Did you do cycles using the same protocol? If so were the # of days you cycled the same? Since my stims started the same exact day, I'm wondering how close to the dates everything happened last time I could expect. I would assume pretty close to the same, just want to hear from you wise women!

My first 3 fresh cycles were pretty much the exact same (my last one included HGH though). I stimmed for 9 days, 11 days, and 10days accordingly. Ironically my 1st and 3rd cycles had the exact same number of eggs retrieved and mature!! Weird!! My 2nd one was a big bust....low e2 levels and less eggs all fragmented which I thought was because I stimmed too long on a slow rising e2...but who knows because...
My last fresh cycle was a COMPLETELY different protocol and I stimmed for 11 days but got an awesome response with frosties. Still BFN but at least we have the option for the FET we're prepping for now
I think they say the average stim time is 8-12 days with 10ish being pretty average...good luck
