Hi Dusty,

I'm currently on my 2nd IVF cycle with Monash Richmond. This 2nd attempt is following the same cycle as the last (which was BFN). My FS does not put me on the pill at all as I have a previous historty of DVT blood clot. My cycle is;

- Day 21 of natural cycle have blood test to determine if I have ovulated
- Start synarel next day for 9 days
- Another bloodtest to determine when to start puregon injections
- Continue synarel and start puregon 3 days after bloodtest (so day 12 of synarel)
- Use synarel and puregon for another 7 days and have bloodtest & ultrasound
- If all goes well with follicle size EPU is 3 days later.

Not sure if this is similar to what you will be going through, but it's all I've ever experienced so don't know any different. On my last cycle I had 15 eggs collected but only 3 fertilised with ICSI (we have male factor infertility) and only 1 made it to day 3 transfer (no frosties).

Hope everything goes well for you with this cycle, maybe the different cycle is going to make all the difference. Good luck
