FET cycle?

[farmgirl77]

Hi Lisa,
From my understanding, an FET will always be the lenght of your natural cycle - unless you need to undergo a medicated cycle. Generally you contact your clinic on the first day of your cycle (first day of AF). You may then be booked in for a scan 10 or so days later (depending on your cycle lenght) to see if your lining is thickning, and that you are producing a follicle. You will then use start urine tests to detect your LH surge which signals that you are about to ovulate. You may also have a blood test to check for your surge. Approx 2 (or 5 days if it is a blast) days post ovulation, you will have your transfer. You are then in the two week wait. You may or may not have progesterone support during this time. You will have a blood test approx 14 days past transfer to see if you are pg.

If you dont naturally ovulate on your own, you may have a different cycle with drugs given from the start to get your body to ovulate. I'm not sure of the details and if that may extend your cycle...sorry.

A stim cycle is generally longer than a FET cycle as you are on meds to control hormones and produce lots of eggs.

Hope this helps and good luck with your cycle. Wishing you a BFP!
