Can I have more than 1 follicle?

Hi.. I was so excited when my AF finally arrived. I started stim on 21th Nov. This time stim with 450iu Gonal F. Very expensive, but I'm lucky because Re will give me antagonist for free.I just pay for gonal F. I'm going back to clinic on 26th Nov. RE told me he will continue my cycle if I have 1 or 2 big follicle. Anyone using antaagonist protocol and get more follicle? I worry the successful rate will be low. Scare & worry, stress & tension will follow me. Please share some experience.

Hi

Not sure why RE would give you such low numbers, I had Antagonist protocol on my last IVF and got 28 eggs. I don't remember if I got gonal-f but it was pretty successful for me. Even thought I didn't get my BFP I had 5 blast.

Best of luck to you and try not to worry!

I'm not using your protocol, but I only had 1, yes I said ONE, egg fertilize naturally and another was fertilized usting rescue ICSI (24 hours after retrieval) and I am having triplets. One egg split into identical twins.

I believe that you will produce more, but you have to believe that it really only takes one to do the job.

You are so lucky. I know if GOD will only one can make it. But I still worry. You know anyone who start IVF is also start worry & stress. I will try to stay positive. Thanks and congratulation to you for having a happy family.
