Long or short protocol (and why?) - Was on birth control to regulate my cycle to the clinics schedule. I down regged with Lupron prior to starting FSH and continued Lupron until egg collection to prevent premature ovulation
FSH Levels - Uh, not sure, but they were normal.
Antral follicle count - Not sure
stim dosage (what type / brand) - Gonal F (225 IU) and Menopur (75 IU), after several days the Gonal F was decreased to 150 IU.
how long stimmed for? (days) - around 10 days I think
were stims highered or lowered at any stage and why - Lowered after a couple of days, part of protocol
do you have any know fertility probs yourself - inconcsistent ovulation since coming off of birth control
cause of fertility probs in general (male, female etc) - male, decreased sperm motility--16%
reason for dosage levels for stims - It was all calculated on FSH levels and age and previous response to FSH during IUI.
how many follicles just before retrival - I think there were around 20
how many eggs resulted, fertilised, frozen - 16 eggs, 11 mature, 8 fertilized, 8 were still going on day 3, by day 5 we were down to 3. 1 was a blast (perfect quality) and the other 2 were mediocre. So, we put back all 3.

Voila! We got twin girls!

WOW congrats and thankss for that, nice to see one with a result too!!! XX
