So I am a bit bummed about my sister's results and I feel guilty saying it. We got the results from her day 4 tests back and she only had 6 antral follicles. Gosh, even I had 9 during my cycle monitoring. This seems at bit bleek and I hate for her to go through all of this if the chances are so low it seems so selfish. I was just looking at some data that said that generally when you have an antral follicle count of 6 you end up with around the same number of eggs. It went on to say that your chances of a live birth go down considerably with less than 9 antral follicles. Please someone tell me they had a low antral follicle test and ended up with double digit eggs. Hopefully they won't start her on a super low dose of Gonal F because then I will have a full anxiety attack!
Her other stats are as follows: Estrogen 293
LH is 2.7
FSH is 6.3
i only have one ovary and my high AFC was 9...highest ever. they were usually 6 or 7. i have gotten pregnant twice. first IVF was 5 eggs retrieved and all 5 fert normally but only two turned into babes (3 frozen were crap), and IVF 4 we only got 4 eggs, 3 fert normally and only our 2 made it, and they are now incubating, hopefully happily, for the next 24 weeks.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK whatever you decide.

Hi there, I am 40 - At my first test I had 5 antral follicles - two on one side three on the other.
ReplyDeleteThen I started taking co Q 10, the next month I had a total of 7, then following that 8. Then I noticed I was taking less than the regular dose (because I was just taking the smallest sip out of the bottle - because it's expensive) but then I decided to start taking more like a tea spoon ((still swigging out of the bottle))- The next month I was not tested, but the following month I had 13. I am absolutely convinced it was the co Q 10. I changed nothing else!
wouldn't it be nice of just once things would go the way you want them to? 6 is still a decent number for her age, so keep hope, and i know i hate this saying, but, 'you only need one'... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHer FSH is normal, but her estrogen level is high for Day 4. 6 antral follicles is not bad.. but I would want to know why her estrogen is high because she may not respond well to stim meds.
ReplyDeleteI wish you didn't have to go through so much. I'm cheering for you.
