What is 'down regulation'? I've not had that... I am wondering if I should? Is my clinic doing something wrong???

What is 'down regulation'? I've not had that and I'm on my fourth cycle soon. Is my clinic doing something wrong? Thanks in advance, Peeps.

Warning.... This is THE most unmedical response u will probably receive lol but it's basically medication the shuts ur cycle down and almost simulates at mini menopause so they can control starting all back up again super charged "stimulation"

i doubt ur clinic is doing anything wrong different people have different treatments long protocol short protocol natural! All sorts I'm sure your clinic is using the best treatment plan for you requirements! I had long protocol so the shut it down and revved it back up again

I hope that makes sense 😀

Good luck😘🍀👶 xx

I didn't have down regulation as I had short protocol which works more in tune with your natural cycle. I'm now 20 weeks pregnant with twins so it definitely didn't have any adverse effect for me.good luck.

Thanks, both. So, what is a 'short protocol' (or 'long')... this is what I mean, my clinic is sub-standard... Each time I've been on the highest legal daily dose of Menopur for a fortnight. What type of protocol is that? 😐
