The question
Hi, can an estrogen priming ( 5 days before my period )or taking hGh 8 weeks prior to stimulation and during stimulation cause slower growth of follicles? My forth stimulation protocol is the same as the previos three ( third one was 3 months ago, the first and second two years), but my follicles are not growing. I'm taking Gonal f and Menopur (from day 4.). They increased the dose of Gonal f, but still going nowhere, it' s day 11 of stimulation. Thank you for your answer. Polona
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
In my opinion, estrogen priming, by suppressing FSH, can suppress antral follicle formation and son delay follicle growth and development.
