  I totally know how you are feeling. I remember my AFC was 28 at the ODWU and then 17 at baseline. I was so upset at first, but I knew it was out of my hands and anything in the teens is still good. I had to remind myself that people would be thrilled to have this many follies. It is strange that the AFC can change so much each month. I must have had a few tiny follicles hiding or too small to count, because I started with 17 resting and had 21 eggs. I remember being worried throughout the cycle, b/c my AFC for my previous cycles was always in the high teens-low 20's, and I usually had half the amount of eggs retrieved as follicles (9, 10 & 11 eggs), so I was expecting the same results. Somehow the 21 is the miraculous mystery that will never be solved. Try not to get too discouraged. They will most likely push you to the limits to get every mature egg possible, especially since it will be a freeze all anyway. It is all so scary. I know it's impossible not to panic. I freaked out so badly that we scheduled 2 meeting with our doc when we were out there and was ready to cancel my cycle. This process is just too much to handle!! Hang in there and know they are the best in the business!!

  Thank you so much for that! I usually have gotten 1/3 to 1/2 retrieved from my afc, if my history repeats, I'd only get like 3 or 4 so I'm a little discouraged. Last ivf in April I had 24 afc with 12 retrieved so starting with 14 freaks me out! Your response helps my mindset greatly. thank you.
