random point in cycle to the extent that i was admitted to hospital with suspected appendicits... I'd personally be off to the doctors if my cycle changed and caused the problems you've had. If it carries on past this cycle or gets worse you should go to your GP just to make sure everything is ok.

    Vseviour wishing you well for today. I'm on day 11 with no follies at all which doesn't seem right to me.

    Just as a note of reassurance smookle. My FS at the Hewitt Centre told me when I asked about my AMH levels that I was one of the last to be tested for it through their clinic as they found that it bore no relation on how many eggs/ quality a woman produced during IVF. They were assuming that low AMH meant that they needed to increase the dosage of drugs- then they realised that they were over stimulating women and running the risk of OHSS. In summation she basically said low AMH in her opinion meant diddly squat when it came to IVF. It doesn't necessarily mean that your eggs are poor quality or that you won't produce enough. Hope that helps a little..

    I echo that. My experience is the reverse - my AMH is fine but my eggs are useless. There's not much correlation IMO.

    No follicles at all? But at least you're down-regging so they can stimulate as long as necessary, have they upped the dosage?

    I only got 7 eggs :cool:, but collection was really easy, just put my legs in the stirrups and I woke up in recovery bay, didn't feel a thing :T Now hoping for fertilization :easter_ba

    Of the 7 eggs, 2 weren't mature enough to use, 5 were injected and all 5 fertilised :-) x
