    Question Medicated Cycle?

    Hello everybody

    i am about to start another FET cycle. Af is due around the 19th of this month. apparently i am to call on day 1 as per usual, but this cycle i think they are starting tracking of bloods earlier. i didnt ovulate last cycle and the clinic nurse mentioned ultrasounds and maybe a booster injection to stimulate ovultion.

    i know nothing about this as my last cycle was natural. is the ulstrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium?

    would i need to take injections or pessaries after transfer?

    i think Ellie has just done a transfer in this type of way...not sure

    CAN ANYBODY HELP ME?

    Hi Sonya!
    How exciting...another step closer to your precious bub!
    Yep - my cycle was a medicated FET...I'll give you a run down of my protocol...
    Day 1 - ring clinic
    Day 2 - BT
    Day 3 - Start 25mg Puregon injections
    Day 8 - BT (E2 was 350)
    Day 10 - BT (E2 was 600) and u/s...to check lining and follicles ( I had one leading follie for the first time in my life and was a 17mm at u/s so didn't need another scan...I think my lining was 10?)
    Day 11 - BT (E2 was 800 LH 9)
    Day 13 - BT (E2 was 900 LH 48 - surge day!) trigger pregnyl 5000 at 8pm...nurse said they like E2 between 800 - 1000...
    Day 17 - Booster shot pregnyl 1500
    Day 18 - Transfer
    Day 20 - Booster shot pregnyl 1500
    Day 23 - Booster shot pregnyl 1500
    Day 25 - BT to check E2 and P4
    Day 32 - BT...preg test!@?!

    I'm only day 20 today so still got a bit to do yet!

    Good luck and I hope that helps xxx

    wow! that IS like a fully stimulated cycle!!! maybe thats why the nurse was so wary when telling me i didnt ovulate and will need A trigger injection. wonder if i will do the same as you. was yours because of Ovulation probs... we should catch up and chat Ellie.. are you going to the meetup dinner in september?

    It looks full on...but it was heaps easier than a full stim cycle...no EPU!!! I HATE EPU! My FS said I would have the needles just to 'get things going' to make sure there were a follie or too to trigger. He didn't seem to think this cycle would amount to much as he was already talking about my next full stim cycle and he wants to try a day one transfer...blah blah blah...which is why I was expecting the blasties not to thaw...and then they did!!!! So I'm still in shock at the moment...I have blasties in my tummy?! I think this is the first time I'm more likely to get pregnant than not...going on the odds of blasties and the fact I had two put in...I live in hope! But yes...we should chat!

    Tell me more about the dinner?

    Thanks...will have a look at the thread.
