542. IVF Strategy for Low Egg Count: Less Can Sometimes Be More

In this episode, Prof Chapman answers a common and important question from patients with low ovarian response: is it worth doing two IVF stimulation cycles close together to improve results? He explains why current evidence doesn’t strongly support repeated or back-to-back stimulation as a way to boost egg numbers, and highlights the role of natural biological variation from cycle to cycle—especially for women in their late 30s and early 40s. Prof Chapman also explores alternative approaches like low-dose stimulation, the limitations of anecdotal success stories, and the practical considerations patients should be aware of when planning treatment. Explore the 'Prof. Michael Chapman - The IVF Journey' Facebook Page, your reliable destination for cutting-edge insights and guidance within the realm of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).Don't miss out on the IVF Journey podcast; stay informed with the latest episode updates.
