Sharon - I am sure my FS said a whole cycle inc down reg would be around 6 weeks depending on how you react to the drugs... so not that much longer than a natural cycle. So for me I was going to start the pill 1 Oct (or when AF arrived), and was aiming for epu early - mid Nov.

It is a HUGE decision, but I can tell you that once you make it, it can go forward pretty fast... I know that from my 1st FS appt it was less than 2 months till I was going to start, and he reason we had to wait the second month was just due to waiting for AF to start on the pill...

You know you can PM me any time to discuss this too....
