I have done one Down Regulation Stimulated Cycle and one HRT FET (which lead to our BFP).
On the down reg cycle it went like this:
Day 5 of period - started pill
Day 21 - still on pill and started on Syneral (nasal Spray) in the am/pm
Day 27 - took last pill - still on Syneral
Started bleeding on Day 31 (will call that Day 1 of new cycle).
Day 4 - still on Syneral - went for first scan with FS to check that everything was "switched off"
Day 6 - still on Syneral - started on Puregon 100iu
Day 11 - Still on Syneral and Puregon - went for scan with FS
Day 15 - Last day of Puregon - had last scan with FS
Day 16 - had Syneral in the am and trigger injection in the pm
Day 18 - EPU
Day 20 - Transfer of Embryo and started on Crinone.
Day 34 - went in for BT - unfortunately it was a BFN
So all in all I went to the FS for 3 scans, then had the day off work for the EPU, and went in for transfer (but went to work before and after). Apart from that it was just the BT which I did on the way to work
I won't bore you at the moment with the FET, but if you ever want to know the process for that, just let me know.
I continued with my life as per normal (or as normal as you can when you are so full of hormones). In fact on the night that I did my trigger shot, I was interstate at my BFF wedding!
I wish you all the very best of luck. It is a daunting process, but so worth it when you get that BFP.
Mine seems a bit more complicated than the others here! I did a down reg cycle, but I don't recall exactly how long I was on the pill before the injections started, but this is my time table.
