Dear Dr. Sher,
with great interest have I read your articles on the “empty” follicle syndrome: I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency incl. elevated LH levels. In my two egg retrieval attempts only 1 egg could be retrieved out of a total of 4 follicles, using a 250 mcg hCG Ovidrel trigger. According to your article this dose is too little for my situation. However, I failed to convince my doctors to change anything about the trigger protocol with them insisting that the standard 250 mcg dose is already high and that empty follicles are just expectable in my situation and have to be accepted.
Could you recommend any data from larger studies or peer-reviewed articles regarding this topic that I could bring to them to possibly convince them?
Thank your for your help!
