Hi Dr Jacobs, I understand that you recommend splitting stim doses into am and pm doses. Would you explain why this is beneficial?

Thank you
Sharon

When you give yourself an injection of FSH, you get an immediate high level of the hormone, which drops over the next several hours.  By dividing the dose, we maintain a higher "trough", or low level, without giving an excess amount in a single injection.
Good luck.
