Follistim vs. Bravelle

Any have any experience with either of these? I have been using Follistim and have been consistently producing two mature follicles, however this cycle I have used Bravelle (which I was told was essentially the same as Follistim) and I only have one mature follicle...and that's after two extra days of shots - we really had to push it to get the one! I'm wondering if it's just coincidence or has something to do with the switching of the medications? Any information is greatly appreciated! THANKS LADIES!

    I've only used Follistim and produced anywhere from 2-9 mature eggs. I used it for 6 IUI cycles getting from 2-4 eggs on a really low dose and then got 9 for my IVF cycle at a higher dose. I think our bodies just change sometimes. But you should definitely talk to your doctor. Why did you switch if you were producing?
