Any success stories for slow responders? I’m on day 9 of stims and things are moving slowly. 8 follicles, with the lead at 16 and the smallest at 6. I’m on an aggressive protocol (CCRM protocol 5).

I was kinda slow and they had to up my dose of stims. Things really picked up later but I think most do stims 10-12 days but I was on them for 16. Had 12 eggs retrieved with 7 pga tested healthy embryos. Think you doc can decide if it’s worth cancelling or upping the docs etc.

HCG vs. Lupron trigger - based on your experience, have you found a difference in egg quality? I did a cycle with dual and one with just Lupron.

I have been on the antagonist protocol. Wondering if we should try a different protocol vs. switching the trigger. Thoughts?
