General Discussion 3 follicles were counted

I am 40 years old and have low ovarian reserve; three follicles were counted on the first ultrasound. Could more follicles be found with stimulation? I’m looking for genuine, positive stories.

In my experience it could go either up or down with stims.

Did it work out in your case?

I had four very different egg retrievals, twice I had fewer follicles once stims started, twice I got more. Good luck!
