Hi Princess Fi

It does sound like a flare cycle but perhaps check with your clinic.

I am in one at the moment and personally I have responded better to this than the 2 times on a down reg. My FS thinks the lucrin supressed my LH too much. However, she also cautioned me that there can be less control on growing the follies at similar rates and hence sizes with a flare.

There is quite a bit of info about flare cycles on IVF clinic websites.

Shannon, interestingly my FS doesn't put me on the pill for a down reg cycle. i am not sure of the difference. But like you I liked the shorter cycle, luckily I responded well to it.

Bestest of luck for your cycle hun, I it all goes fantastically with an awesome bundle of joy for you at the end.
