Thanks, SillyGirls. The low antral follicle count is yet ONE more thing to research & become depressed about. I thought my issues were cleared up with surgery last year, but no, here's something new!
I don't know how a short protocol can help in my situation. I'm not sure what this even means. The RE said something about 4 weeks instead of 6, start to finish. But she said she'd mail me all the information once she thought about it some more & made a decision about what would be best for my circumstances.
Another thing I don't know: what does this low count mean in terms of stimming? What is the correlation between baseline counts & stimulated counts? Is it possible to get loads of eggs while stimulated, even though the baseline is low? Or can I only hope for as many eggs as I have follicles (now)?
So confusing. And depressing. I really just want to power through this IVF, get my sad, bad results, and move on with my life, knowing I did all I could to make it happen.
