Probably an obvious question about duo stims..

[Rosiestraws]

...but does your clinic count it as two cycles?

I'm just wondering if I should suggest trying it to my clinic and if I'm on a 3 cycle package for 3 egg collections etc then I'm guessing as it does include 2 egg collections in one cycle, that would be treated as 2 of my 3 cycles? So maybe not worth it?

TIA

They would consider duostim to be two of the three rounds as the cost of IVF primarily relates to the egg retrieval. You could consider if very time pressed or if your consultant thinks you'd benefit but otherwise it may be better to just have three separate rounds.

Yes it would be 2 cycles.
I have low AMH and best number of follicles growing was when I started mid cycle.

@finiteelement Can I ask which clinic you used?

@GC1928 Instituto Bernabeu in Madrid. They offer duo stim but also
mid cycle stim which I think is a bit newer (but may become normal in future?).
