Sara, so sorry about the BFN
I did 2 IVF cycles, first was a down reg and the second a flare without the Pill. I got cr@p results for both of them but better results with the flare - 1 vs 3 follies. My clinic prefers to do the flare with the Pill but will do it without if you ask. As Xmas was approaching, I asked to do it without. Could you push your clinic to let you do it without the Pill? My clinic and FS had their protocols that they liked to stick to but generally when I questioned them and asked to do something that I thought suited me better they were happy to accomodate. After all you know your body better than they doBTW, I also had concerns that the long period of time on the Pill suppressed me somewhat too.
All it involved was starting Synarel on day 2 then FSH on day 3 and continuing with both until trigger. For myself I really liked the fact that it was much shorter, I really hated all that marking time on the Pill and when the down reg cycle got cancelled I just felt like the last 2 months were a total waste KWIM?
Good luck with it all.
