How many follies is too many?

I'm in my first cycle with inectables and go in tomorrow for my first u/s and b/w. just wondering...how many is too many? at what point do they consider you overstimulated? i produce 2 naturally on my own, and have made 2-4 with clomid, so i'm wondering what the outcome will be with injections. praying for all to be good!

I think it really depends on the individual and also the quality of eggs. Good luck tomorrow!

thanks! i feel dumb asking, especially as long as i've been at this, but how do you know what the quality is?

It depends on your DX and age.  Usually they consider three mature follies to be the limit but, if you're over 35 and have male factor IF then, many times they will go as many as four.  

ETA-quality of your eggs is how ready they are to fertilize and become embryos.

For ME 4+ is too many and I wouldn't go forward with 3 again either. Good luck!
