Went in for my baseline u/s and b/w to (hopefully) finally begin stims for our first ER. The tech said she didn't see any cysts (yay!) and she counted nine follicles in my single ovary. I realize there's not an egg (or a mature egg) in each follicle, but I was very happy to hear the number nine!
So my question - if you've done ivf or a retrieval...what was your follicle count vs the number of eggs retrieved? Obviously all retrieved may not fertilize or 'make it' but I'm interested to hear your numbers.
TIA and PPV that I'm able to finally cycle this month!!
Re: Baseline AFC vs. ER
I had over 20 at afc, then 11 at ER.
My new RE thinks this should have been higher, and switched my protocol.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
11?9 retrieved
no AFC?10 retrieved
11?13 retrieved
3 at baseline, 5 follies, 4 eggs. cd 3 fsh that cycle was 5.
I hope you get more response to this. Very interested in what what others have to say. My most recent cd3 AFC was 7, but my fsh went through the roof. Really wondering what this mean for my upcoming IVF.

Trippbleb what was your fsh? Mine was at 12.7 this am (cd3) and I thought that was high...but the nurse said all of my b/w was within normal range.
