I’m almost ready to trigger for egg retrieval, but I only have four mature follicles. There are ten follicles total, but they didn’t mature at the same rate and my doctor won’t wait for those to mature because they only do retrievals for a few days each month. I’m 33 and my AMH ranges from 0.6-0.8. I typically have shown 12 follicles combined on ultrasounds prior to starting medications. Should I go through with this retrieval or cancel it and see if another round of injections produces better results? I was told that I could be primed (with estrogen or testosterone) next time, and it should result in a better egg count. Cost is a factor, so that’s why I’m considering not going through with this retrieval.

My regimen this time around was 225 follistem for a few days until it was bumped to 300, and 150 menopur everyday.
