**Sweet Dahlia** (& anyone else interested in my protocol)

I'm technically unexplained IF but my RE thinks I might have an issue with egg maturity since my FSH is borderline low & my LH is borderline high which results in immature eggs and/or empty follies.  For IVF # 1 I was just on Follistim & had tons of empty follicles.  I know these issues are both common in women with PCOS.  I am obese, but have regular cycles (27-28 days), don't have acne, don't have excess hair, etc.  I am borderline IR so I've been on Metformin for 3 years now (since 1st seeing an RE).  Here's the protocol for IVF #2:
