Hi Sarah

I am on my first down reg cycle. I was lucky and didn't have to wait very long to start. I am on the pill at the moment and started the Synarel nasal spray last Tuesday. I finish the pill on Tuesday of this coming week and then cross my fingers for an AF. I then have my first scan on the Monday following to check the thickness of the lining of my uterus.

I didn't seem to have problems with ovulating or progesterone levels but have started on a down reg cycle anyway, and I don't think I fall into the young category anymore!

I found the best source of information for me was the magazine size book and DVD that our FS gave us at our first visit. It all looked quite overwhelming in the book - so many medical terms, procedures and drugs - but once you realise that these are pretty much all different options, not all going on at the same time, then things started to make sense. The DVD was very informative - I watched it 3 times and I am sure i will watch it again before EPU. The ladies here are also wonderful and have helped answer my questions whenever I needed.

Take care and good luck on your IVF journey and may it be short for all us!
